Xbox 360 is a great gaming console that features one of the best graphics. Video games can be displayed on HD on this gaming console. There are various games of different genres that you can play on the Xbox 360. You can play adventure, fighting, RPG, Sports, racing games and other genres of video games with the Xbox 360. And like any other console, you can connect two or more controllers on the Xbox 360 and play with your friends. But if your friends can't come and play with you, you can still play with other players through the Xbox Live.

Xbox Live is an online multiplayer gaming that owners of the Xbox 360 can use. Players can play against other players from anywhere in the world. But you do need to connect to the internet.
