What is a Gamer Profile?

By , About.com Guide

Question: What is a Gamer Profile?
Answer: Your gamer profile is made up of a number of different bits of information.

  • Your Xbox Live Gamertag (nickname)
  • Gamerscore (accumulated points across all of the games you have played)
  • Reputation (the ranking other users rate your behavior on Xbox Live)
  • Gamerzone (Pro, Underground, Recreational - what type of gamers you want to play with)
  • Achievements [specific accomplishments in the games you have played)

All of this different information combines to give your friends and other people a nifty little window into your gaming habits. They can see what games you have played, what achievements you have earned, and compare your gamerscore to theirs. You can share your gamercard with other people on the internet by going to MyGamercard.net.
