Okay, for some reason Yaris doesn't want to play correctly. Whenever I try to play it I get the 'Xbox Live Arcade' white screen and then the menu thing comes up and says they can't find the game, return to desktop. -.-; I hope turning it off and on will work. I tried redownloading it and got the same thing. Don't be fooled by the Yaris thing, honestly. It pops up even if I have a game up for like 5 seconds. It did that with XNA.
