Happy new year, Chris.  The problem with using foreach on the result of that query is that it returns a single thing: the platform called “Xbox 360.”  Now, it has a number of games on that platform, but the root of the query is just the platform itself.

You can turn the query inside-out, to find games whose platform is the Xbox 360, or you can iterate over the games on that platform, instead of iterating over the platform itself.
