Xbox 360, I missed you :(

Oh man, does it feel good to play games again! After a lengthy absence, I finally got to play and picked up a few achievements. Now that I have like 5 games waiting to be played, I can say for certain that I don't need to buy any more for a while. I'm nearing the end of Prince of Persia, so next I'll see if Alone in the Dark is as dreadful as everyone tells me it is.















Deflect Master - 20G - Congratulations, you have mastered the art of Deflecting
From what I understand, deflecting is when you block an enemies attack at the last possible second. I think....


Hunter Special - 20G - Congratulations, you can deflect the Hunter's attacks
I guess this proves my theory.


Throw Master - 10G - Congratulations, you have mastered throwing enemies
Got to throw 10 of Ahriman's Jerk Squad into a pit of dooooooooom


Now who's the Hunter? - 20G - Congratulations, you have killed the Hunter
The Hunter can explode in a pretty epic fashion. Kaboom!


Saviour of the City of Light - 50G - Congratulations, the world has been healed
I healed all the light seed spots. Now the world is pretty.


Light Seeds Gatherer - 10G - Congratulations, you have collected 700 Light Seeds
I will get all the Light Seeds, I MUST!!!

Do Mafia Wars achievements count?

Of course they don't, but they do have similar to Xbox 360 achievements. They are starting to get achievements that are no longer unlockable and there also some that are just impossible (999 trillion dollars? Ridiculous!!)

Anyway, off to the important stuff. I continued my quest to complete Prince of Persia. I now have all the powers so I can go anywhere and get all the Light Seeds. It should be fun (and occasionnally frustrating) to collect all of these. I also played some more Left 4 Dead 2, only have one campaign left to do.
















CRASS MENAGERIE - 20G - Kill one of each Uncommon Infected
In the game there are 4 non boss zombies that are different. I think one of them is the SWAT, Biohazard, Clown and Mudman. I ended by killing a mudman.



HEAD HONCHO - 15G - Decapitate 200 Infected with a melee weapon
Aim for the head and chop away.




CHAIN OF COMMAND - 15G - Kill 100 Common Infected with the chainsaw
The only drawback is that the chainsaw uses gas, so it's limited



ARMORY OF ONE - 15G -Deploy an ammo upgrade and have your team use it
Thanks to homeslice for pointing this cheevo out to me!



RAGIN' CAJUN - 20G - Survive the Swamp Fever campaign
I love the posters for each campaign, they're so awesome! The only cure is death!


















Warrior Special - 20G - Congratulations, you have mastered fighting the Warrior!
Dodge the Warriors attacks 20 times in one fight. He's slow to it won't be too bad.


Death of a Warrior King - 20G - Congratulations, you have killed the Warrior
The Warrior is the easiest of the 4 bosses, you just have to keep pushing him into pits.

Light Seeds Locator - 10G - Congratulations, you have collected 400 Light Seeds
400 down, 600 to go!

Light Seeds Harvester - 10G - Congratulations, you have collected 500 Light Seeds
I'm halfway there!

Climbing to New Heights! - 10G - Congratulations, you have found the highest place in the world
The Alchemists final level is the higheset place in the world, so if you play the whole game you can't miss it.

Traitor' End - 20G - Congratulations, you have killed the Alchemist
See you in hell Alchemist!

Light Seeds Hoarder - 10G - Congratulations, you have collected 600 Light Seeds
Past the half way point.

Game Room is cool but....

I just don't get it. You can make your own rooms with arcades, and others can play them. Are these games free for them? Am I the only one paying? What are these metals? And levels? I'm confused. If I get more time, I may look into it but right now i'm in the thick of Prince of Persia and buying bad cheap games (Alone in the Dark, Just Cause) to see if they truly are that bad. I mean c'mon, if a game is 4$, you pretty much have to buy it, right?

















Show Me! - 5G - Visited the Showcase Arcade
Start the game that's it!



My First Theme - 5G - Place a Theme in your arcade

You can select a personal theme for your arcade, which a guess is pretty cool

Proptastic - 20G - Placed 5 arcade Decorations in your arcade
Keep plopping them around

















Speed Kill - 10G - Congratulations, you have killed 10 enemies before they spawned
If you stab the ooze before the bad guys spawn, you don't have to fight them


Good Company - 10G - Congratulations, you have an inquisitive mind
You get this by talking to Elika a lot. These momments are both interesting and funny


Improviser - 10G - Congratulations, you used the environment to your advantage
If during your fight with a boss your knock them in a pillar, this unlocks.


Light Seeds Collector - 10G - Congratulations, you have collected 200 Light Seeds
There's plenty more where that came from


Death of a Concubine - 20G - Congratulations, you have killed the Concubine
Very satisfying! She was so annoying!

Good game, lazy tiles!

I've just started really getting into Prince of Persia. It's a fun a game. The basic premise is you have to go to corrupted regions, beat the boss and then free it. Once the area is free these things called light seeds appear. You need to collect a certain amount in order to gain new powers so you can visit new regions. My only big complaint so far is those god damned achievement tiles. They're all the same! And what's worse, the PS3 trophies for this game actually have different tiles for the trophies. I don't understand this and it frustrates me. On the bright side, I guess I won't to put up many pictures.


I also played a bit of N+. It's a platformer on Xbox Live Arcade and let me tell you, it gets hard after a while. I played it casually on a friend's console, so we'll see if I eventually get it or not.
















Disciple - 5G - Complete one tutorial episode
This achievement is actually pretty easy




Perfectionist - 20G- Complete an episode without dying in Single Player mode
I know I said this game was pretty hard. But if you take your time during the first episode, you can get this without much hassle.


















Into the Storm... - 10G - Congratulations, you have started the adventure!
"Congratulations, you pressed the start button" would be more appropriate!



Up against it - 10G - Congratulations, you have survived a clost encounter
Another easy one my cat could get


Saved! - 10G - Congratulations, you have unlocked Elika's saving ability
Get your ass saved from falling in pit by a chick. That's an achievement?

Wow, these first fews are extremely simple and easy.


Wallrunner - 10G - Congratulations, you have learned the basic moves
An achievement for learning a move you'll use the entire game!


Compass - 10G - Congratulations, Elika can now guide you
Ah, freebies, gotta love them.

Finally, an achievement for doing something

Aaargh!!! Mega Man!!!

I'm trying to go through all the MegaMan games but man, I am losing it!!! I'm not even done the first game and I want to quit. But, I can't just wuss out, I have to do this. I plan on making a review once i'm finished (who knows when that will happen) but until then, these games will be the bane of my existence.

I am playing 360 games still. Here's a couple games that i've played during the week.
















Minion Harvester - 10G - You have gathered 10 Lifeforce orbs
A good start to a legacy of evil.


















1007 Mountain Drive - 30G - Complete Wayne Manor bonus level
AN INVISBLE BRICK!!! They had the balls to put an invisible brick!! I hate when they do stupid shit like this, how can anyone know there was an invisible brick there?



Gentlemen, start you screaming - 15G - Knock 5 people into the ground with a vehicle at once
Another quote from Batman Returns. I just picked up the first 4 movies for a ridiculously low price, looking forward to watching them (expect Batman and Robin, so bad!)



The Destroyer of Worlds - 15G - Destroy 12 objects at once with Bat Bombs
KABOOM!!!


I would like to take a momment to congratulate my girlfriend. She just completed Lego Batman and got all the achievements! Hopefully the first many more to come. Congratulations my love!

Lots of games, not a lot of achievements

I've been jumping around to a lot of games lately. I'm in some kind of a weird gaming recession and I'm having a hard time sticking to one game. It must be because my mind has been on school and trying to get my stage (which by the way, mission accomplished!). Anyway, the hardest part is done and in the next while I should be able to put up some more achievements. In the meantime, enjoy the cluster of varied games and achievements I have unlocked within the last week.















TBoGT: Four Play - 10G - You are a very good swinger
Double entendre! Hit the flagpole 4 times in the golf minigame.


















MIDNIGHT RIDER - 20G - Survive the Dark Carnival campaign
Story, finish Dark Carnival. Done!




GONG SHOW - 15G - Prove you are stronger than Moustachio
You gotta get high on adrenaline and then smash the machine to hit the bell and then boo boop (that was supposed to be the achievement unlocked sound)



A RIDE DENIED - 15G - Kill a Jockey within 2 seconds of it jumping on a Survivor
Why are the achievements yelling at me? Geez, dial it down a bit! I just got this magically without trying.















Thanks a million - 30G - Complete Arkham Bonus level
This is one of two bonus levels you get in the game. You get this after getting Super-Villain in all Villain mission. It wasn't that hard since there were way more then the 1 million studs you have to get.


Shot to the goon - 20G - Defeat 8 goons in 8 seconds
I don't remember if I shot or beat up these guys.




Is it a bird? Is it a plane? - 10G - Glide for 9 seconds
I'm sure i've glided for longer in other parts. But there is one section where this works, so I guess you have to do it there.



Super Builder - 20G - Build 50 LEGO buid-its
Despite having built hundreds and hundreds of Lego build its, I only got it now.


















Mayhem Maker - 10G - You've caused mayhem during the Prelude
Aw, isn't the Overlord so cute as a kid! He's going to grow up to be the master of all evil.



Rock On - 20G - You've killed 15 or more enemies with a single Catapult boulder
I crush a whole squad of Romans, very satisfying!

I Cannot!!!

I just can't play Call of Duty 3 anymore! It's bland, I feel like I've played this game 600 times and I'm stuck at a part that is so badly done I feel like screaming. I sent it back to gameaccess, maybe one day I'll play it again if I'm desperate for achievements but not now. I'd rather play Lego Batman which is much more fun. I don't even really mind having to do it all over again since it was so fun. Sure, I probably won't do that anytime soon since I have so many other games to 100%, but it will definitely be on my list.

Make it snappy - 20G - Build the Croc ride on
This crocodile is more cute then threatening! He goes around biting bad guys and breaking stuff.

The Richest Man in Gotham - 40G - Max out the stud counter

We bought all the multipliers so now we get ridiculous amounts of money every level. We made it to 4 000 000 000, which is the max the counter can go up to.
