Go for the Gold!!!!

So I got a hold of a pretty rare game. Asterix at the Olympics. Took me a couple of hours to finish this but all in all it wasn't a bad game. The full 1000/1000 is pretty easy since all the collectibles are in sight, although 2 of those pigeons eluded me for quite some time. The game is very similar to Rachet & Clank so it was pretty enjoyable, but as I always say, I am glad I will never have to play that again.

1 more game completed and I now stand at 52524G.

Note to self: I need to update the list at the bottom more often.

Pinata's Up for Grabs

Anyone need any extra pinatas? Yep, that's right. I finally finished viva pinata. I had lost touch with the game for a long time and since I brought it back into my xbox, it all came back naturally. Good to have that one out of the way, I think itll be time for Trouble in Paradise soon.

Next game? I am not sure. Prince of Persia? CoN Prince Caspian? VP TiP? or maybe CoD: WaW?

Who knows only time will tell.

BTW - if anyone needs any help with Viva Pinata, I will gladly help with the rest of the resources I have left on my gamesave.

Assassin's Creed

Wow!!! What a flashback. I had not touched this game in 6 months and I came back to it and finished the last two achievements, "Keeper of the Four Gospels" and "Personal Vendetta". The templar achievement was especially difficult due to the fact that I was only missing one and I did not know which one it was. I was SOOOOO LUCKY to find him in the port of Acre. None the less, I am glad to have another game at 100%, even though it was only 60G. Of course since I am finishing this game, I also bring you useful information about this game with:

ACHIEVEMENT TIP OF THE DAY

Seeing how difficult it is to keep track of all these flags, I was lucky enough to find a site to help me out. This site will not only help you locate all the flags, but it will also pop up an interactive picture of the location of the flag and also allows you to check boxes below that area so you can keep track of it. Those check marks actually stay saved on your cookies for you browser so you do not have to do it in one sitting. Its a great site to use to help you keep this game organized.

Assassin's Creed Maps

I hope this helps and enjoy!!!

Achivement Unlocked!!!

So if you read my twitter, I have finally completed Just Cause. It's a great game, but I am truly glad I will never have to play that game again. These achievements probably took me a lot longer than they should have but that darn Race #7 was almost impossible if I had not used the gyrocopter, and the settlement that is furthest south was also just impossible with tanks coming up to you the second you start the mission. None the less I AM DONE.

So now to a special report:

ACHIEVEMENT TIP OF THE DAY

Now that I have earned the achievement, I get to share with everyone here. We all know the Gears of War 2 achievement "Suicide Missionary" that is worth 150G can take a really long time unless you are just amazing at the game and have one shot kills all the time. Well, just because you have to have insane difficulty does not mean your buddy has to. Thats right!!! I'm telling you to play Co-op and have them be on casual difficulty. No it will not hinder the achievement and it will make the process so much easier. The enemies will be more prone to your buddy's weapon and he/she will not take as much damage so quickly like you would on insane. Keep in mind that you are still on insane mode, so take cover and stay alive.

That is it for today!!!!!!

Update 1-9-09

So just wanted to give an update on what I have done since my last post. If you hadn't notice I did make several changes and additions.

Twitter - Great website I am going to start using to give you info on getting achievements or things I might post later, but with this addition, you will not have to wait for me to post it. It is set on a live feed from whenever I send a message to my phone. If you have twitter, dont forget to click that link to follow me!!!!

Skype - I am always looking for ways to improve and no one is better at giving advice than those who actually visit the blog. I have added a skype window for you to contact me personally, I use it all the time, its free, and its a great program to use to keep in touch with people. If you dont have it you can download it here.

Added Content - I have also recently added my gamercard to the right (which I will fix soon enough) and have added my achievement list at the bottom. Now I wish I had a program to update it automatically but I dont. That list is my personal list for you to keep track of my achievements as you see me hit my 1000 mark on each game. I will keep it up to date often and will also use twitter to keep you updated.

Like I have said, I am always open for suggestions so if you have one, lay it on me already. With all these new additions, I hope to hear from you soon.

Distraction, but victorious

So I knew this would happen as soon as I started this blog. I got distracted trying to get more achievements and forgot to write a post. Just a little info on what I am trying to get together here, you can see that on the right I am trying to get a list together of all the games I have with their corresponding gamerscore I have currently achieved. So far only some of the completed games are listed but more are to come.

My main distraction since my last post was getting the last achievements on Scene It: Lights, Camera, Action. Of course that scholar achievement was a bit rough, but who would have thought that answering 3 documentary questions would be so hard. Turns out there only 6 questions that will count for that achievement and for others wondering, Apocalypse Now question is not part of that achievement. Another game I had the opportunity to cmplete was GUN, a very fun game but not something I wanted to spend a whole month trying to complete, especially since the achievements are not stackable. I did end up using the cheat to get these achievements, but I still earned that Gold collecting achievement on my own. So no I do have 1000/1000 on both GUN and Scene It: LCA.
I will now be working on Scenete It: Box Office Smash Hits and also You're In the Movies, as long as trying to finish Just Cause.
