Completed Game: Wallace & Gromit #2

A very quick and easy game to get all the achievements in. Check out THIS guide if you want to knock it out extremely quick. I like these games, a nice change of pace.Xbox 360 Live 1600 Points [Online Game Code]

Achievement Bounty 9-16-2010

I have Halo: Reach pulling me one way and the GSL pulling me another. Stretch arm strong would even have trouble with this dilemma. Even though things look extremely bleak on the GSL front, I don't want to go down without a fight. 

Completed Game: Autobahn Polizei

Autobahn Polizei
Not too bad at all. I wouldn't mind seeing another Crash Time now, but the voice actors need to go. The overall length is somewhere in the middle range of games, neither long or short. 12-15 hours and easy achievements overall. Avoid Crash Time 1 at all costs.

Myth Buster

Achievement Bounty 9-15-2010

Autobahn Polizei is much better than Crash Time, like tons better. Basically it all comes down to having a simple little map and directions on where to go. It's still not my cup of tea, but improvement is something I can give the the Dev. team props for. I'm not scoring at the rate I would've hoped to be during a GSL,  it's not so easy trying to flip that switch.  Scoring mode is always on, but ultra whore mode, well, that's something entirely different.

Achievement Bounty 9-13-2010

I was thinking about Halo: Reach coming out, so it was hard to stay focused on other games today. I farmed for coins in Planets Vs. Zombies for a long time, but I lost about 120,000 of those due to the game not saving. That was a bummer. I played Halo: Reach the moment I got back with it around midnight. I'm really enjoying it so far. I'll be back tomorrow with daily audio, the podcast should be a good listen, so check that out.

Xbox 360 Games of 2010 worth playing

My personal picks on the finest games 2010 has served up so far.

(In no particular order out of 150+ unique Xbox 360 titles I have played this year)

Darksiders
Bayonetta
BioShock 2
Battlefield: Bad Company 2
Just Cause 2
Metro 2033
Tiger Woods PGATOUR 11
Alan Wake
Red Dead Redemption
NCAA Football 11
Singularity
Crackdown 2
Spider-man: Shattered Dimensions
Mass Effect 2
Mafia II
Splinter Cell Conviction
Planet vs. Zombies

The list covers pretty much all retail releases. I'm sure more arcade games would be on there if I had played them all. I'm looking forward to checking more of those out at some point. The huge onslaught of games is starting here at 12:00am on the east coast, buckle up.

Achievement Bounty 9-12-2010







Heart of Darkness

Confront the Shadow Broker

The Hard Way

Complete the Shadow Broker Mission pack on Hardcore or Insanity

Detail Orientated

Use all information terminals in the Shadow Broker’s stronghold

Catching Up

Reminisce with Liara on the Normandy

I was doing fairly well in the GSL until zombies started raining on my parade. Plants vs Zombies is such a good game, maybe my favorite arcade game of all. I'm so freaking hooked to it at the moment. I just need to wrap it up and move onto other things. At least give the demo for Plants Vs Zombies a whirl, such an awesome game.

Achievement Bounty 9-11-2010






















Most Dangerous Game
Defeat the Shadow Broker’s Assassin (achievement tiles are messed up for ME2)

I thought I had a pretty decent day overall. I'm not tearing it up like some of the people are in the GSL. Not really that worried about it at the moment, I just need to stay consistent. If you want to track the GSL with pie charts and graphs check HERE. Beware, the pie chart for the MachiNe team reads "100% fucked". Out of the games I have played today, Lego Indy 2 is the one dragging me down. I just can't get into it. The Mass Effect  2 Shadow Broker DLC is pretty dang good. You should check it out if you are a fan of Mass Effect. I also finished off Spider-Man: dimensions campaign and Mafia II as well. Both are worth a look if you are even slightly interested in either.

Completed Game: The Idolmaster: Live for you!

Felt good getting that final achievement that was glitched on me. Tip: If you see weird stuff going on with your gamertag on the dashboard, get a refresh by recovering your tag. That should clear things right up. I was too damn stubborn to try that until now.

Achievement Boutny 9-10-2010

The x360a.org gamerscore league has officially begun. And so, I must get my butt a scoring. We recorded the podcast a few hours ago, so look for that in a couple of days.

CGE Cluv CE says: hey i have a 100 dollar BET with my best friend. On average how many random people send u a msg a day?!?

S83: Yes, I know exactly how many I get on a per day basis. I sit at my computer and count all the messages I receive. I then make pie charts and graphs. In a nut shell, that's what I do with my time when I'm not gaming, eating, pissing, shitting, or sleeping.

Achievement Bounty 9-9-2010

Just gearing up for the GSL. It starts in about 22 hours of me writing this. I have finally thought about a game plan, nothing note worthy up my sleeve. Probably won't get much done tomorrow, but come Saturday, there should be a significant leap in my activity. No more pussy footing about. No xbox live message of the day, haven't gotten any good material lately.

It's on!

Achievement Bounty 9-8-2010

Spider-man: Dimensions is all I've played. I'm still enjoying it quite a bit. A lot of variety found within, which keeps it fresh like zip locks. 6 levels to go before I'm done with the campaign. I tried to make a guess yesterday about how long it will take to compete. Unless there is some kind of glitch, it will take 15+ hours to 1,000. I had a goal of getting to 800,000 trueachievement score today, but I fell short.

The cat is out of the bag and there will be scratching. MachiNe Team V1651438(total combined gamerscore) invades the x360a.org Gamerscore league Season 9. It starts up Saturday at 12:01am EST and runs until the clock strikes midnight November 1st. Smrnov, Tjayars, Omega Deez, and I will be trying to pull it off. Personally, I think we are being thrown to the wolves and our chances of winning it is slim. It won't be because of a lack of effort, it will be brought. Good luck to everyone participating in it.

Achievement Bounty 9-7-2010

Still not catching fire, but it's better than a single. Feeling like I'm about to break free from the slump. As far as Spider-man: Dimensions goes, it seems solid so far. I'll probably be in bed exclusively with it until I finish up the campaign. The noir levels remind me of the stealth found in Batman AA to a degree. The boss battles have some really nice touches, too. The only complaint I have is the fairly cheesy dialog. The voice acting is actually better than decent, just some of the dialog bugs me. Feels like a few Spider-man games rolled into one and I think it's well worth your time.

Achievement Bounty 9-6-2010

I failed it up so hard yesterday. I had plans of getting at least all of the wanted posters in Mafia II and I ended up getting just 20 of them.

Achievement Bounty 9-5-2010

Looks like a decent bounty but it's deceiving. I'm still burnt, all I have on my radar is Halo Reach. Halo will beat that burnt feeling out of me like Bobby Brown. Switching up the timing of the bounties so they come at the end of the day.

Achievement Bounty 9-4-2010





Tac Loc Takedown
You successfully completed 5 Tactical Locations with all agents in the same Squad Chopper.

Got that Crackdown 2 DLC done, more coming out according to some of the locked avatar awards. Still plugging away at Mafia II. I really do like the game and not completing it in a timely manner is not a knock on it. You must come up for air at some point.
