Limbo – Alone in the Dark Achievement July 23, 2010

Posted by xerocube in : Arcade, Misc., XBOX 360 , add a comment

Many of the achievements in Limbo can be found through sheer exploration of the game’s environment. Most requiring a keen and observant eye. However, the Alone in the Dark achievement was a bit further off the beaten path.

This achievement “egg” is located at the very end of Chapter 14, right before climbing the long ladder leading to the Giant Fly. (A shortcut to this would be to restart at Chapter 15 and backtrack down the ladder.) At the base of the ladder, run right into the darkness. Run until you hear that you’re stepping in water (this is about a 10 Mississippi count from the ladder) and then jump right as high and far as you can. If you have landed safely, continue running right until you see the shining “egg”. Step on it and you’ve earned the Alone in the Dark achievement.

To get back to the game, just run left until you get back to the ladder.

Do you want to know what happened AFTER you were forced to make a huge mistake in the game’s final moments?

Infinity Ward has recently released the latest trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Call me a fanboy or what have you, this game looks to be amazing! This looks to be the game of the holiday season for many of us in the gaming community.

Final Fantasy III (DS) August 27, 2009

Posted by Archbishop Xero in : Nintendo DS, RPG , add a comment

I have been looking for a game to sink my time into on road trips and such. I love my RPGs, especially those with good stories. Usually, that means I fall to a Square-Enix game — and that’s what I intend to do this time as well. Instead of choosing a game in the series I have played before, I chose Final Fantasy III. This was a Japan-only release for the longest time, and even though it was released in 2006, I finally have the time to try it out. Hopefully, it will be worth the time!

Shadow Complex Achievements July 21, 2009

Posted by xerocube in : Action, Adventure, Arcade, XBOX 360 , add a comment

Shadow Complex, due August 19, 2009, looks to be a fantastic XBLA game, paying homage to the great Metroid and Castlevania game of days past. The achievements for this game have just been announced and one I find interesting is the “Minimalist” achievement. I am used to seeing rewards for finding everything in a game, but rarely do I see a game reward the player for completing a game with the bare minimum of items contained in a game.

Shadow Complex Achievements arrive with a handful of screens, new trailer

  • LET’S GET PUNCHY: Melee 5 soldiers (15)

  • BOMBA PUNTER: Punt 20 Bombas (20)

  • MY HEAD A-SPLODE: Get 50 head shots (20)

  • MAKE ‘EM SCREAM: Get 100 soldiers to scream (20)

  • TO KILL A BLACKBIRD: Destroy the helicopter attacking the Vice President (15)

  • LOOK OUT!: Kill a soldier with a Bomba (5)

  • WALKIN’ ON WATER: Make it from one end of lake to the other in hyper-speed (5)

  • HERO: Complete the game on any difficulty setting (50)

  • COMPLETIONIST: Complete the game with 100% of the items (20)

  • MINIMALIST: Complete the game with less than 13% of the items (10)

  • PROVEN GROUNDS: Complete the Proving Grounds (10)

  • SERIOUS COMPLEX: Level-up to experience level 50 (10)

For the 360 folks, there will be 5 new achievements:

For the PS3 folks, an additional 10 trophies are up for grabs:

Price? Rumors have it listed at 1000 Microsoft Points on Xbox Live and $12.99 (€12.99|| £9.99) on the PSN. Should be good times ahead… I’ll see you on the island!

Unreal Tournament 3: DM-Spectrum May 21, 2009

Posted by xerocube in : Action, PC, Previews , add a comment

It’s been a while since I have been genuinely interested in an Unreal Tournament map. If this trailer is even remotely on point, then we all have something to look forward to in the world of UT3.

DM-Spectrum from Matthew Bradley on Vimeo.

Matt Bradley goes on to say:

The initial concept for Spectrum was to subvert traditional deathmatch playstyles by forcing the player to use lights to navigate and kill enemies. The level is completely designed around this idea, thusly it has a fairly simple layout. There are 3 floors, the 2nd and 3rd floor open out onto the main hall in order for the coloured cubes to be easily visible for most of the time. Most of the walls are curved in order to help the player get out of trouble even if they are running directly into a wall. Every boundary has a smaller white light to signify it.

The cubes also serve a purpose. They help to keep the level paced. Each coloured cube represents a different area of the map. These areas are colour-co-ordinated to match the cubes. When a player is in one of these areas the corresponding cube lights up notifying other players. As one learns the map they should be able to find enemies without too much hardship.

The buzz this is creating should lead to an interesting payout. Let’s hope Matt has great success with this and starts a new modding push in the community.
