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

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)

Gears of War 2 – Thoughts on the Title Update March 26, 2009

Posted by Archbishop Xero in : Action, Articles, Misc., XBOX 360 , add a comment

My gaming crew have been super stoked in anticipation of the new Gears of War 2 title update. With all the improvements, bug fixes, and everything, we were convinced it was going to be a whole new gaming experience. And it was… to a point. It was refreshing to see several tweaks and improvements, and they definitely made the game play differently.

I have to admit that I like the new experience system. It has given me a small sense of accomplishment, as I’d never gained that elusive 2nd Rank in the prior experience system. However, a major complaint is that I can no longer quit out of a game after the gameplay is officially over — forcing me to wait 25 seconds before being dumped back into the lobby. If I exit before I am put in the lobby, I get docked 1500 experience points. WTH? I finished the match, why penalize me?

But I do have to ask, is it too much of an issue to patch some of the geometry issues in the maps (specifically the one in Pavilion allowing cheaters to hop a shield through a shuttered doorway)? Or find a way to keep us from consistently getting sucked into cover when trying to run past a corner? I can’t tell you how many times I have been stuck on columns trying to get to a certain point.

And while the game does play significantly better, I just wish there was a way to effectively eliminate cheaters. I don’t care if I win or lose, as long as I have a fighting chance. I’d rather been firmly shutout by a skilled player or a frakkin’ lag-switcher that leeches all the fun out of the match.

Fresh from Major Nelson’s feed, I have learned there is a free track from Rock Band today. I have provided a link below.

I haven’t listened to the song, so I cannot personally attest to the quality of the track. However, it is free, so no harm for trying it out, right?

French gaming site, Succès Full, has revealed Left 4 Dead’s Acheivements for the 360. My favorites include:

I have been looking forward to this game for a long time. Zombies… co-op game play… “custom” games for each play through… looks like a winner. I can only hope this game captures the player as well as Half Life 2. If so, we are in for a treat.

Rock Band DLC – Week of 10/21/08 – Nirvana Edition October 17, 2008

Posted by Archbishop Xero in : News, Playstation 3, Rhythm, XBOX 360 , add a comment

Here’s the Rock Band DLC for this week. It’s a been a while coming, but next week we’ll see 7 Nirvana tracks! More importantly, it’s from their Nevermind offering. Sadly, “Come As You Are” and “Smells Like Teen Spirit” aren’t being made available. We’ll have to manage with these 7 master tracks.

The full Nirvana 7 Pack will be priced $10.99 (880 Microsoft Points) or $1.99 (160 Microsoft Points) per track.

I, for one, am looking forward to “Polly” and “On A Plain”. These promise to be good times.

Availability:

Rock on!
