Limbo – Alone in the Dark Achievement July 23, 2010
Posted by xerocube in : Arcade, Misc., XBOX 360 , add a commentMany 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.

Shadow Complex Achievements July 21, 2009
Posted by xerocube in : Action, Adventure, Arcade, XBOX 360 , add a commentShadow 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 commentMy 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.
