Crackdown 2

Which I've not played for a week.

Silly drums

Belmit · 01-08-2010, 21:07

I'm seriously PO'd right now. Just finished Lego Harry Potter and I have:

20/20 red bricks
50/50 student in peril
24/24 true wizard
200/200 gold bricks
24/24 crests
167/167 character studs
36/37 achievements

That one achievement I don't have is the 100% completion achievement. It's stuck at 99.9% with nothing left to do. Gutted.

Had a look at this achievement guide? http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...d.php?t=239754

Might be something you've missed! Not heard of anyone having much trouble with glitches or anything.

Belmit · 01-08-2010, 21:19

The only thing I didn't do is re-beat every level in Free Play, which sounds like an odd part of the 100% and ought to be worth more than 0.1% of the game. For some I got the collectables I needed and quit. I really hope that isn't it. :/

Haly · 01-08-2010, 21:22

I haven't 100%ed it yet myself as my Mum's busy working her way through it now.

Having said that, X360A are usually pretty accurate :/

Belmit · 02-08-2010, 00:02

Just went back and did every level I knew I hadn't finished a second time. No luck.

Bit of a bump as we've not posted in this for ages

First off, I recently bought Dead Rising: Case Zero and I loved every single minute of it. I've already taken to Chuck as a character, he seems quite cool, so I enjoyed playing as him. It's very much like the first Dead Rising, which is to be expected, but the refinements make it even more enjoyable than the first game. The control scheme for shooting was very poor in the first game, but it's very much like most shooters now, using the left trigger to bring up the aiming reticule and the right stick to aim. I love the weapon combo system, creating things like a Spiked Baseball Bat, Beer Hat and Paddlesaw is just awesome, and I can't wait for the full game to discover the alleged 200+ combo weapons. Great achievements in the title as well, which took me 2 1/2 playthroughs to get all of them. It's just gotten me really hyped for Dead Rising 2 now, which can't get here quick enough!

On the back of that, I've also gone back to Dead Rising. I plan on going through it twice more before the sequel drops, once to remind myself of the story (which I remember pretty well, with a few minor details missing), and another to try and get the achievements I'm missing. Still need to play through Infinity Mode as well to try and get the 5 and 7 day survivor achievements. I'll try them when I get a spare 16 hours somewhere! Definitely want to 1k this, preferably before the sequel comes out as I might not be able to go back to the controls of the first game after spending 20-40 hours trying to 1k the sequel.

Beyond that, I've still got some review games to get through, with RUSE hopefully on the way to me today. That looks interesting so hopefully that will come in the next day or so

What's everyone else playing lately?

leowyatt · 08-09-2010, 12:08

I've played absolutely nothing

My xbox hasn't been turned on since I disconnected the VGA cable when I borrow the footy games off you for the worldcup.

Belmit · 08-09-2010, 14:16

I downloaded and completed Limbo the other day. Amazing game. So simple but so cunning in some of its puzzles. I highly recommend it, especially as I never buy marketplace games. Get the demo, play it, then buy it.

Haly · 08-09-2010, 15:41

Played quite a lot of late for reviewing purposes.

In terms of games I actually feel bothered to talk about though...

Dragon Age Awakenings - picked this up without a box for £6. Excellent fun as I loved Dragon Age the first time round. Roll on Dragon Age 2

Lara Croft and The Guardian of Light - nice twist on the usual Tomb Raider formula.

Dead Rising 2: Case Zero - love it! Enjoying it much more than the original as the aiming isn't so ridiculous. A review copy of DR2 is winging its way to me asap but I might be delegating as I'm not sure I'm really the right person to cover a DR game.

I was terrible at the original.

Singularity - borrowed from Nokkon. Just didn't really fascinate me :/ Some good ideas but it was lacking anything unique to be that compelling. Completed it though as people on Twitter kept telling me to persevere as it would improve.

We Sing Encore - never played a karaoke game before. Excellent fun

Even if I can't sing

Now to tackle Super Mario Galaxy 2 again and a copy of HAWX2 arrived yesterday which was rather nice
