I seem to have got Fable instead of Fable: The Lost Chapters

Correct, the original Xbox games don't have achievements on them. If you want to be a score whore and beat Daz and Haly for score really quickly I can recommend a few games

is Fable ok instead of the Lost Chapters one?

I'm just not a good gamer I guess!!

You're missing out some extras (missions, armour, weapons, spells), but the overall game is not that different. I loved Fable so I'm sure you won't notice any real difference.

If you want some easy points, get your hands on NBA2K6 or NHL2K6, as you can get the 1000 points in both games in around 30 mins as they're simple to get. King Kong is another easy one as you get the points for finishing the game (the game itself is not great, but you can use cheat codes to make yourself invincible and make it more bearable). Fight Night Round 3 is also easy to get the 1000, as you get 100 points for winning each "special" fight, and if you lose it you can simply switch off the console before it autosaves and then load it up for another go

4000 very easy points there

Edit: If anyone wants a challenging 1000 points, I recommend Dead Rising. Fantastic game but some really challenging achievements that I'll be trying to get over the Christmas break

The Saint is top of that list imo. I reckon there are some scoops which will only appear or be solvable if you're following the case files as well, so you basically have to be an uber god and never miss a trick.

I read somewhere that it's not actually possible to save everyone though in one play, no matter what you do.

The Saint is do-able, you just have to do the case files up to a certain point (as some survivors are story related), then ignore the story from part way through and just get the survivors.

The hardest ones will be the 5 and 7 day survivor achievements. It will be very hard for 5 reasons....

1) You can run into Psychopaths anywhere, and have to deal with zombies at the same time

2) Your health decreases over time, so you always need food to top it up

3) Food doesn't respawn

4) There's not enough food to last for 7 days

5) You can't save the game anywhere

You can get food by killing the psychopaths, and the lack of food means you have to actively go out and seek them, while killing them in the most efficient way possible, while trying to deal with the zombies at the same time. The lack of a save system means that you have to play for 14 hours straight to last for 7 days. It's the achievement I'll aim to get last, as it's the one which could see me kill something if I last 6 1/2 days then die.

I didn't realise you couldn't save :/ I seem to remember your level decreases as well, that right? Which would suck ass.

Davey_Pitch · 19-12-2006, 12:12

Just your health, not your level (unless I've missed that somewhere). From what I remember, I think it takes something like 12 minutes for a full health level 50 character to die from the health reduction, so you need to keep moving and finding food.

My plan of attack on it is to do every other achievement first, but primarily the Zombie Genocider (killed 53,594 zombies in one game) as that unlocks the Real Mega Blaster, the most powerful gun in the game which can take down psychopaths in one or two shots. When I have that, I'll go straight into the game and get the 3 books which increase the amount of health you get from food (meaning I'll need to eat less). From there it's simply a matter of trying to survive for 14 hours straight. I swear if I die after 13 hours or something I'll snap the DVD in half :/

Open Season is also very easy, and so is cars, though they both take a little while as it's all story based.

Aye, I heard about them, thinking of renting them at some point so I can try to catch you up score wise
