Rayman Origins Continues as Zuma's Revenge Enters

The previous evening's session on Rayman Legends spilled over into the next day meaning that the final story unlock of Nothing Lasts Forever... (80G) unlocked after the Livid Boss was eradicated.


After coming off Rayman Legends, I spotted an unused game on my Xbox 360 Arcade list in the form of Zuma's Revenge and during an early morning session due to not feeling tired, I came away with 16 unlocks out of a possible 20. The haul of achievements began with Spiritual Awakening (20G) for discovering the Spirit Monkey followed by Thread the Needle (10G) for making a match but shooting a ball through a gap.

Power Player (10G) unlocked after building a score multiplier of five with Jaw Breaker (30G) popping up for defeating the Gluttonous Kahtiki Khan.



 
C-C-C-Chain Bonus! (10G) unlocked after shooting 15 balls and making 15 matches in a row which was soon followed by Hoarder (10G) for earning all three Spirit Badges on at least 10 levels.


As the levels stacked up, One with Nature (20G) unlocked for fully levelling up the first Spirit Animal and the next boss fight led to Tiki Trampler (30G) for defeating Maga Maga and his Tiki Minions.


Bone Picker (30G) unlocked after another successful boss fight in defeating Baron Digo and his Skeleton Crew with the next level resulting in the popping up of Frog Statue (10G) for beating a lilly pad level without switching pads.


Pestilence Pacifier (30G) unlocked for defeating Kolo Kamari and his Swarm of Bugs which resulted in Nature's Friend (20G) popping up for fully levelling up two Spirit Animals.


Cephalopod Smasher (30G) unlocked after defeating Cephelo Ka and his Inky-Ink Attack which saw a comedic achievement pop up in the form of You Win! (0G) as a trick fake ending to the story.


The true final boss unlock came in the shape of Time for Tadpoles! (50G) for defeating Zhaka Mu and discovering the secret of the island followed by the session ending unlock in Frozen Frog (10G) for beating a regular rail level without moving the frog. 

Rayman Origins Dashes And Explores

A long afternoon session on Rayman Legends resulted in four unlocks which began with Electoon Friend (15G) for completing 10 Medallions which was swiftly followed by Dr. Lividstone, I presume? (80G) for finding all of the hidden cages.

In pursuit of 200 electoons to unlock the story finale, I did some speed runs and eventually unlocked Speedy! (15G) for earning five speed trophies with The Jaw! (80G) chomping in for earning all 10 Skull Teeth.

Rayman Origins And Legends

An afternoon on a duo of Rayman games saw both old and new with Rayman Legends and Rayman Legends with the latter featuring three unlocks starting with On the way to the top! (20G) unlocked after winning a Silver cup at the end of a challenge followed by Master of the locks (30G) for breaking all off the locks on the paintings.

The session ended with the unlocking of Old school (30G) for finishing all the "Back to Origins" paintings which was a good link to move on to Rayman Origins which saw a single unlock in the shape of Full Mouth (35G) for earning five skull teeth.

Peggle Clears Up

After a mix of games earlier in the evening yielded no unlocks, I had a quick go on Peggle and after some effort came away with a single unlock in the form of Go Ultra! (15G) for achieving an Ultra Clear on a level.

Microsoft Puzzle Duo Combine

The past two days have seen brief sessions across two Microsoft made Windows 8 games which began with Microsoft Jigsaw and the unlocking of Easy on the Eye (5G) for completing 10 easy puzzles in Classic Jigsaw.


Next up was a session on Microsoft Treasure Hunt which split across two days and began with the unlocking of Maybe Invest in a GPS (10G) for using a map 20 times and the following day, Efficient Shopper (10G) popped up after entering a shop with at least 500 gold and spending the lot to leave with 0.

PAC-MAN Museum Combines With Dishonored

Another trio of single unlock days took place from August 17th-19th beginning on PAC-MAN Museum with the unlocking of Game Sampler (10G) for playing nine different games. The following day saw the unlocking of Stamp Lover (20G) for earning 10 stamps.

The final day of this trilogy saw the first play of Dishonored and the unlock of Dishonored (5G) for escaping Coldridge Prison.

Cold Alley Learns And Attacks

After a limited trio of gaming, August 16th saw a longer session on Cold Alley featuring three unlocks which started with Takeoff School (10G) for completing the Takeoff and Landing tutorial and soon followed by Weapons School (10G) for completing the weapons tutorial.


The session ended with 10 Kills (10G) which unlocked after neutralising 10 enemies throughout the career.
