Burnout Paradise Ruling The Roads

Next on the A-Z list is Burnout Paradise and the remaining achievements involve factors that span the game and as such take a long time to unlock. The first unlock of this cycle is Speed King (20G) for setting a timed Road Rule on every road. This was later joined by Crash TV Air Time (25G) for landing the Mega Jump from the Crash TV Ski Jump and sealing at least 4.5 seconds of Air Time, I got 4.8 in the Dust Storm on Big Surf Island.

While on Big Surf Island, I discovered all 15 events and earned Island Explorer (20G).

Sleeping Dogs Wakes Up

After leaving Bully, I moved on to a new game in Sleeping Dogs sort of a Hong Kong verison of GTA. The first achievement was unlocked by pure chance while fighting and it was Environmentalist (15G) for performing five unique environmental skills. In With The Gang (5G) popped next for completing the Night Market chase.

Bully back in school

Next up is Bully, only two achievements left both quite difficult which is why they still remain, the first is to pick 50 flowers but only 10 can be held a once so involves 40 being given. I started a new game because on my main save, flowers can no longer be given. Within an hour of playing up pops Green Thumbs Up (20G) the achievement I have previously discussed. This leaves the final achievement of the 38 which is to complete the game 100%. Currently I have 93.59% so some catching up to do.

Bulletstorm Echoes Challenge

Back on Bulletstorm and attempting to complete most of the Echoes challenges. After playing across all 14, Shooting Star (10G) unlocked for receiving at least one star per challenge to put me on 28/50 achievements on the game. Later on came Om Nom Nom! (10G) for kicking a Nom Parasite into a fly-trap.

 Celebrity (40G) popped soon after for performing 75% (99) of the available Skillshots. This happened after discovering I was on 96, then going on to find three Skillshots that I could do with the current weapons I had and success came with 'Topless' being the clincher for the achievement for 'blasting away the top half of an enemy'.

That last achievement hit the halfway mark for the completion  (30/60) but with the DLC that I have not purchased there are 20 achievements and for 1600MS (£14) it is not worth the price for just the achievements and also there is no guarantee of fully unlocking them so time to move on.

Bulletstorm fires in after a break

After a five day break from 'Xboxing' due to being busy, the A-Z moves on to Bulletstorm and as with many of my games, the story/campaign had been completed so I will try to add to the 24 achievements already unlocked by going on certain levels or Echoes. The unlocking began with Pointless (10G) which popped for 10 head shots on enemies before the first Dropkit. Chop-Chopper (30G) flew in after killing the enemy in the airborne helicopter in the park.

Old School (15G) unlocked next for completing an 'Echoes' level without winning a 'Skillshot' to end a quick night back on the '360.

Brunswick Pro Bowling hts a Strike

As Brunswick PB is a kinect game it would be hard to play at night due to moving furniture about so it has a lace during the day while BL 2007 is at night.

This afternoon on Brunswick PB a few quick achievements which began with Wrist Guard (50G) for unlocking my first wrist guard and followed swiftly by Ball (100G) for my first ball unlock and joined by Rival Victor (100G) for winning my first rival challenge, all three unlocked at the same time and every achievement on the game has the same standard icon for some unknown reason.

Onto Brian Lara 2007 and a quick unlock of Complete Bowling Tutorial (10G) then off to bed.

Borderlands 100% Completed

Next up in the A-Z is Borderlands, a game that has been sitting in the rack with one solitary achievement left to unlock out of 80. The achievement involves collecting 25 oil cans but the game has no tracker so I could be on five of fifteen but as there is a record of unlocking at least one achievement per game so far in the run this has to be done before I move on.

I decided to have a quick go to see if I could get any oil cans and the first enemy I killed dropped an oil can and I thought it was just one closer to the target but the instant I picked it up, 'pop' and there it was The Lubricator (10G) the last achievement needed to finally see the words 'Borderlands 100% complete'. All that wait and it took less than a minute to seal it, next up is Brian Lara 2007 but that's not in the frame for completion so unlock a few achievements and move on.

Bioshock 2 Protector Trials

After a busy few days on the Olympic blog, back to Bioshock 2 for one last attempt at a few achievements before moving along. The reason for this is that I had already unlocked 40/68 before revisiting the game and of the remaining 28, 15 are online only and seemingly unobtainable with few if any users online currently. so with 13 to aim for and the story on hard a long haul, I decided to got for a couple in the Protector Trials and the other night I hooked one. Today I got another after some practise I unlocked Perfect Protector (20G) for collecting all the ADAM in one stage i chose Adonis Baths 2 because of the mass amount of traps that can be set making it an easier attempt than other levels. The next game in the A-Z will be Blur.
