Castle Of Illusion Bounces Along

A quick go on Castle Of Illusion saw the unlocking of Superbounce (40G) for bouncing on seven enemies without touching the ground.

Mickey Mouse Enters Castle Of Illusion

Castle Of Illusion is the next game on my playlist after having purchased the download over the weekend, it has been remastered from the amazing game I played a long time ago on the Sega Master System and so far has brought back good memories of the levels I loved playing on.

Three achievements popped in the hour long play beginning with Pretty Picture (20G) for collecting 50 diamonds to unlock the first painting while Disillisioned (20G) unlocked for breaking the illusion of 75 enemies.

Just before I went to bed, Tick Tock (20G) clocked in for completing a stage in Time Attack mode and with that I saved and exited the game.

AlphaJax Spells As Saints Row IV Becomes Complete

An early morning catch up on AlphaJax saw the unlock of Deft Doer (10G) for playing 100 moves across all games.


Later on I continued my pursuit of finishing Saints Row IV as I needed two final achievements for completion and early on Fourth and Forty (40G) clocked in for spending over 40 hours in the Simulation. A long day of effort on challenges and activities spanning six hours climaxed with the unlocking of The Challenge King (30G) for completing all of the challenges and my final scenes can be seen in the following video...

So Saints Row IV becomes my 10th retail completion and 20th overall completion as some previous completions have received DLC which has uncompleted' them and hopefully will be re-completed in the future.

Saints Row IV Story Climaxes In 250th Post

Saints Row IV is two unlocks away from 100% completion after a truly amazing day which saw the milestone of 75,000 G reached early on and saw the completion of the story late in the evening.

A haul of 16 achievements totalling 375 G and 652 TA points began with the unlocking of Paranormal Bromance (25G) for completing all Matt's quests and missions while Bouncin' with an Old Friend (25G) popped up for completing all Johnny Gat's quests and missions. 

Elementary (10G) swept in after choosing a new element for all of my superpowers and swiftly following was Where's My Cape (20G) for purchasing all superpower upgrades.
 
And I Ran... (10G) sped in for Super Sprinting for 250,000 metres while Experimental Tech (20G) shot in for killing 25 Aliens with the following weapons: Dubstep, InflatoRay, Bounce Gun, Disintegrator, Abduction, and Black Hole Gun.

Half Way Home (25G) moved in for completing half of the open world gameplay in two districts of the simulated Steelport then Pounded The Pavement (10G) stomped in for killing 100 Aliens using the Stomp Super Power. 
  
The Two Shaundis (25G) unlocked for completing all Shaundi's quests and missions while How It Should Be (40G) came in for completing all open world game play across the entirety of simulated Steelport. 

 On Her Saints Secret Service (25G) spied in for completing all Asha's quests and missions and was soon joined by Zoo Keeper (10G) for killing 25 Wardens which took a lot of effort may I add.

A Real Cluster... (30G) finally unlocked after collecting all Data Clusters which totalled 1255 spread across the map and was an lot of work but the success was soon increased as I Am Become Death (30G) dropped in for killing 1000 Aliens with any combination of Super Powers.

Saints and Sensibility (30G) linked in for completing 'Grand Finale' after having completed all 'Homie Missions' and the final achievement of the night was the nail in the coffin for the villain Zinyak in the shape of Imperator (40G) for completing 'Grand Finale' and in doing so bringing the story to a close.

So just two achievements left on the game mean playing for a total of 40 hours and completing all of the 65 challenges of which I have completed 36.
