February Summary

Unlike in 2012, February has smashed all three records from the previous year with a mix of games across the month including unlocking at least one achievement per day from the 14th.

Due to spending most days off work with my girlfriend the 360 has taken a step back but still manages a great haul for the month.

76 Achievements unlocked (33)
16   Games played (8)
1817 TA points* (508)
1175 Gamerscore (435)

All in all a massive improvement which if averaged out right will mean 1000+ unlocks y the end of the year and with a couple of purchase and some DLC in March the haul should grow further.
