Doritos And Windows 8 Mix

The day began with a quick go on Doritos Crash Course Go with two unlocks which began with Party Pooper (15G) for popping 25 balloons on a level while Frequent Flyer (10G) popped up for flying between fans twenty times.

A quick go on Microsoft Minesweeper saw Gimme Five (10G) unlock for playing the daily challenge five days in a row while next up was a new download on Windows 8 called Fishdom 3 Special Edition and the first unlock was Chain reaction (5G) for making a chain of three explosives.

Tactician (10G) unlocked for clearing 120 pieces in single move and was soon followed by For loyalty (5G) for playing the game for a whole hour.


Hunting for pieces (15G) unlocked for removing 1000 pieces on a single level and I ended the night on the XBLA version of Doritos Crash Course which saw two unlocks beginning with Frequent Flyer (15G) for flying between fans twenty times.

Sore wa kantan desu (10G) unlocked for finishing Japan level 4 in 1.40 or less and ended the night with a massive effort.  

 

Windows 8 Takes Focus

After having a day focused on the Xbox One, I thought a session focused on Windows 8 would be a good achievement boost and after a seven unlock haul it proved to be a good idea.

Samurai v Zombies Defence began the session and the first unlock was We must protect this house (5G) for completing ten waves without any gate damage while Coward (5G) popped up for completing a wave without attacking.

Send them back (5G) unlocked for killing 50 Oni and was swiftly followed by Get back here! (5G) for killing 50 chochinobake.

The session ended with the unlocking of Money Bags (5G) for saving up 15,000 coins without spending it and then I had a quick go on Rayman Jungle Run and unlocked Dessert (20G) for collecting 2000 Lums.


The night ended with a go on Monster Island and the unlocking of Monster Killer (10G) for killing 50 monsters.

 

Xbox One Joins 2014

After a mix of Windows 8 and Xbox 360 focus so far in 2014, it was time to give the Xbox One a play, the main reason it hasn't been used for games a lot is that I got eight at launch with having such a big 360 backlog but three games got a go today and scored six unlocks.
  
Peggle 2 was first up and had a single unlock in the shape of Orange Crusher (10G) for hitting 5000 Orange pegs with Need For Speed Rivals next up and the first achievement was Racer Rank 5 (15G) for reaching Racer Rank 5. 

Deep Down, You Know You Want To (40G) unlocked for driving 50 cumulative minutes in a Ford and entering the garage to finish while 5,4,3,2, Mach 1! (40G) popped up for earning 50 seconds of airtime in any Ford car.

Racer Rank 10 (20G) unlocked for reaching Racer Rank 10 and the night ended with a quick go on FIFA 14 on my pro career and after a good performance where I scored and created a goal, I unlocked Rising Star (30G) for being featured in Team of the Week.

 

Minesweeper Returns With DLC

How typical that in completing The Saboteur to reach 27 completions, a day later one of my completions disappeared as Microsoft Minesweeper gained new DLC but strange that it was completely unannounced and I only noticed after checking my written list of completions.

So this meant an attempt to try and re complete which will be near impossible given the timescale of some achievements but I have five done already which began with First Rung of the Ladder (5G) for reaching the exit on Level 1 in Adventure mode while Came To Play (5G) popped up for playing my first daily challenge.

Came To Win (10G) unlocked for winning my first daily challenge and was swiftly followed by Flag Happy (5G) for filling a classic board with flags.


The night ended with Serious Business (5G) for uncovering a square touching six or more mines and brings the current achievement streak to 44 in 14 days.

Rugby League Live 2 World Cup Scores Ten

A three hour session yesterday on RL Live 2 World Cup saw a staggering ten achievements unlock beginning with Containment (15G) for forcing the opposition to play 65% or more in their defensive half while Back-to-Back (90G) popped up for scoring tries in consecutive sets.

Winners (15G) unlocked for securing a first match win with Hat Trick (30G) popping up for scoring a hat trick with a player.


Tricky (30G) was a very lucky unlock after scoring a conversion via a knock off the post with Unstoppable (15G) popping up after scoring ten tries in a single match.

Coach Pleaser (15G) unlocked for finishing a game with a completion rate of 80% or above and was later joined by Forward Thinking  (15G) for converting a try with a forward and just like on the previous game I used Sam Powell.

Hot Potato (15G) steamed in for completing seven passes in a single tackle phase with the night ending with Streaky (30G) for winning three consecutive matches.

The Saboteur Finally Completed

Even though I have a minority amount of games compared to a lot of people out there, it was bad to see when I returned to The Saboteur that I had not unlocked anything on it for over three years so I was very proud to finally complete the achievement list with the final two unlocks.

Solid Gold (50G) unlocked for completing all gold perks while the illusive 45th and final achievement on the game came in the shape of Casanova (10G) for kissing 50 women to escape alarms, which I boosted by using the lucky woman halfway up the Eiffel tower.

So The Saboteur becomes my first completion of 2014 and 27th overall meaning the goals of 30 and 50 are one step closer to being reached.

 

The Saboteur Returns

After a long session the previous day, yesterday saw another long play which saw a single unlock in the shape of Trick of Treat (5G) for stealth killing a Nazi General while disguised and means only two achievements are needed for completion.

RL Live 2 World Cup Enters

A long session on The Saboteur saw progress towards the final three achievements needed for completion but in order to continue the achievement streak, I went on RL Live 2 World Cup and scored a single unlock in the shape of Frankenstein (15G) for creating a player in the Footy Factory.
