Madden 25 And FIFA 14 Score Points

The day began with a session on Madden 25 while watching Redskins v Giants on the snap app and unlocked Going for Gold (15G) for earning a gold medal in a drill on the Skills Trainer while following the medals, I played the WAS/NYG game while still viewing the real one and unlocked the You're Welcome challenge for playing my first football game in December.




I moved on to FIFA 14 and began unlocking on Ultimate Team with Collecting Silverware (100G) for winning a division in Seasons while Chemistry Experiment (10G) mixed in for applying my first chemistry style to a player.

We're Bros Now (10G) unlocked for earning a player's loyalty by reaching ten games with him in the team and in the same match, I Could Do This Every Week (10G) for challenging the Team of the Week.

I returned to Madden 25 to end the night and on Franchise mode with Washington, unlocked On The Ball (15G) for using a No-Huddle offence via the Kinect sensor which with some re-calculation included bring the achievement streak to 216 in 45 days.

Assassins Creed IV Opens December

After a great November and a brilliant haul on DR3 in the last week, I opened December with a quick go on ACIV and scored an early unlock in the shape of Heroes Aren't Born (10G) for completing Sequence one.This brought the achievement streak to 201 in 44 days.

November Summary

November has been brilliant mainly due to the newly launched Xbox One which alone has brought in 74 achievements and this means a new era has begun with two systems providing achievements with the Windows 8 games coming under the Xbox 360 collection.

November 2013 (2012 in brackets)



128 Achievements unlocked (86)
23 Games played  (12) and 2 Apps *

3713 TA points** (1760)
1835 Gamerscore (1145)

*Xbox One features app achievements so are not included with game stats.
**includes DLC recalculation from March and is the total earned so losses not included.


A superb month which has continued the success from earlier through the year and even though the main goals look unlikely, it would be nice to beat last years records.

Dead Rising Survival Gold Ends November

As yesterday was the last day of the month, I looked to get as close as possible to finishing Dead Rising 3 completely but have reached 48/52 achievements with the final four needing a massive amount of time to earn so will be attempted further in the future so other games can be played.

Five achievements were unlocked taking the achievement streak to a stunning 200 in 42 days which is exceptional seeing as this year I only hit that over five months. Anyway, the unlocking began with Genius of Zombie Slaying (25G) for killing a total of 72,000 zombies while Almost Famous (25G) popped up for completing 25 PP trials.

Certified Survivalist (5G) unlocked for earning 25 bronze medals in the Survival Training and was instantly joined by Surviving Training Specialist (10G) for earning 25 silver medals and to complete the set, Survival Training Master (20G) for earning 25 gold medals and closed the November achievement haul.

A selection of the successful training can be seen in the below video...

Fashion Plate 5G) came after collecting 100 clothing items but the unlocking was twofold last night as while playing DR3, I had Xbox Music 'snapped' next to the game and while listening to a variety of music which resulted in four unlocks but for no gamerscore with them being on an app rather than a game.

 Welcome To The Jungle came for listening to ten songs and was soon joined by Same Old Song and Dance for toggling repeat ten times.Can't Touch This unlocked for using voice control to control playback ten times.
