Going for Gold
I'll be renewing my Gold sub shortly (£2 per month + two free XBLA games, thanks to the current Dashboard deal). I have a number of achievements specifically in mind in doing so.
100’000GS Awards – Most Satisfying Game Completion
To celebrate hitting 6 figures I'm going to take a look back at the games I've played and pick out some best/worst of's in various categories. Most Satisfying Game Completion; sometimes hitting 100% can be a right slog, other times it can be a cake walk, and some rare times it can be a genuinely rewarding achievement!
100’000GS Awards – Least Enjoyable Game Completion
To celebrate hitting 6 figures I'm going to take a look back at the games I've played and pick out some best/worst of's in various categories, this time up it's turn for a worst of "award": Least Enjoyable Game Completion - I've suffered through more than my fair share of painful completions; this "award" especially acknowledges otherwise fun games where fun was thrown out of the window in the quest for that 1000/1000 feeling!
100’000GS Awards – Most Enjoyable Game Completion
This award goes to the game that I had the most fun playing while going for 100% completion. It isn't necessarily a challenging 100%, or even a long 100%. These are the games where I never had to take myself away from just enjoying the game to grind out a bunch of achievements after the fun part was over because, let's face it, if you want to "complete" a game most of the time you are going to have to endure some gameplay you'd normally avoid.
Gaming Challenges for 2011
First, there’s that one achievement I’ve always meant to go back to but never quite managed to muster the enthusiasm to return to the game:
1. Win the Mile High Club Achievement in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Targets two and three are a little sadistic, I’ve played DMC4 on and off since release [...]
Final Fantasy XIII (Part 2)
So, I finally completed FFXII last week. Clocking in a mammoth 114 hours in the course of 21 days. I think my initial impressions comparing it to FFX turned out pretty accurate in the end. Although the story was interesting enough to keep me wanting more and the game world itself was truly beautiful, the characters were bland and uninteresting. There certainly wasn't anyone in the same class as the stand out characters from my favourite games in the series; Cloude (VII), Squall (XIII) & Vivi (IX).
