Last night I played Heavy Weapon for about an hour and I got three achievements in it! I continued my single player mission mode where I had left off at level 18. I completed that level with absolutely no problems at all, the boss was a cakewalk. Then on to the very last level in the game, The Red Star HQ, level 19. This one was pretty tough, even though all my weapons were maxed out. The main difficulty in this one, was that there is an unending wave of satellite laser enemies (not sure what they're called) constantly coming at you the whole time. The problem with these guys is that if their laser hits you, your'e dead. It doesn't matter if you have a shield or those spinning orbs. Normally these things aren't that big a deal but when you combine them with a constant barrage of other enemies, like rockets, tanks, kamakazie planes, bulldozers, etc. they become a pain real quick. After several tries I finally got to the final boss. At first this guy looks like he's not too hard but he's got three forms, and the first one is the worst. He shoots unblockable lasers from two sides in three different patterns. They don't home in on you but it can seem like it. I got my a$$ handed to me the first few tries but I eventually defeated the boss and got the Ultimate Tanker (25) achievement. Not only that, I regained my spot at #1 on my friends leaderboard. I had added a couple dudes that 3pwood_lives and I played 4 player TMNT with this weekend to my friends list and one of them had a higher score then me, around 14,700,000. Well my high score is 14,900,000 which puts my overall rank at about 1600 on the leaderboards.

After playing through the single player game, and once again failing the 12 minute survival achievement I hopped on XBL for some 4 player mayhem. The game is a blast online and the screen gets FILLED with enemies. It's too bad there aren't more achievements you can only get online. I got the ComSat Uplink (10) achievement for playing with 3 other people for a minute and I also got the Massive Destruction (20) achievement for destroying 12 enemies with a single Nuke. Now I have all but 3 achievements for Heavy Weapon, the aformentioned Champion of Freedom (25), the Freedom's Last Stand (25) for defeating all 19 bosses in Boss Blitz mode (certainly doable but not easy) and the almost impossible Cannon Happy (20) for completing 11 missions without using Nukes or dying.

I think maybe I'll pick up Assault Heroes next but for now I'll continue playing Symphony of the Night and I think I'll start in on Final Fantasy XII this week.
