A Saintly Underachieving Month

Passed most of the month playing Saints Row 2 not continuously but boy aren't the Achievements slow. Taking a break as got Just Cause 2 this weekend - yes another Classic discounted but already got near half Achievement score as Saints in one day's play !

Cause's island landscapes are great and the best sea/shore effect yet comparerd to others played.

Looking forward to happy destructive ( reminds of Mercenaries with weapons drop ) hours ahead.

P.S Latest score ... Saints Row 2 Just Cause 2.

A Tale of 2 Games

Hi

As you know I live in the world of discount games ( hey I'm not working ! ) last Saturday night I took a break from Bioshock 2 and tried out my Brothers In Arms2 game to discover a faulty disc - now returned. Boy error message of Unrecognizable Disc 5 or 6 times after cleaning was enough. Strangely after the long intro and playing for 5 mins I earned 10 Achievements then it froze !

Now the owner of another XBox Classic - Saints Row 2 playing on casual and after near 4 hours of gameplay .. Zero Achievements. Talk about hard going, I must be doing something wrong. Having last playedGTA3 on PS2, despite the video review here SR2 is aGTA clone - not a rewarding one for me yet & looking forward to the fun element, perhaps I'm just depressed :(.

Till the next one !

Assassin Stop ... for A and Bio

Really pleased with my AC2 progress 85% completed and not bad achievements but got stuck with on screen advice about advance wall climbing - blimey just can't do it despite the times pressing that bloody A button. Had a break with Crackdown but dodgy/scratched disc despite installing it. Had to start again, lost times how many and screen freezing !!

This morning 2 online bargains ( @ £6.99 each ) arrived after reading reviews here, so dipped into my first hour with Bioshock 2, not played previous one but strange & different. The other disc Brothers In Arms( think it's 3 ) will wait for a rainy day.

Noticed my new level 4 is ranked as Paper Boy... yeah a really old one !

See ya !

Assassin' on ....

Bit fed up yesterday so finally started Assassin's Creed II despite not completing the previous adventure. Brought this online reduced last November ! It's the Game of The Year classic edition so I'm having high hopes. Yes I know I'm behind with AC4 soon out but already my achievements for the the first section is almost the same as Forza M2 which took months !

So game on ...

Forza M 2 - achieve along along ...

Brought Forza Motorsport 2 somewhile ago on discount/classic edition but found it hard going especially the achievements.

To play any game you need some encouragement, I've finally gone past the 100 ( yes 100 ) after completing the arcade mode in gold.

Despite my limited gaming skills this driving game needed a lot of patience.

Old gamer .. slow to catch up

Finally finished Tom Clancy's Advance Warfighter 2 on easy - yes. Lot of unfinished games like Assassin Creed, have 2 but want to finish story on first. Also got TC's Vegas 8/2 to start after brief hire years ago - gave up on end of first outing but now done. Like unfinished books. Why not possible to kill RAAM on easy on GOW ? GOW2 no problem, gave up on RAAM and trying on next level to gain some achievements. I am slow but I'll get there. S
