Ch33v0 Unlocked

The Cheevolution Lives On!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 16:12:00 +0000

That's right Cheevo fans. The Cheevolution is still alive and kicking, though we had to move underground. Kind of like the Jews did during the holocaust... Yeah, it's about the same. Anyway, racial insensitivity aside, I will be back to post this week. I've been playing some games here and there, and have gotten a few cheevos in the process but I had one problem... my xbox was not connecting to the Internet. That was peculiar because I was able to access the Internet on my computer, which is wireless, but the xbox is hardwired. So being the lazy person that I am, I just ignored the fact that I couldn't game online and played a few games offline, in the basement, eating a hotpocket.

Well the other night, my computer lost it's connection. After doing all the precursory troubleshooting, I sit down in frustration. That's when I heard it... the tell-tale sound of a dog chewing on something important. There was my puppy, chewing away on the coaxial cable connected to my modem. After chasing the dog out of the room with a 12 gauge shotgun, I dug under the bed to find out that my Ethernet cable connecting my xbox to the world, had been severed.

Well, with the mystery of the lost Internet connection solved, you'll be seeing me online with some new cheevos to be had.

Stand strong my fellow cheev lovers, for we will not go quietly into that good night.

This Week In Ch33v0z, The Gears Of War 2 Cheev Grind

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 02:18:00 +0000

Ok, this is a pathetic post, but it's a post nonetheless... so enjoy it. I did a small amount of gaming, and I'm currently grinding through an older game working on an older game, trying to unlock some of the more difficult cheevos. Since we are goin to be a bit lit in the cheevo department, I suggest you savor every ONE. So get ready to savor, and savor hard... because there is just one.

Gears Of War 2

Around the World, Again-Won a match on every map shipped with the game-30G

So I started playing Gears of War 2 again. Yeah it's been a while since I played this game, but there are plenty of unharvested cheevos just waiting to be plucked! Unfortunately, I have only been able to unlock one cheevo so far, but it's worth 30 points and it's pretty easy to get.

Around the World, Again is obtained by winning a game on each of the shipped maps. There are 10 total, and you can either play against online players or bots. Just set your matches to 1 round each, and put the AI difficulty on easy. 10 short rounds later and you will be looking at 30 points in the bucket.

So that's it! Really short, kind of sweet. I'm currently working on finishing off the GOW2 campaign on insane mode, and getting those sweet ass cheevos. Keep up the good fight, viva la Cheevolucion!

This Month In Ch33v0z, The Finally Posted Something Edition

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 05:57:00 +0000

The cheevz are flowing, they are flowing from all available orifices... kind of like that time I had I drank the water in Mexico... except that wasn't sweet cheevz that were flowing... it was feces, vomit, mucus and just a touch of semen. That was then, this is now, and the now is the sweet ass cheevos. This week is a combination of a month's worth of cheevin', because I'm lazy and because I have lost my computer. So there you have it. I played a few new games, formed a couple of opinions and worked in some sweet ass cheevos.

AFRO SAMURAI

The Past Laid to Rest-Complete "KUMA'S STORY"- 40G

Copy-Cat Killer-Complete "THE DOPPELGANGER"-35G

Rhythm Section-Achieve a total of 3000 combos-20G

The Path to Godhood-Complete "THE LOWDOWN EAST PASS"-30G

Slow Your Roll-Slice an enemy during their attack-5G

You Are Glue-Kill an enemy with a sliced bullet-10G

This Little Piggy-Slice off fingers and toes at the same time-10G

Torso From Tail-Slice 50 bellies-15G

Hatamoto-Unlock 25 skills-20G

I Am Rubber-Kill an enemy with a reflected bullet-10G

Love Lost-Complete "OKIKU'S STORY"-25G

The Price for Vengeance-Complete "SWORD MASTER'S STORY"-20G

Ashigaru-Unlock 10 skills-10G

The Death of Innocence-Complete "SCHOOL INVASION"-15G

A Secret History-Complete "THE DAIMYO'S STORY"-10G

Three-way-Slice 3 enemies at once-5G

Meijin-Achieve 100 kills-5G

Mash Medley-Achieve a 20 hit combo-5G

And so it begins-Complete "PRELUDE"-5G

Two Birds One Sword-Slice 2 enemies at once-5G

Hip Hop-Slice off an enemy's foot-10G

Give Me a Hand-Slice off an enemy's hand-10G

Closer to God-Slice an enemy using a Vertical Attack with a bonus-5G

Hats Off to You-Slice off a head with a bonus-5G

Ok, this is a pretty cool game if you are button mashin' freak. It's got a lot of violence, and gore, which are two MAJOR pluses in my book. Though, the platforming aspect is quite frustrating and the camera is AWFUL. The camera is crap in fact, it's so much crap that coupled with the shitty platforming I couldn't even finish the game. It hands out the cheevz rather freely, but I came close to throwing my controller after I fell of a ledge for the 132513651365 time. That is my sign to quit playing the game, and cut my losses... yes, I'm a quitter.

Not a lot of tips here, mainly because I've already forgotten how to play the game. I will give you a quick tip on two cheevz. I Am Rubber and You Are Glue are ch33v0z involving the "snipers" in the game. Just wait for the sniper to fire, hit your left trigger and then X or Y depending on which cheevo you want. Wait for the tip of the sword to sparkle, then release. You'll fire the bullet back at the sniper or explode it killing those around you. Booya.

Paintball 2009

Reload Skill Proficency-Maxed out the main character's Reload Skill-40G

Communication Skill Proficency-Maxed out the main character's Communication Skill-50G

Speed Skill Proficency-Maxed out the main character's Speed Skill-40G

Handling Skill Proficency-Maxed out the main character's Marker Skill-40G

Accuracy Skill Proficency-Maxed out the main character's Accuracy Skill-40G

Ok, first of all I just want to let everyone know one thing. This game is not good. The graphics suck, and it's boring and even a little frustrating. Though, you can score a few cheevos in relatively short order.

Here is the tip. Win a couple of matches and use the money you get from those matches to upgrade your accuracy skills. This will not only net you a 40 point cheev, but it will increase the likelihood of you achieving hits. Then during every match, flank left or right and send your team straight up the middle. This will let you pick of opponents while they are distracted by your team. As you win, spend your money on increasing your stats instead of gear. You'll get the skill cheevos out of the way in short order.

Halo Wars

Crushed Colors-Improved your Score in any Campaign Mission-10G

No Way Home?-Completed Act IV on any difficulty-70G

Thinkin' about My Doorbell-Mission 15: Opened the Doors in order-5G

Momma's Boy-Got a Gold Medal on any mission-5G

Ugly is only Skin Deep-Completed Act III on any difficulty-70G

Sweet Naptime-Mission 9: Put every Colony in Hibernation Mode at the same time-5G

Key to Pirth-Completed Act II on any difficulty-50G

Ice Warriors-Completed Act I on any difficulty-40G

Alas, Poor Andrew Thomas-Collected your first Skull-5G

This is a great game, and I feel bad for not giving it more time. As you can see, I powered through the game and got pretty much the minimum of cheevos. With the exception of stumbling on a skull or two, these cheevos are gained through completion of the game. I will make time to give it another playthrough and work on some of those lost cheevos.

Peggle

Rock Lobster-Ze flippers for ze win!-15G

Go ULTRA!-Ultra extremely cleared all the pegs in a level-15G

Be Cool-Totally hit a Cool Clear AND Ultra Extreme Fever. Tubular!-10G

Peggle Graduate-Completed the primary course of study at the Peggle Institute-20G

Party Master-Winning a Peg Party is way better than playing with a ball of yarn!-10G

Stylish Project-A million style shot points. Crazy, Style, Cool-15G

Catch the Fever-Cured the need for fever with an Extreme Fever-5G

Oh Peggle, it's crack rolled in heroin and by that I mean it's super addictive. This game rocks, or "rawks" if you are a pre-teen. It's awesome and there isn't much more to it than that... buy it, play it, live it.

Most of the cheevs I got came from tenacity and luck, give that a try. I will comment on the Rock Lobster cheevo. That's obtained by winning an online match playing as the lobster.

Saint's Row 2

Welcome Back-Completed the Saints Revival prologue-5G

I tried to play this game. However, just like it's predecessor I was only able to stick it out for a single cheevo. Something about the story is not appealing. Now, if we are talking GTA that's a different story. I just can't seem to get into this game, in any iteration. So there you go.

Call of Duty: World At War

It’s All about Prestige-You achieved the first level of Prestige. Only 9 more to go-0G

So with all this Double XP nonsense, I decided to "go prestige". Apparently this unlocks the Satan of all cheevos, the zero point cheev. Bastards.

The Dishwasher

Untouchable-Get 21 kills without getting hit once-21G

The Peter Moore Achievement-Hit the Xbox Guide button while playing a killer solo-8G

The First Encounter-Defeat the dude on the horse-10G

I've loved this game since I first experienced the demo a year ago. Little has changed and it's still a pretty sweet little game. For button mashers, this game is all you... and violence fans? Well, there something in there for you too.

Since this is going to be an extremely long post anyway, I'm going to make this short. I'm going to take the next few months to work on some of the cheevos that have been forgotten. Also, my gaming time has been SEVERELY limited, due to lack of interest in gaming. Yeah, that's right... I said it. I've been putting all my time into masturbation and constructing intricate dreamcatchers. Don't worry though, the grind will continue... stay vigilant and be on the look out... cheevo on brothers and sisters.

This Week In Ch33v0z, The Call Of Halo Wars Edition

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 16:27:00 +0000

So another week goes by. I actually was out of new games for most of the week, since I had to send F.E.A.R. Files back to Gamefly on the grounds that it was a shitty game. I had to pull from my library of games, and work on some older cheevz. I also received a new game at the end of the week! That's right, Halo Wars! w00t! Skip down for the cheevy goodness.

Call of Duty: World at War

Architect-Completed 'Vendetta' on Veteran difficulty-30G

The Sword Is Broken-Completed 'Hard Landing' on Veteran difficulty-30G

Bloody Peleliu-Completed 'Little Resistance' on Veteran difficulty-30G

So I went back to get some cheevz in COD:WAW. What I like about the COD games is that while these cheevs are difficult to get, they aren't impossible. A little perseverance and a little patience goes a long way when hitting the game up for these cheevz. Not to mention, 30 points a pop is well worth it. Tips for these? Just be a badass motherfucker. That's all.

Halo Wars

Meet Sergeant Forge-Completed Mission 1 on any difficulty-10G

This one isn't special, and will come with normal play. I just got into the game, and so far I like it... a lot. It's awesome in all the right ways, and it's Halo! I want to thank my lovely girlfriend for getting me the limited edition, so now my warthogs have little flames painted on them... teh 1337.

So, that's it for this week. Yeah, I know it's not overly informative or interesting but what do you expect for nothing?! Send your checks to ZEBRA NINER at 123 Eff Yoo St El Mirage, AZ and I'll personally write an informative, thorough, and sexually stimulating blog on anything your heart desires. Stay tuned for next week, I've got more Halo Wars on the way and a look at the new Paintball game! w00t!

This Week In Ch33v0z, The Good Night Sweet Prince Edition

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 05:11:00 +0000

The flood gates of cheeviness have reopened. As promised, of course... take that Obama! Anyway, I'm finally finished with Prince of Persia and thank god... that game tested my last nerve. So, without further ado, this week in ch33vz.

To be continued…-Congratulations, the game is complete..the story has only just begun...-80G

Speed Demon-Congratulations, you finished the game in under 12 hours-10G

Precious Time-Congratulations, you know when to stop-10G

From Darkness…Light!-Congratulations, you have reimprisoned Ahriman-30G

Explorer-Congratulations, you have explored the whole land-20G

Saviour of the City of Light-Congratulations, the world has been healed-50G

Traitor's End-Congratulations, you have killed the Alchemist-20G

Climbing to New Heights!-Congratulations, you have found the highest place in the world-10G

Light Seeds Hoarder-Congratulations, you have collected 600 Light Seeds-10G

Now who's the Hunter?-Congratulations, you have killed the Hunter-20G

Speed Kill-Congratulations, you have killed 10 enemies before they spawned-10G

Light Seeds Harvester-Congratulations, you have collected 500 Light Seeds-10G

In Harmony-Congratulations, you have learned to work with Elika-10G

Alchemist Special-Congratulations, you can dominate the Alchemist-20G

Death of a Warrior King-Congratulations, you have killed the Warrior-20G

Throw Master-Congratulations, you have mastered throwing enemies-10G

It's finally over. Not that the game is incredibly long, but the fact that it's not awesome makes it seem much longer. So I manged to slowly trudge my way through the game, and now I'm free of it. I banish thee to Gamefly land!

There are only a few cheevos you can miss in this game. The only two on this list are Precious Time and Speed Demon .

Speed Demon requires that you finish the game within 12 hours, which should be easy for most because you want to finish this game as quickly as possible... because it's crap.

Precious Time can be attained near the end of the game. *spoiler warning* When Elika dies at the end of the game, after a short cut scene you will be holding her in your arms. Just stay still for 60 seconds, get up and do something. The ch33v0 will unlock on it's own.

So that's about it for this game. I managed to finish it, and I'm glad I don't have to look at it again. I will say that there was potential for a good game there, but overall it turned out to rate as crap in my opinion. The one saving grace in this entire game? The cheevo payoff at the end. It's pretty substantial as you can see, so if there is a small desire to see this game to the end.

Oh, speaking of the end of this game... COMPLETE SHIT. The end of the game made everything you do in the game, pointless. IT WAS ALL FOR NOTHING! Crap ending.

That's it for this week. I've had F.E.A.R. Files for two weeks and have yet to crack the seal on the envelope! Hopefully I will delve into that game this week. I'm currently awaiting my next Gamefly shipment, and hopefully crossing my fingers for a chance to play Afro Samurai. Also, next week is the Halo Wars release week, so expect to see something on that in the near future! Cheev it up, my fellow cheev hounds!

This Week In Ch33v0z, Please Sir, Can I Have Some More?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 03:25:00 +0000

Ok, Ok... I know I said there would be change. I know I said we would get out of this bad ch33vonomy. However, like any other good politician I was lying. So, we are still lacking a flow of sweet cheevz. I will be playing more this week, and I've got a few ideas to harvest some cheevz. Now I just need something called "free time"... I know it exists, I just have to find it.

Light Seeds Locator-Congratulations, you have collected 400 Light Seeds-10G

Warrior Special-Congratulations, you have mastered fighting the Warrior-20G

Light Seeds Provider-Congratulations, you have collected 300 Light Seeds-10G

Hunter Special-Congratulations, you can deflect the Hunter's attacks-20G

Death of a Concubine-Congratulations, you have killed the Concubine-20G

This game is a no brainer. Most of these cheevs unlock with normal gameplay. I do want to note two specific cheevz.

Hunter Special and Warrior Special require you to do a QTE(quick time event) and hit a button. Hit the A button + up or down on the Left stick when fighting the Warrior. Hit the Right Trigger to deflect the block of the Hunter to unlock that specific cheev.

So I'm really bored with games right now. Not only that, but I'm super busy. Couple that with the fact that Prince of Persia was a game made for brain dead babies and you've got formula for a lackluster cheevo grab. Don't worry cheev hounds, I will open the floodgates of the cheev dam!

This Week In Ch33v0z, The Great Ch33vpression Edition

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 05:17:00 +0000

Ok, so this week my cheevo count is less than... impressive. That can be attributed to two things:

I've been ridiculously busy with work and home life.
When I DO play, I would rather play Call of Duty:WAW multiplayer

Anyway, now that I'm done making excuses, as you can see the cheevs did not flow. We are in a cheevonomic crisis. The cheevonomy is in peril, but as your Cheevident(it's like president for cheevos), I can promise that I will change that... it's time for a change... and change for the ch33v0.

Concubine Special-Congratulations, you kept your distance-20G

Light Seeds Collector-Congratulations, you have collected 200 Light Seeds-10G

Improviser-Congratulations, you used the environment to your advantage-10G

Deflect Master-Congratulations, you have mastered the art of Deflecting-20G

Good Company-Congratulations, you have an inquisitive mind-10G

So that's it for this week. This game could already by over with, but I'm taking my sweet ass time. It's ok, but don't buy it. EVER.

So that's it for this week. Short and not very sweet. The cheevo depression will end, as I vow to game this week! I'm also getting F.E.A.R. Files from Gamefly, so hopefully I will make some time to pop that game in. This week I plan to finish Prince Of Persia, and hopefully get something good from Gamefly! Until next week People of Ch33v0ria (still working on the name). Cheeveraria? Cheevugauy? Cheevbabwe? I'm open to suggestions.

This Week In Ch33v0z, The Prince Of Persia Edition

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 06:04:00 +0000

Welcome fellow cheev-hounds, you have survived another week of sweet, sweet cheevin'. This week offered a welcome change of pace, I was hit with a new game from my Gamefly queue and bid a fond(not so fond) farewell to a sub-par game. Dig, my friends, dig deep into all the cheevy goodness.

Prince Of Persia

Block Master-Congratulations, you have mastered the art of Blocking-20G

Light Seeds Finder-Congratulations, you have collected 100 Light Seeds-10G

Getting to Know You-Congratulations, you are learning about Elika and her world-10G

Heal the Land-Congratulations, the first part of the world is healed-30G

Compass-Congratulations, Elika can now guide you-10G

Wallrunner-Congratulations, you have learned the basic moves-10G

Where's that Temple?-Congratulations, you have talked to Elika-10G

Saved!-Congratulations, you have unlocked Elika's saving ability-10G

Up against it-Congratulations, you have survived a close encounter-10G

Into the Storm…-Congratulations, you have started the adventure!-10G

So it's a new game! w00t for that! Though, as you might imagine it offers up some problems that I'm going to mention here.

First of all, you can't die. If you fall, you will be magically saved and returned to the last spot you were standing... which is handy if you get easily frustrated (that's me). So not much of a problem, but I can see all the other game nerds getting pissed about it's lack of "hardcoreness"... that's not a word.

The voice acting is crap! This game is supposed to be set in the middle east... Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it's in English, but they don't speak with accents! Well, let me restate that... they DO speak with accents, the same accent that Keanu Reeves has:

Prince- "Hey Elika, we should totally run up that wall over there... that would be frickin' sweet!"

Elika- "Like, totally! Let me just adjust my trendy hair and bare midriff and we'll do this shit!"

Prince- "This is tubular and gnarly, bro!"

Ok, so maybe I embellished a little bit, but you get my point.

The graphics a sweet though, and it's relatively enjoyable.

Finally, it gives up the cheevs like a cheap mexican hooker down at Gua Gua's Cantina. This game spreads them pretty easily, but it's guilty of having very unoriginal cheevo discription and the ulitmate sin of using the same picture for each cheev. Congratulations! Your is gay and so are the ch33v0 pics.

Do I have any tips for this game? Hell no! These cheevs just unlock. I actually got a cheevo for moving the left stick forward... WTF?

That's it folks! Pick up Prince of Persia(POP) if you want some easy cheevos are have kids that get frustrated easily... or if you get frustrated easily and act like a kid, then hit your mom with a taco. Anyway, look for some more POP cheevs next week, and hopefully a new game(hoping for Afro Samurai). Stay tuned, keep cheevin!

Ch33v0 Hunt: The Vow Of Completion

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 16:34:00 +0000

The hunt for lost cheevoz continues! For your viewing pleasure, another small excerpt from my list of unharvested games. Some of these games got buried under the avalanche of fantastic games, and others where enjoyed but not harvested for their full potential. There were other games, that haven't even been played. Some day I will make my way back through them... mark my words, it will be done.

Mirror's Edge- This is a sweet ass game! I love this game, and I've beaten it. Though, I feel I got screwed out of my Test Of Faith cheevo, and I want to milk the rest of the speed run cheevz. This game has NOT been harvested to it's full potential. Be on the lookout for a couple of cheevos coming from this game soon.

Saint's Row- Not only is this one consider a "classic" by many gamers, it's also supposed to be really violent. That combination is gold in my world... gold. Yet I couldn't get into this game, and manged to unlock 2 cheevos. Pathetic right? Well fuck you for judging me! You don't know me!

Command And Conquer 3- I've always loved real time strategy(RTS) games! Of course, I've only played them on a computer and on the PS one. I have fond memories of playing Command And Conquer: Red Alert on my old PlayStation. So I expected to LOVE this game... yet, once I was in the game... there was no snap, no crackle and definitely no pop. Then again, who needs all that when you've got sweet cheevoz callin' ?

Spiderman 3- Well, what can I say? Swinging around NYC on a web is tons of fun, but the combat... total rubbish. You see what happened there? I used the word "rubbish", that's how much rubbish is in this game. GOD DAMN IT, I'm not even British!

Perfect Dark Zero- Yeah, it's older than shit... but that make this even worse. You see... I haven't even unlocked ONE SINGLE CHEEVO from this game. To be honest, it's a horrible game... just horrible. Anyone want to boost multiplayer cheevos?

Yet another short list of games that I own, which I haven't played enough of... or at all. Yes, it's sad and pathetic, but so is your mom. Keep your eyes peeled, I may play one of these games and unlock some sweet ass cheevs... or maybe not.

This Week In Ch33v0z, The Brothers In Arms: Far Cry 2 Edition

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 16:26:00 +0000

So another week has passed us by. Honestly, I haven't been gaming all that much this week. I got my sweet cheevos over last weekend and I've been coasting off that high all week. I was able to get back to Far Cry, and finish up the cheev-fountain that is Brother In Arms: HH. So, get ready for the flow of ch33vz... let them rain down upon your face. That's right, take it all... bitch.

Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway

Focused-Played the game on seven different days-25G

Abandon All Hope-Completed Chapter Ten: "Tooth and Nail"-150G

Situation FUBAR-Completed Chapter Nine: "Hell's Highway"-50G

Weather the Storm-Completed Chapter Eight : "Black Friday"-45G

Tons of Fun-Killed 5 enemies with the hull of a tank-10G

Action Camera Hero-Triggered 25 Action Camera moments-40G

Anti-Tank-Destroyed an enemy tank-10G

Recon Bronze-Found six Recon Points-15G

Through the Looking Glass-Completed Chapter Seven : "The Rabbit Hole"-40G

Hellfire-Completed Chapter Six : "Baptism of Fire"-35G

Calling in the Cavalry-Completed Chapter Five : "Operation Garden"-30G

The Kloosterdreef Incident-Completed Chapter Four : "Written in Stone"-25G

Action Camera Veteran-Triggered 10 Action Camera moments-20G

Objective SNAFU-Completed Chapter Three : "The Five Oh Sink"-20G

Bunker Buster-Destroyed a sandbag emplacement with a bazooka team-10G

So I managed to buckle down and finish off Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway over the weekend. It's a mediocre game at best. The story is confusing, and the gameplay is a tad repetitive. Also, babysitting your stupid AI gets to be tedious and time consuming. However, when I look back at the experience it was relatively enjoyable. The best part of it all? The cheevz flowed like wine! This game is CHEEVTASTIC! So here is the breakdown:

Focused isn't a hard one to get, but it requires that you play the game for 7 days in a row. Who the fuck wants to do that? There is a site that explains a clever way for you to get this cheevo, with a couple of presses of a button. Click here to check it out.

Anti-Tank and Tons Of Fun aren't hard to get, but they are secret cheevz. Have at it.

Far Cry 2

Dawa ya moto ni moto-Broke the ceasefire and reignited the conflict-20G

I'm so sick of this game. I just want it to be over. I don't think I'm going to keep it for much longer. I'm actually getting angry just thinking about it.

So that's it! I'm getting a new game from Gamefly, which as of press time is: UNKNOWN. Hopefully I'll see some Prince of Persia or Tombraider. Tune in next week, same cheev-time, same cheev-channel! POW! BANG! ZIP!

This Week In Ch33v0z, The Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway Edition

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 17:16:00 +0000

Another week has passed, with that new week brings new cheevoz. For most of the week I played Call of Duty: World at War Multiplayer... which netted me ZERO ch33v0z. I almost considered making this post about how I didn't get one damn cheevo. However, I decided to put a little time in Brothers In Arms: Hells Highway (since it's been sitting on my shelf for over a week). This game... well... let's just say the cheevos flow pretty well. That's all I have for positive comments on the game. Check out the cheevz below!

Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway

Touchdown-Completed Chapter Two : "Operation Market"-15G

Assault!-Ordered your squad to Assault the enemy 5 times-10G

The Four F's-Used your squad to Suppress and Flank the enemy 10 times-10G

Squad Kills-Helped your squad earn 20 kills-10G

Dig In!-Killed 25 enemies while using cover-45G

Action Camera Blast-Triggered an Action Camera moment with explosives-10G

Enemy Arms-Captured and fired a German MG42-10G

First Recon-Found a Recon Point-10G

Kilroy was here!-Found a Kilroy-10G

Action Camera Sniper-Triggered an Action Camera moment with fire arms-10G

Basic Training-Ordered your squad to fall-in, move and attack-10G

A Lethal Portent-Completed Chapter One : "Lost"-10G

Suppressive Fire-Suppressed an enemy-10G

Ok. Another WWII shooter. The only difference is that you have to babysit a number of stupid squads. The entire game is based around suppressing the enemy with one squad, while flanking them with the other. The graphics look good sometimes, and awful at other times. I will say that the game hands out the cheevos pretty well, so if you are looking for a quick cheevo boost this game will fit the bill. I managed to rack up these 13 cheevz in about 30 minutes of play time. All of the cheevoz unlock as you play, nothing special is required for these here. The action camera shots require specific kills to be preformed... and they look pretty sweet too.

So that's it for this week. Hopefully I can drag out a few more from Far Cry 2 and see if I can get that sent back to Hell where it belongs. I will also be making a list of old games that I'm going back to farm. See which ones I'm gunning for in a later post! Keep cheevin' strong!

This Week In Ch33v0z, The Call Of Duty: Far Cry 2 Edition

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 02:36:00 +0000

This has been a slow week in the world of ch33v0z. I've been working at Far Cry 2, but the more I play the more I realize it's total crap. I also had a chance to hit up some co-op in Call of Duty: World at War(finally)! Read on for the scoop on this weeks cheevo haul.

Call of Duty: World At War

Get Your Left Foot Wet-Got online, met some people, and kicked butt in a Campaign Co-Op game session-30G

Blue Ribbon-Finished in 1st place in a Competitive Co-Op match-25G

Snake in the Grass-Took out a Japanese soldier camouflaged and hiding in the grass-15G

Get Your Right Foot Wet-Got online, met some people, and kicked butt in a Competitive Co-Op game session-30G

Weapon of Mass Destruction-You called in a naval bombardment that took out at least 4 Japanese soldiers-15G

This game is a lot of fun. I finally got involved in the online multiplayer, both versus and co-op. Let me tell you, it's a bunch of fun. There is nothing like playing a co-op game with four of your friends! I will note that not all chapters of the campaign are available in co-op, which is a fucking crock. You also can't unlock the cheevos for beating each level while playing in co-op. Of course, there are a couple of cheevz that are exclusive to co-op... so it's worth playing a couple of rounds. I'd like to thank Mike53414, sparkla123, NatUralB187, and GLOBEL007 for helping get a few co-op cheevz.

Weapon of Mass Destruction can be obtained in the very first level of the campaign. Use the naval bombardment to take out the first machine gun nest on the beach. That should get you the cheevo, and if you don't get it there you'll have other opportunities to snag this in the same level.

Far Cry 2

Down but not out-Escaped to Bowa-Seko - the Southern Territory-10G

Stickin' it to the man-Killed a Faction Captain in Leboa-Sako - the Northern Territory-10G

This game is very cheap with handing out the sweet cheevoz. Not only that, but the voice acting is total crap and the game is not much fun. Some aspects are great, but overall it's pretty crappy. I keep contemplating sending this game back, but I'm hoping to squeeze a few more ch33v0z out of this before I toss it aside. I'm going to give it another week.

So that's it. Short and sweet this week. I've recently received Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway, so I'll be getting my cheevz in on that. I've also created a list of older games that I'd like to go back and farm for some sweet cheevz, so be on the lookout for that special post. Until next week, cheev on brothers.

This Week In Ch33v0z, The FarCry Of Solace Edition

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 00:08:00 +0000

Another week has passed, and I've managed to put up a post! w00t! Let's make a habit of sticking with a schedule! This week finds some more awesome Fallout cheevz, a few new ones in Far Cry and the fond (not so fond) farewell to Quantum Of Solace. Ok, on to the cheevz.

Quantum Of Solace

I admire your courage-Earn over 1,000 in credits-15G

ELLIPSIS-In Airport, save the Skyfleet servers without breaking stealth-15G

For Your Eyes Only-Disable 10 cameras-20G

He's coming fast!-In Sink Hole, kill the helicopter pilot while the gunners are still alive-15G

We have people everywhere-In Siena, shoot all seven satellite dishes on the rooftops-15G

Allow me-In Venice, defeat Gettler with one shot-15G

You just need one shot-In Eco Hotel, kill the driver of the car-15G

Half-monk, half-hitman-Inside the Science Center, shoot down all the lights in the main hall-15G

I miss the Cold War-Outside Science Center, defeat each sniper guard with one shot-15G

Any thug can kill-In Casino Royale, reach the spa room without alerting or attacking the guards-15G

I'm the money-In Train, only use the P99 while on the freight train-15G

Octopussy-Complete game on New Recruit-20G

Tomorrow Never Dies-Complete game on Field Operative-25G

Quantum of Solace-Complete Eco Hotel-15G

Again, not having a great time with the game. Also, the story is so terrible that I wasn't paying attention and when the game ended, I was surprised. So that was a pleasant surprise. Unfortunately, just playing through the single player didn't net a lot of cheevoz. So I went back and picked up a few of the easy 15 pointers. Here are the ones you need to know about.

Octopussy, ok no tips here... but it's funny. I mean, you get the Octopussy cheevo for beating the game on easy! hahaha! Octopussies!

I Admire Your Courage is the worst one, becaue you have to play online matches against other people. Why is that bad? Try the online... it's crap. Anyway, you'll receive money for each match depending on how well you do. This should take anywhere from 5-15 matches. Get on it.

He's Coming Fast! Those words have been uttered many a time in my life... by chicks... that I'm currently banging. I digress, this cheevo is picked up in the Sink Hole level. There are a few choppers, and it will be clear which one you have to get. Towards the end of the level there will be a gunship with a gunner crew attacking you and pinning down your NPC partner. Just pick up the sniper rifle that they provide you, and shoot the pilot without killing any of the gunners. Play on easy or you'll be doing this one all day.

Fallout 3

The Superhuman Gambit-Completed "The Superhuman Gambit"-20G

Reilly's Rangers-Completed "Reilly's Rangers"-20G

The Wasteland Survival Guide-Completed "The Wasteland Survival Guide"-20G

Slayer of Beasts-Killed 300 creatures-20G

Harbinger of War-Reached Level 14 with Bad Karma-20G

Tranquility Lane-Completed "Tranquility Lane"-20G

Scientific Pursuits-Completed "Scientific Pursuits"-20G

Strictly Business-Completed "Strictly Business"-20G

Big Trouble in Big Town-Completed "Big Trouble in Big Town"-20G

Rescue from Paradise-Completed "Rescue from Paradise"-20G

Stealing Independence-Completed "Stealing Independence"-20G

Keys are for Cowards-Picked 50 locks-20G

Tenpenny Tower-Completed "Tenpenny Tower"-20G

Blood Ties-Completed "Blood Ties"-20G

Reaver-Reached Level 8 with Bad Karma-10G

Again, not much can be said in the way of tips for this game... since you get cheevos for completing quests. Though, I would like to point out that I'm an evil bastard, and I love every minute of it. Also, since it's the new year I would like to declair this game my Game of the Year. That's right, no fan fare, no big post about it. Just there. Booyah.

Far Cry 2

Upgraded Player-Upgraded one class 3 times (Ranked Match)-20G

Lent a hand-Completed a Buddy side quest-20G

Weapon Specialist-Purchased the manuals and acquired the bandolier for one weapon-10G

Good night sweet prince-Comforted a Buddy and eased his passing-40G

Bagman-Delivered stamped travel documents to the Underground in exchange for medicine-10G

Playing both sides...-Switched sides in Leboa-Sako - the Northern Territory-20G

The best laid plans-Worked with a Buddy to subvert a mission offered by a faction-10G

...into the fire.-Saved a Buddy from a mortal wound-30G

Supply...-Unlocked new weapons by hitting a Convoy-10G

Lineman-Completed a Mission intercepted from a cellular tower signal-20G

My patience is wearing quite thin with this game. It's complete crap. Not the graphics or the gameplay, but the story and the constant fucking driving! I fucking hate driving from place to place with nothing to keep you company but the GPS unit that doesn't even fucking work right! Not to mention, every single fucking intersection has a guard post! Not only that, but they shoot on sight! They shoot before they can even see me! Also, if I have to get out of my car and kill all the motherfuckers, I don't want a new group of assholes in the SAME SPOT 5 minutes later. I find this to be the most annoying thing in the game. AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Anyway, the cheevs do not flow very well from this game. Which is not a good thing for me. So here are a couple that I felt were stupid and should be explained.

Upgraded Player refers to the online multiplayer portion of the game. You'll play the game, and depending on how well you play you'll get experience that is put towards your level. You'll also receive diamonds that you can use to purchase weapons packages. Each weapons package has three slots for diamonds, once you spend a diamond to fill each slot you've completed that package and will get this cheevo.

Goodnight Sweet Prince came about by accident. You'll receive a buddy rescue from time to time during the game. When you become overwhelmed by the enemy and lose all of your health, your buddy will come and save you at that spot. It's kind of like a second chance. If your buddy takes too much damage, he will go down and you'll have to pick him up. If you leave him on the ground for an extended period of time, or he gets downed 3 times... he won't make it. You'll have to attend to him and either ease his passing with an overdose of morphine or a bullet to the brain. Don't worry, he'll ask for it... but don't save your game because once he's dead... he's fucking dead forever.

So that's it for this week! I've complete Quantum of Solace and sent that bad boy packing! Next up from Gamefly? Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway. I've heard it hands the cheevz out pretty readily, but is a horrible game. We will see. I'll also be working on Far Cry 2, until I decide it's too annoying and send that back as well. That's it for this week, kids. And remember, keep your eyes open, the cheevos are everywhere!

This Week In Ch33v0z, The December Round Up Edition

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 07:12:00 +0000

I've neglected you, yes you... my readers. I've been juicin' the cheevz and ridin' the wave of cheevo flavor, and I've not stopped... stopped to tell you all that I've accomplished. Please accept my apologies and revel in the goodness of the cheevz! This post will be all inclusive, and will bring you up to speed on all that is the cheevy goodness of these past weeks of gaming.

Dead Space

One Gun-Beat the game using only the Plasma Cutter-40G

Survivor-Complete the game on any difficulty setting-50G

Exodus-Complete Chapter 12 on any difficulty setting-20G

Mindless Prey-Kill the Hive Mind-30G

Legend Teller-Collect 150 Logs-40G

Full Arsenal-Own every Weapon in the game-30G

Betrayed-Complete Chapter 11 on any difficulty setting-20G

There's Always Peng!-Find the Peng Treasure-15G

Keeper of the Faith-Complete Chapter 10 on any difficulty setting-20G

Armstrong-Shoot 50 objects using Kinesis-10G

Wreckage-Complete Chapter 9 on any difficulty setting-20G

Pack Rat-Store 25 Items in the Safe-10G

Big Spender-Spend 300,000 credits at the store-10G

Strange Transmissions-Complete Chapter 8 on any difficulty setting-20G

Get off my ship!-Kill the Slug Boss-15G

Finally, the journey is over. Yes, I finished this game a while ago, but with the holidays and personal life getting in the way, I've only now been able to post my cheev haul. It's a good game, I'll give it that. It's scary in all the right ways, but the back and forth messenger missions become irritating VERY quickly.

Pack Rat is easy enough, depending on the difficulty you are playing. Sooner or later, you'll gather up so much crap that you can't carry it all. Just transfer all your stuff into storage(at least 25 pieces), and the cheevo will unlock.

There's Always PENG! is easy, just look over the railing where you initially land. You'll see a small statue over the railing. Use your kinesis to bring it up to you, boom cheevo unlocked. Here is a shitty video, that might help.

The rest are either self explanatory or come with beating the game. You can also get some of the other cheevos by hitting the predetermined number with each weapon. I opted not to go back because I'm so flooded with games that those cheevos were not worth it to me.

Quantum of Solace

Diamonds Are Forever-Hack all locks-20G

The Spy Who Loved Me-Complete Barge and Venice-15G

Live and Let Die-Takedown 50 enemies-20G

Moonraker-Collect 30 cell phones-20G

I've got a little itch-In Barge, save Vesper in under two minutes-15G

Casino Royale-Complete Montenegro Train, Casino Royale, and Casino Poison-15G

On Her Majesty's Secret Service-Complete Science Center Exterior, Interior, and Airport-15G

The Living Daylights-Complete Shanty Town and Construction Site-15G

From Russia With Love-Complete Siena, Opera House, and Sink Hole-15G

The Man with the Golden Gun-Defeat 50 enemies with one shot each-20G

Opera isn't for everyone-In Opera House, move through backstage without alerting the guards-15G

A View to a Kill-Complete White's Estate-15G

Time to face gravity-In White’s Estate, open the cellar door with one shot-15G

Licence to Kill-Defeat an enemy with one shot-10G

Gamefly has provided yet another new game for me to try. Let me say, I'm glad I rented this game. No, I have not finished it yet, but it's not that fun. The names of the cheevos are cool because they harken back to old Bond movies, but otherwise they don't mean anything... which annoys me. Anyway, the story is lacking and it's not much fun. Also, quick time events can lick my balls. There, I said it. On to the cheevos.

License To Kill and The Man With The Golden Gun... headshots, headshots, headshots.

Time To Face Gravity is attained in the first level. You'll reach a mansion, and the left side of the house in a balcony is a man with a gun. Hit him with a headshot, and he'll fall through the cellar door below him.

The rest happen with gameplay.

Arkadian Warriors

Gold Miser-Accumulate 500000 Gold-25G

Team Work-Complete 2 quests in one continuous co-op session-10G

Geared Up-Equip a full suit of armor: Helmet, Armor and Weapon-5G

Dungeon Delver-Destroy all monsters in a dungeon level-5G

Morph to Kill-Defeat 10 monsters while in Alter Ego form-5G

New Arcade game! w00t! This is a fun little game if you are into dungeon crawling, looting, and leveling up a character. It's top down visual style is annoying to me, but some may like it.

I have to thank my fellow cheevin' buddy Mike53414 for hooking me up with 500,000 gold for the Gold Miser cheevo and for breakin' it down old school to get the Team Work cheevo.

It's a fun little game, that happened to be on sale. Good times.

Fable II

The Executioner-Are achievements really worth the lives of so many innocents? Probably-10G

The Gambler-A Hero won 500 gold at a tavern game in one sitting. Time for more gambling!-10G

The Property Magnate-A property was sold for twice its original value. Now that's good business-10G

The Hoarder-You, or a friend, found every single silver key in Albion. Some would call you obsessive. Not us-25G

The Completionist-You, or a friend, have gathered every expression, pet trick and ability available. Such dedication-50G

w00t!!!!! Oh my damn! 1000 cheevo points! Full completion! I'd like to give a shout out and thanks to slappypyne for hooking me up with The Completionist and The Hoarder cheevos. He's a cool guy, and I might add, extends the offer to any who ask... ask politely of course.

The Property Magnate is an easy one to get. Buy the cheapest house you can find, and put the nicest stuff in the house. Buy all luxury items from the furniture store. Once you've replaced all the items in the home, sell it. You'll get the cheevo in no time.

The Gambler requires you to WIN 500 gold in one sitting. However, you must have played ALL THREE game types prior to this. So, give them all a go then play the one you are best at. My cheevo didn't unlock until after I cashed out and quit the card game, so don't be discouraged if it doesn't unlock right away.

Left 4 Dead

Ground Cover-Save another Survivor from a Special Infected while on the ground-30G

Grim Reaper-Survive the Blood Harvest campaign-15G

Field Medic-Heal 25 Survivors with a first aid kit-20G

Helping Hand-Revive 50 incapacitated Survivors-20G

Clean Kill-Shove a Boomer and then kill him without him splashing on anyone-10G

Dead Baron-Survive the Dead Air campaign-15G

Pharm-assist-Give pain pills to 10 Survivors-20G

Witch Hunter-Kill a Witch without any Survivor taking damage from her-20G

Double Jump-Pounce two different Survivors in one life as a Hunter-20G

Toll Collector-Survive the Death Toll campaign-15G

Stand Tall-Survive a campaign without being incapacitated-20G

Do Not Disturb-Sneak past all Witches in a campaign without disturbing one-20G

Chain Smoker-Constrict two Survivors in one life as a Smoker-20G

Burn the Witch-Light a Witch with a Molotov-10G

Spinal Tap-Kill an Infected with a single blow from behind-10G

101 Cremations-Set 101 Infected on fire-20G

Jump Shot-Headshot a Hunter while he's leaping-20G

Dead Giveaway-Heal a fellow Survivor when your own health is below 10-10G

Hero Closet-Rescue a Survivor trapped in a closet-10G

Back 2 Help-Leave a safe room to save an incapped teammate and bring them back safely-20g

Hunter Punter-Shove a Hunter off of a pinned and helpless Survivor-10G

My Bodyguard-Protect any Survivor from an attacking Infected 50 times-15G

Towering Inferno-Light a Tank with a Molotov-10G

No Smoking Section-Kill 10 Smokers as they are pulling helpless Survivors-15G

What can I say about this game? I love it. Killing zombies is something every red-blooded American enjoys.

Burn The Witch and Towering Inferno, while both are almost assured suicide to attempt, it's a lot of fun. Just get out a molotov cocktail, and toss it on either the Witch or the Tank and you'll unlock these cheevos (and a sound beating).

Witch Hunter, Jump Shot, and Ground Cover are more luck and opportunity than anything else.

When attempting Clean Kill, make sure you melee the boomer and move far back enough so that he doesn't explode on you or your team when you shoot him.

I would also like to note that I'm currently trying to get the Cr0wned cheevo, and I've been getting my ass handed to me like nobody's business. I'll keep trying, you'll see... I'll do it!

Far Cry 2

Out of the frying pan...-Got rescued by a Buddy-20G

Making friends-Saved a Buddy from captivity-10G

On the run-Escaped the Town-10G

I've only touched on this game. I haven't given this game a fair shake, but that being said... the story is crap. I understand it's a video game, but I don't get how a person that just kidnapped you and threatened your life would hand you a gun and some grenades and tell you to get to work.

Example:

Villan: "You cost me a lot of money... you killed a lot of my men... You are lucky you aren't dead yet! Here, take this fully automatic AK-47 and these live fragmentation grenades. You work for me now! Let me just turn my back on you, so that I might elaborate on the dangerous job I'm forcing you to do!"

Your character, "Yes massah!".

NO. It doesn't work that way! Pssh, whatever. Like I said, I haven't given the game much time, and I'm not sure how much I want to play it. The controls are crap and so is the AI. Anyway, just play the game for a while and you'll get these three... hell, I should get the full 1000 for even screwing with this game.

Dorito's Dash Of Destruction

Easy 200 cheevo points and it's a FREE game! Click here for the recap and the details!

That's it folks. I'm trying to get caught up on all the sweet ass cheev- news! Have a Happy New Year, with many cheevos to come.

Ultra Ch33v0 Grab! Dash Of Destruction!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 03:42:00 +0000

Dash Of Destruction is the ultimate cheev grab. It's free, all the cheevos can be unlocked in about 20 minutes, and it's kind of fun! You can't beat that, you just can't!

It's my duty, to all of you cheev-hounds, to pass the word on about this awesome little cheevo bump. I should also mention that this game is free thanks to the fine folks at Doritos, where all evil tortilla chips go after they die.

Dash Of Destruction

Extinction Event-Won a local multiplayer game-10G

Tricked Out-Tricked out your ride with fuzzy dice!-10G

Speed of Light-Obtained Mike's Nitrous Kit for Speed Junkies-20G

Employee of the Month-Made 40 deliveries-15G

Supercharged-Obtained Mike's Street-Pro Supercharger-25G

Speed of Sound-Obtained Mike's Nitrous Kit for Beginners-20G

A New Hope-Finally replaced those tiny, ineffectual arms-20G

Tough as Nails-Obtained Borland Bionics T-Rex All-Weather Body Armor-15G

Hungry Hungry Dino-Ate 40 trucks-15G

Adrenaline Boost-Obtained Borland Bionics Professional Grade Leg Enhancement-15G

Mike's Protégé-Beat any level in a single player campaign-25G

DestructoMatic Rex-Destroyed all buildings in a single campaign map-10G

It couldn't be much easier to get all 200 cheevo points... well, it could be easier if they didn't require you to play to get the cheevos... I digress. Just play the game, and that's it... booyah.

DestructoMatic Rex should be done in the first level. Run around the map, knock over all the buildings.

Extinction Event requires an explanation. This game does NOT have online multiplayer, therefore you must get this cheevo in LOCAL multiplayer. Use a second controller (guitar controller will work too) and sign in one of your other accounts. Set the goal number low, and you'll have this cheevo in no time.

Thanks Doritos, your tasty chips are almost as good as these sweet ch33v0z! Click HERE to add this game to your download queue!

This Week In Ch33v0z, Not Really This Week Edition A.K.A. The Damn That's A Lot O' Ch33v0z Edition

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 20:09:00 +0000

What a month! I can barely keep up with my games let alone my cheevin' blog(not to mention Turkey Day)! I do feel a certain duty to all the cheevoholics out there, and I want to bring my sweet cheevoz to light. This is last weeks cheev haul, and it's a big 'un. Get ready to receive my load... er... wait, take my load? No, that's not it... um... read my blog.

Star Wars: Force Unleashed

Apprentice-Complete Game - Apprentice difficulty. Do not change the difficulty after the game has started-75G

Sith Warrior-Complete Game - Sith Warrior difficulty. Do not change the difficulty after the game has started-100G

Redemption-Complete Game - Light Side-20G

PROXY Won't Be Happy-Destroy 35 droids-15G

The Harder They Fall-Defeat 10 AT-STs or AT-KTs-15G

Destroyer-Complete Level - Raxus Prime, act 2-10G

I finally finished up this game. Not that it was bad, but a game of this caliber during a season with so many top notch games really didn't help with my opinion. I will say that the story was pretty good, and for fans of Star Wars, it's worth a play just for the extra additions to the Star Wars Universe.

These cheevs were pretty standard, though getting past some of the later points of the game were a bit of a challenge. Particularly the level in which the Destroyer cheevo is attained. Getting that damn ship down was a chore, until I realized I was doing everything wrong. Quick tip: Do everything the on screen queues tell you to... everything.

Call Of Duty: World At War

Get Your Hands Dirty-Completed 'Semper Fi' on Veteran difficulty-30G

Hardened War Hero-Completed the game on Hardened or Veteran difficulty and won on all fronts-100G

War Hero-Completed the game on any difficulty and won on all fronts-40G

Stabbed in the Heart-Took the fight deep into the Fatherland-20G

The Last Stand-Defeated the Japanese on their own soil in Okinawa-20G

Guardian Angel-You saved Sergeant Roebuck's life-10G

Mortar-dom-Your usage of improvised mortars devasted the enemy-10G

Shot in the Dark-Terrorized the enemy in the pitch dark of the Berlin underground-10G

Stormed Peleliu-Took the fight directly to the Japanese on the island of Peleliu-15G

Purple Heart-Awarded for demonstrating courage in the face of adversity-5G

No Safe Place-With the flamethrower, you've shown the enemy that no hiding place is safe-15G

Close Shave-Encountered a Banzai attack and lived to tell the tale-10G

Carlson's Raiders-Surprised the Japanese with a daring raid of the Makin Atoll-10G

Saved Private Ryan-Saved a soldier from a terrible death-10G

I finally cracked into this game, and I've got to say... meh. It's fun, and it's a pretty solid shooter, but I've just had enough of World War II in my gaming. It's enough. I'm burned out. Anyway, the campaign is pretty short and doesn't hand out quite enough cheevz. I am currently working my way through the campaign on veteran difficulty, so look for more hefty cheevoz in the coming weeks.

Saved Private Ryan is unlocked in the first few minutes of the very first level. A flaming Japanese soldier gets a hold of your comrade PVT. Ryan and a quick shot will save your buddy and net you a sweet cheev!

Close Shave is attained by clicking the right stick when attacked by a Jap soldier. Wait for him to strike with his bayonet and click the right stick. You'll stab that fucker right in the neck. It's pretty sweet.

The rest are pretty boring and pretty standard. Nothing to see here people, keep moving. I will say that I beat the entire campaign and was only awarded a few hundred points, very tight with the cheevz.

Mirror's Edge

Head over heels-Complete a chapter of the game without ending up in a heavy landing-20G

Pacifist-Complete a chapter without firing a gun-15G

Back on the job-Complete the Tutorial-10G

I love this game. If you haven't tried this game, download the demo from Xbox live. It's such a great game, and it's so different. Think first person puzzle/platformer. The controls feel great, the visuals are stunning, and it's just plain fun. If you don't love this game, there is something seriously wrong with YOU.

Sweet Goodbye is a little confusing. You'll trigger a sweet animation by doing a certain move. Step 1. Run towards an enemy, step 2. Hit LB and RB in quick succession, and finally step 3 hit the right trigger. Voila.

Hey its-a-me! Besides being a sweet ass homage to Mario, its' a fun move to execute. Jump towards an enemy, and hit right trigger just before making contact. You'll fuck that bastard up and score a sweet cheev.

Vrooom! is easy and is a nice amount of cheevz. You can do this on the VERY FIRST LEVEL. Check the video.

Damn son. I've been fighting with this game all month. There are SO many releases out, it's hard to even want to play some of these games. Not to say that Dead Space is bad, it's just no Gears of War 2. Well, I finally got a chance to put some time into this game, and I really like it. It's scary, pretty, and fun to play. Besides, who doesn't like to dismember disgusting alien/human monsters with industrial space tools?

All of these cheevz come with just playing the game. I will give a quick tip about the Story Teller cheevo. Each communication that you receive counts as a log, along with the special logs you'll pick up in the world. So this one isn't that hard, and don't kill yourself trying to find them all because you'll hit 75 logs found before you know it.

Left 4 Dead

Tongue Twister-Free yourself from a Smoker who has grabbed you with his tongue-20G

Mercy Killer-Survive the No Mercy campaign-15G

No-one Left Behind-Beat a campaign with all 4 Survivors-20G

Dead Stop-Punch a Hunter as he is pouncing-10G

Brain Salad-Make 100 headshot kills-15G

Tankbusters-Kill a Tank without it dealing any damage to a Survivor-20G

Drag and Drop-Rescue a Survivor from a Smoker's tongue before he takes damage-20G

Pyrotechnician-Blow up 20 Infected in a single explosion-20G

Blind Luck-You or another Survivor take no damage after being vomited on by a Boomer-20G

In LOVE with this game. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this game. It's a ton of fun, and great if you are into co-op (which I am). Many of the cheevz are a challeng, but not impossible. Most can be attained on any difficulty level (that means easy for you cheev hounds).

Blind Luck really is that, luck. You can increase your odds of getting this cheevo by playing with 3 computer controlled AI. Get sprayed by a boomer, and back yourself into bathroom or other small room with no other entrances. Your computer controlled buddies will jam up the entrance and take out the horde.

Pyrotechnician is pretty simple as well. Just grab a pipe bomb and hang on to it until you or a teammate gets hosed down by a boomer. The horde will start to swarm in, toss the pipe bomb and watch them gather around.

That's it. I'm running behind on the sweet cheev reporting and there are tons more to post, so read it, love it, live it. Cheev on, brothers.

Special Gears Of War 2 Ch33v0 Recap!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 17:07:00 +0000

As most gamers know, this month has been a glut of games. More releases over the past 4 weeks than we've had all year. Game publishers trying to grab your cash, and in my case... succeeding. So, while it's put a dent in my wallet, it's also put a dent into my free time, A.K.A. blogging time. So, without further ado, the cheevoz of Gears of War 2.

Gears Of War 2

I want to begin by saying that this game is the bomb. It's not only the bomb, it's the bombizzle. The shizznat. The dookie chute... right? Anyway, it's great and I'm way into it. Horde Mode, ftw.

So it's all pretty straight forward, however Gears 2 has this cool little feature that shows you your progress towards specific cheevoz. For instance, when you hit 4,000 kills, it will let you know that you are 4,000/100,000 kills for the Seriously 2.0 cheevo. Good times.

Variety Is The Spice Of Death requires that you get a kill with every weapon in the game. There are 15 different weapons, click here for a list.

Kick 'Em While They're Down is similar to VITSOD, but you must perform every different execution with a weapon. This will require your enemy to be downed (on his hands and knees). The best way to get an enemy to drop down, is to use your lancer rifle to shoot their knees. They will fall, and you can use your weapon to perform a special execution. Click here for a list of all executions.

Dirty, Dirty Horde and Hoard The Horde are pretty difficult, but it's attainable with help. Get into a co-op game (the more people the better) and play up to wave 50 on one map! Turn the difficulty to casual(still fucking hard) and it should be a challenge, but doable.

Everything else is pretty self explanitory, now get out there and chainsaw some bitches.

So that's as far as it goes for Gears of War 2. I'm still pounding away at the cheevz, and I'll be working on a new post that will encompass all my cheevy goodness of the last two weeks! Be on the lookout for the normal weekly post!

This Week In Ch33v0z, The Fallout Unleashed Edition

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 19:06:00 +0000

Cheevos for one, cheevos for all. This week has brought some cheevoz, as I grind my way through games. Star Wars has paid out, but the points yield low. Not to mention Fallout 3 is a fantastic game, with tons of things to do... but the cheevos are SO tight. Let's see what this week brought!

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

Rebel Leader-Defeat 500 Imperials-15G

Infestation-Complete Level - Felucia, act 2-10G

Legend-Earn 600,000 Force Points on a single level-25G

The Bigger They Are-Defeat 6 Rancors-15G

Skyhook-Complete Level - Kashyyyk, act 2-10G

Expert-Earn 500,000 Force Points on a single level-10G

Vapor Room-Complete Level - Cloud City, act 2-10G

Empirical-Complete Level - Empirical, act 2-10G

Cannon Fodder-Defeat 150 Stormtroopers-15G

Force Grip Mastery-Defeat 500 enemies with Force Grip-20G

Jedi Hunt-Complete Level - Felucia, act 1-10G

Shocked-Defeat 100 enemies with Force Lightning-5G

Junkyard-Complete Level - Raxus Prime, act 1-10G

Bully-Defeat 25 Ugnaughts or Jawas-15G

I have one gripe with the cheevoz for this game. They all involve completing chapters or doing something a certain number of times. No real skill required, just play the game, beat the levels and kill stuff.

Oh, and 5 point cheevoz suck.

Fallout 3

Galaxy News Radio-Completed "Galaxy News Radio"-20G

Psychotic Prankster-Placed a grenade or mine while pickpocketing-10G

Following in His Footsteps-Completed "Following in His Footsteps"-20G

This game is my new crack. I'm totally engrossed in the world of the game, the characters and stories within that world and the gameplay. It's fun and I really love to play. Most of the cheevos are tied to missions, each which can be relatively long.

So you may have noticed this post is a bit late. Well, that's due to Gears of War 2, which took up most of my weekend. Be on the lookout for next weeks Gears of War extravaganza of cheevos!

This Week In Ch33v0z, The Fallout Star Wars Fable Edtion (PT 1)

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 23:01:00 +0000

Ch33v0z, ch33v0z, ch33v0z! It's time for more cheevoz! That's right, this week has been a killer for me and my game schedule. Fable II, Dead Space, Star Wars: TFU, and Fallout 3! I'm buried under a ton of games, with Gears 2, COD5, and many others on the near horizon. This week was an avalanche of cheevos, so I opted to make a special Fable II cheevo post, click here to enjoy it's cheeviness.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

Insurrection-Complete Level - TIE Factory, act 1-10G

Skilled-Earn 250,000 Force Points on a single level-5G

Invasion-Complete Level - Prologue-10G

Sith Lord Frenzy-Get a Frenzy x12 bonus-15G

Gripped-Defeat 100 enemies with Force Grip-5G

Bossk-Defeat 200 Wookiees on Kashyyyk Prologue-15G

Sith Frenzy-Get a Frenzy x8 bonus-10G

Frenzy-Get a Frenzy x4 bonus-5G

Worst Day-Shift Manager Ever-Kill 12 Stormtroopers as Vader during the Prologue-10G

Star Wars... who couldn't like that? This is the first time you can use your force powers in a way that makes you feel like a badass (and no, not like this guy). This is a pretty fun game with a really great Star Wars story. I'm digging it so far.

Worst Day-Shift Manager is one pesky secret cheevoz. Just kill 12 stormtroopers in the very first part of the game, when you play as Vader. It's easy, because they are everywhere.

Bossk is another one that's done in the prologue. It's easy, but it takes about 10 minutes. You'll arrive at a section with 3 bridges, forming a triangle. The wookies will endlessly spawn here. Just kill them as they fly towards you, you can also unlock other cheevoz by using specific force powers... for instance the Gripped cheevo.

Fallout 3

Escape!-Completed "Escape!"-20G

The G.O.A.T. Whisperer-Took the G.O.A.T.-10G

Vault 101 Citizenship Award-Got the Pip-Boy 3000-10G

A new game! Fallout 3! I'm getting deeper and deeper into the world of RPG games. This one is bigger and more violent than Fable, and so far I'm enjoying it. I would also add that I'm playing an evil bastard in this game, and I'm really liking that. Rob, steal, kill... my new motto.

So far all the cheevz I've unlocked are related to the story. In fact, most cheevoz are story related. Basically you'll unlock one for each of the larger story quests.

Fable II

Oh, right... there were WAY too many to post on this one! Check out the special Fable II post, here!

So that's it for this week! Look for more Fallout 3 cheevz, some progress on Star Wars, hopefully those last couple in Fable II and maybe a new game! Don't forget, Gears of War 2 in just 7 days! w00t!

This Week In Ch33v0z, The Special Extended Fable 2 Edition

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 17:51:00 +0000

It's all about Fable II these days. So many cheevos were unlocked this week! I actually created a separate Week In Cheevz recap just for my Fable cheevos! Make to check out the regular week in ch33v0z on the normal post, here.

The ch33v0z for Fable 2 are interesting, in that many can be attained for two players at a time. That means that theoretically, you can just piggy back on someone else's cheevo! Interesting idea, does it work? Meh... kinda. The cheevo descriptions also change once unlocked, which is kind of cool. I would like to thank Mike53414 for the hook up on some sweet ass cheevz.

Fable II

The Duellist-You, or a friend, have mastered the chain attack. Lightning-quick strikes are almost unstoppable-10G

The Dollcatcher-You, or a friend, collected all the Hero dolls. Shame you can't auction them off now-10G

The Gargoyle-You uncovered the gargoyles' treasure. The cheeky rocks have mocked you for the last time-25G

The Ruler of Albion-There is no richer Hero in the whole of Albion!-100G

The Party Animal-You, or a friend, spread the joy (and pain) of intoxication to five people in under three minutes-10G

The Celebrity-You, or a friend, are the most famous person in Albion. Heroes deserve to be celebrities!-50G

The Cliff Diver-You, or a friend, plunged an incredible 500 feet off a cliff. Heights hold no fears for Heroes-5G

The Sacrifice-The Needs of the Many' has sacrificed loved ones so that many more will live-25G

The Egomaniac-The Needs of the One' has condemned thousands to death for nothing but gold-25G

The Family-The Needs of The Few' has condemned thousands to death so that loved ones might live-25G

The Hero of Skill-You were there when the Hero of Skill was recruited-100G

The Black Knight-You have turned hollow man-killing into an artform. Turns out it wasn't a flesh wound-10G

The Paragon-You, or a friend, have taken morality to its utmost extreme. Neutral Heroes are so boring-15G

The Hero of Will-You were there when the Hero of Will was recruited-100G

The Extremist-You, or a friend, have taken purity or corruption to its utmost extreme-15G

The Illustrated Hero-Tattoos are forever. Just like this achievement-5G

The Menace To Society-You, or a friend, committed an act of public indecency. Oh, the shame of it-5G

The Artisan-You, or a friend, showed what it takes to be a model employee-10G

The Goth-Everybody knows black is the coolest colour-5G

The Muse-The whole of Albion has heard the songs you've commissioned about yourself. Show-off-5G

The Bigamist-Marriage is so great, one might as well do it twice!-10G

The Romantic-You, or a friend, organised the perfect date. Let's hope it was worth the trouble-10G

The Swinger-You went to bed with more than one person and... Well, why do you think we blacked out the screen?-5G

The Teaser-Bandits deserve having their minds messed with, and it's also jolly good fun!-5G

The Sharpshooter-You, or a friend, hit three targets with one shot. Reaver himself would be envious-10G

The Hunter-So, proud of yourself? Big brave hunter killed an innocent rabbit? How do you sleep at night?-5G

The Archmage-Five human enemies were killed with one magnificent spell-10G

Ok, so it's a bunch of cheevos. There are a couple of spoilers in there, so I'll leave them to last. This is one of the best games I've played in a long time, and I'm having a lot of fun with it. That being said, here is how I hooked up some of the more elusive cheevz.

The Dollcatcher is one of the more difficult cheevoz. It requires you to collect 6 different dolls to unlock it. The catch is that each gamertag can only unlock one of the dolls, requiring you to trade with other people via XBOX live. Tricky, since you have to put your trust in some people. Buy, borrow, or trade your way to this cheevo. You can win your own doll by getting a score of 150 at the shooting range in Westcliff.

The Hunter is stupid and I don't understand why they put it in the game. Basically, you just have to kill a rabbit. Not hard. However, they don't explain that you have to turn the "safety" off in your game. To disable the safeguard, push down on the d-pad and blast that little hopping bastard.

The Black Knight is a reference to a Monty Python movie. You'll find yourself a hollowman, shoot his hands off and then pop him in the head. Just make sure you have your "skill level" high enough to enable the precision shooting, otherwise you can't even attempt this one.

*SPOILER SECTION*

The Sacrifice, The Family, and The Egomaniac can all be scored at once... kind of. These cheevos deal directly with the end of the story. You'll be given three choices, each has it's own cheevo. Just quit to the dashboard after the cheevo unlocks, and reload the section. Bring a friend along for the ride and double up on the fun!

The Cliff Diver can only be achieved in one place(that I know of). This will be done on the pirate/treasure quest that you can get in the bar in Bloodstone. Just follow the bread crumb trail.

So that's Fable cheevoz for this week. I only have 4 left, and unfortunately they may stay that way. Currently Fable 2 is under some scrutiny by the community for requiring you buy the Fable Pub Games to unlock one of the cheevos. I'm not going to spend $10 on a game I'll never play for a measly 50 points. Drama aside, the real reason I won't be getting to them is because I'm buried under content. Dead Space, Star Wars, and Fallout 3 are currently filling my plate, so time for games is getting slim. Not only that, but next week is the release of the much anticipated Gears of War 2!

Too many games, not enough time. Check the regular post for my weekly cheev haul! I've got two new games and a bunch of new cheevos!

This Week In Ch33v0z, My Cup Runneth Over Edition

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 16:47:00 +0000

Wow. Just wow. It's come to that time of year again. The "Holiday season" as people in the know call it. I've just been buried by the first wave of new games, and I can't imagine how I'm going to make it out from underneath all of this. So this week I started Dead Space and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed that I got from Gamefly. I also started a new released game... maybe you've heard of it? That's right, Fable II. My cup runneth over with potential cheevo opportunities, but can I tear myself away from the time stealer that is Fable?

Dead Space

Dead On Arrival-Complete Chapter 1 on any difficulty setting-20G

Marksman-Dismember 20 Limbs-5G

This is a sweet ass game! It's scary, gory, filled with action and it's fun! To this point, my only regret is that I've not given it enough time. Neglect shall be it's middle name.

Not much to explain for the cheevoz, but I'll get back to you on the rest.

Fable II

The Companions-You performed a perfect co-op expression. Isn't it nice playing together?-10G

The Philanthropist-A gift was sent to an Xbox LIVE friend. Aren't Heroes nice people?-10G

The Hero of Strength-You were there when the Hero of Strength was recruited-100G

The Parent-You, or a friend, have contributed to the population of Albion-10G

The Spouse-You, or a friend, got married! You don't remember the wedding night? You were probably drunk-10G

The Persuader-You, or a friend, convinced someone to hand over a present0-5G

The Chicken Kicker-You, or a friend, kicked a poor, defenceless chicken. Good thing they have reinforced feathers-5G

The Workhorse-There is nothing more fulfilling than doing one's job well-10G

The Dog Trainer-Your dog, or another Hero's, has one more trick in his repertoire-5G

The Double Threat-You achieved a co-op combat bonus-10G

The Rogue-You, or a friend, managed to steal something from a house while people stood nearby-5G

The Hero of Many Names-You, or a friend, changed titles. We still know who you really are. No one hides from us-5G

The New Hero-Thag the Impatient has been defeated. Albion has a new Hero-50G

The Pooch Pamperer-You, or your friend, played fetch with the dog. That little fellow just loves to play-5G

The Archaeologist-You, or a friend, excavated a site discovered by the dog and found something-5G

The Pied Piper-You, or a friend, threw a really swinging party. No one spreads joy like a Hero-10G

The Show-off-You, or a friend, performed a perfect expression and impressed a villager. Heroes are such a posers-5G

The Whippersnapper-A child Hero collected five gold pieces for a fateful purpose-25G

This game is just great. It's one of those fantastic, time stealing games that you can't seem to stop playing... even when you want to. It contains all the things I love about open world/RPG games... hookers. Oh, and something about leveling up and characters... meh.

Most of these cheevos are pretty self explanatory. A couple require some explaining.... and a few I have no fucking clue.
The Companions shouldn't be too hard to get, basically you and a friend have to perform an expression, hold it, and both finish in the optimal green zone. I'm not going to get into how to do the expression, but that's how you get the cheevo.

The Chicken Kicker is not one of my favorite cheevos. Personally, I would rather kick a baby than a chicken, but hey... it's not my game. So, I'm not sure how many chickens you have to kick, but I got mine around 10.
The Hero Of Many Names is really easy. The first time you come into a town, seek out the "Town Crier" and change your name to something else. Booyah, unlocked.

The Pied Piper is a bit time consuming but pretty easy, and can be attained pretty early in the game. Just go near a few people and start hitting your expressions. Just keep doing it until you get a good sized crowd.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

Oh... no cheevos? That's right, it's actually sitting on the desk, collecting dust. Sorry folks out there that want to rent Dead Space and Star Wars, Fable is just too good!

So that's it for this week. Look out for some more cheevz next week as I actually dive into my other games. Welcome to the tidal wave that is the holiday... as I call it, the cheevadays.

This Week In Ch33v0z, The Unreal Castle Humans Edition

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 18:06:00 +0000

The downpour of holiday games is upon us, this can be considered the calm before the storm. My 360 is currently whisking its way back to my arms, via UPS. It's cheeving days are far from over. Ok, so on to the cheev news! Got some time in on Unreal Tournament 3 and even some co-op in Too Human! Continue reading for all the cheevy goodness.

Too Human

Teamwork Takedown-In co-op one player must destroy the troll's chest armor and the other must mount kill-10G

Feeder of Ravens-Kill 10,000 enemies-10G

Valkyrie's Folly-Died 100 times-5G

Back on the level grinding trail of Too Human! That's right, dungeon crawling and searching for loot. And would you look at that... a few ch33v0z too! This week I've delved into a little bit of co-op with my consummate gaming buddy and ch33v0 enthusiast, Mike53414.

Valkyrie's Folly and Feeder of Ravens will both come with time. Just keep playing and both will unlock eventually.

Teamwork Takedown was a little more tricky. Supposedly, one player must knock the chest armor off a troll, while the other mounts and kills it. This sounds ok, but we just couldn't get it to work properly. Finally, after giving up, we managed to unlock it by accident. Don't ask me how, because I took the armor off and mounted him myself... so who knows?

Unreal Tournament 3

Untouchable-Reached 20 kills against a god-like bot in instant action without dying-20G

Soldier's blood-Completed Chapter 2-30G

Lock and Load-Completed Chapter 1-10G

Unreal Tournament 3... first off I want to say that I'm glad I didn't buy this game. It's boring, and not that much fun. Touted as "Gears Of War on crack" by the developers, (I'm starting to agree with that). Have you ever seen what crack does to a person? Not so good. Same with this game... not so good. The campaign story sucks, and the actual gameplay is just one EXTREMELY long string of bot matches. Nothing to hold my interest... already sent back to Gamefly.

Lock and Load and Soldier's Blood come with normal gameplay, but I will say the number of BOT matches that you have to endure in between seem endless.

Untouchable would normally be really tough, but someone figured out a cheap ass way to scoop up this normally hard cheevo. Check this video for the details.

Castle Crashers

Animal Handler-Collect all the animals-20G

I love Castle Crashers. That's it. It's great.

So Mike53414 and I spent some time, searching around the game and Internet. We found all the locations for the little animal orbs that the game has, thus netting us the Animal Handler cheevo. Very prized... very prized. Here is a pretty comprehensive list of locations.

So that's it for this week. I'm looking at Dead Space, and gearing up for Fable 2. Hopefully I'll get some good games from Gamefly, considering I sent back UT3 and Alone in the Dark. I'll also give you the update on my 360 repair, considering the insane turn around time... think it will come back broken? Tune in next week to find out!

This Week In Ch33v0z, The Red Ring Of Death Edition

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 19:41:00 +0000

Damn you Microsoft! You've done it to me again! DAMN YOU STRAIGHT TO HELL! Yes, I've been marked for death again, by Microsoft and the dreaded "Red Ring of Death". The ch33v0lution has been slowed but not stopped. I'm back online(thanks to my lovely GF), and ready to cheev it up! Viva La Ch33volution!

Castle Crashers

Medic!-In a 4 player game, resuscitate each of your fallen comrades at least once-10G

Conscientious Objector-Complete the Home Castle through Barbarian Boss areas without attacking any foes-20G

Kay Eye Ess Ess-Collect all 4 princesses' kisses in a multiplayer game-15G

Ahhh, Castle Crashers... you never cease to fulfill my cheevo needs. This week I was able to boost some sweet online cheevos with a fellow fighter for the cause, Mike53414.

Medic can be gained easily by yourself or with a friend. You'll just need 4 controllers, or 4 separate people on LIVE (or any combination that adds up to 4). Just take turns getting beat down, and then revive your buddy... do this for each of the players and you'll unlock 10 points!

Conscientious Objector is simple too. Make sure you don't attack ANY enemies and let your buddy do all the killing. Should be simple with a high-level character.

Kay Eye Ess Ess is a fun one to get. While playing online, after finding a princess, you'll have to fight for the honor of getting a kiss from her. Kick the other player's asses and win the kiss of all 4 princesses, and scoring a sweet ass ch33v0.

That's it, super short and super sweet. I'll be hitting up some Unreal Tournament 3 this week, so look for some new cheevoz! Nothing will keep the ch33v0lution down! Not the red ring of death, not haters like Knuckles Dawson! Cheev on brothers!

This Week In Ch33v0z, The Alone In The Battlefield Edition

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 17:06:00 +0000

It's been a slow week in the world ch33v0z, even with a NEW GAME from Gamefly! It's mostly my fault, and in some ways it's your fault... actually, it's mostly your fault. I received a couple of new games from Gamefly and both are just... awful. They are utterly boring and ridiculous! Of course I'm referring to Alone In The Dark and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. EM:QW has already been banished from my land of gaming, and AITD is well on it's way. I did however manage to rack up few paltry ch33v0z, here is a very quick review.

Alone In The Dark

Wired-Hotwire a car-10G

Car Thievery-Unlock a car door after breaking the window-10G

BLACKOUT-Finish the episode without skipping any sequence-30G

This game is complete crap. I'm sorry if you love it, or like it or whatever, but I think it just sucks. The controls are bad, the camera is bad, the targeting system is bad, and the inventory system is awful. So, bad,bad,bad, and awful! Sounds like a great game, right? I think there are a lot of good ideas, but they are put together in a shitty way. Meh, whatever...ch33v0z!

BLACKOUT isn't too hard to get, especially because the story isn't that bad. Just make sure you listen to everything they have to say, and you'll get this one.

Car Thievery and Wired are gained within 10 seconds of each other, just before your first driving scene. Besides the arduous task of trying to guide your clumsy character over to the car, and smash the window with some object or trying to get the car to start using the lame "hot-wire" mechanic, these two cheevos are easy to get. Of course the game developers half-assed the cheevo pictures, which annoys the fuck out of me.

Anyway, don't expect to see much more of this game in the future.

Battlefield: Bad Company

Hold on!-Completed 'Air Force One' on normal-15G

Ooh Rah-Achieved half of all awards-20G

The love affair continues! I'm still plugging away at the single player campaign to scoop up those normal difficulty cheevos, and hitting the multiplayer hard pretty much every day.

Ooh Rah is a great cheevo to finally get, because many of the awards can be difficult to get. This being one of my favorite games adds extra weight to a difficult ch33v0. Your tip for getting this one? I dunno... be a badass? That's what I did.

So that's it for the week, but I have another game on the way (hopefully not total shit) and we are on the precipice of a huge game flood that is called "the holiday season". Get your life boats ready, because we are going to be up to our necks in the sweet cheevoz.

Oh the sweet cheevos! I've been slowly plugging away at the cheev-mines, even though my 57" DLP has been down all week, the cheevin' is just as good on a 20" CRT!... just kidding, it's not as good( :( <----- me). Anyway, enough of the pity-party... It's cheevo time!

Mercenaries 2: World In Flames

Be Quick or Be Dead-You sniped 50 enemy vehicle drivers-10G

Wheels of Steel-You came in first during a co-op race-50G

...And Justice For All-You verified all high value targets-50G

No More Mr. Nice Guy-You pissed off everyone in Venezuela-10G

I can't put this game down. I love, love, love it. It's the bizzle and the shizzle and it's eating up the majority of my game time. I finally beat the game, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop playing it. There is nothing like calling in an air-strike or hassling local factions, add in the co-op and you've got a winner!

...And Justice For All requires that you "verify" all the HVTs(High Value Targets), verify means capture or kill. Quick tip, there is a secret cheevo for capturing ALL the targets, if you are careful you can rack up another 50 points.
Be Quick Or Be Dead is annoying and time consuming, about 45 minutes or so. This should be done as soon as possible, or when everyone is pissed at you (see next cheevo) so that you can increase the amount of enemies around. Get yourself a Chinese sniper kit, and pop the driver of any hostile vehicle.
No More Mr. Nice Guy is super easy, and kind of fun. Just shoot a couple of friendlies until you get a nice "hostile" rating. Then move to the next faction. Try to do this early, when there are still side missions you can do for factions you've pissed off... that way you can get back into their good graces without forking over millions in bribes.

Battlefield: Bad Company

He might come in handy-Completed 'Par for the Course' on normal-15G

You and what army?-Completed 'Crossing Over' on normal-15G

Not even a nugget!-Completed 'Acta Non Verba' on normal-15G

Check My Grill-Found half of the gold bars-20G

I still can't stop playing this game. Addictive multiplayer is all that need be said when talking about it... I took a slow weekend to get some of the single player story cheevos that I was missing from this game. Quick note about this game, there are separate cheevos for playing this game on different difficulties (hard or normal), but they aren't "stackable".... that means you'll have to play it twice to get all of them.

Check My Grill is the only one that will require some help, check out this comprehensive guide for some tips on how to round up all the gold in this game, and get some sweet cheevoz too.

So that's it! It's been a slow week for cheevoz. I've actually got two new games from gamefly, and I just don't want to play them. So, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars and Alone In The Dark may be on the docket for next week... until then, cheev-on faithful ch33v0 soldiers.
