2013-10-05 - Ascend: Hand of Kul

Got my hands on this new and free to play game today.

First impressions are pretty good! I like it. Reminds me a bit of Fable, as it involves a lot of running around in mystical world and battling enemies with swords and magic.

Got 125 achievements during first day.

2013-10-04 - Tron and WWE day

Today was quite busy day achievement-wise, I did score 30 easy points in WWE 12 and whopping 280G in Tron: Evolution.

I might shelve Tron for a while now as the only achievement left to do there is the "Evolved User" (Completed the game on the "Insane" difficulty level without changing the setting.) one ... But the downside of this achievement is that you can only select "Insane" after you have completed in on "Hard".

 

2013-10-03 - What a busy day

Today was quite busy day.

And that's both in life in and outside of Xbox - I had couple of recruiters contacting me with possible job offers. Nice if something good emerges from it.

Gaming wise I got multiple achievements in multiple games:

I played 5 different games, and got achievements in 4 of them. :)

30G in AlphaJax (Win 8)
30G in TC's RainbowSix Vegas
15G in Jetpack Joyride (Win 8)
0 G in Team Crossword (Win 8)
and
80G in Tron: Evolution

Not bad, eh? :)

2013-10-02 - WWE '12

Not much gaming done last few days... Life outside home has kept me busy. Managed to get one new achievement in WWE '12 today:

WWE '12

Popped in new game today - WWE '12 ... I know it has been out for ages, but it was new to me to play.

First impressions are not too great :( Not sure if it is because I am European and never lived in WWE broadcasting coverage area, or is it just that the game is little bit "dumb".

There are not much instructions what to do and how. Lot of button smashing involved, lots of funny story about the modern gladiators (scripted) rivalry. Even on easy settings it is bit hard for me (hopefully it improves over time).

During my first day I got 60Gs and 4 achievements. I think I need to concentrate on the online achievements ASAP, as the functionality will be going down in end of October 2013 (source: trueachievements.com).
