2013-11-16 - Two Lego games and one new free-for-gold-members game

Today I finished Lego Batman - where I had one forgotten achievement to do. Took me about 1 hour of gaming to get the last achievement and the 100% completion. Amazing to see that previous achievement was obtained almost exactly 5 years ago.

Second Lego game I spent some time on was LEGO Star Wars: TCS where I got 4 achievements worth 80G.

Last but not least - this months (November 2013) second free game for Xbox Live Gold members - Iron Brigade, where I also got 4 achievements on my first day. As it is an arcade game, they were only worth 25G.

2013-11-16 - Completed LEGO Batman

As I have been playing a lot of the LEGO Star Wars 2 game lately on Xbox I checked out my other Lego games and progress in the games. I noticed that in Lego Batman I had one achievement, that I had not got. No worries, pop the game in the console, and maybe after 1 hour of gaming got the last achievement and the 100% completion. Woo hoo! :)

Amazing to see that previous achievement was obtained almost exactly 5 years ago.

2013-11-14 - 2 times undefeated at LEGO Star Wars II

Not much gaming done today, but managed to get done 2 achievements worth 40G.

As I have now unlocked one of the "ghost" characters, the "don't die once" achievements are not that hard at all in free play mode. All enemies ignore the ghost (I presume they cannot see it or figure out they cannot kill it) and focus on their energy on the AI controlled sidekick. So this leaves the main player very safe and only way to fail the achievement is to fall to your death. :)

And if you do manage to get yourself killed by falling off from somewhere, only option is usually to quite the level and restart from the beginning. I had to do it once as one jump to a platform went bit too far and my character fell to his death. :)

2013-11-13 - Half way there

Another day where I only played one game - this time it was again Lego Star Wars II.

I got only 2 achievements, but they were the heavy ones, score ways ... in total 130G. And as you see from screenshot below, now the score is 500/1000. :)

"Lego city complete" was easy to do - its just an achievement, that you cannot do in beginning of the game. You have to have progressed relatively far in the game to have enough gold bricks to build the door to the Lego city. Once you have it built, it is easy.

"Game 80% complete" - this is just one that comes over time when you have re-played the levels in normal or free mode and collected more and more bricks and mini-kits.
