#807 Aegis Wing [XBLA]
12th XBLA game finished
39th game finished in 2008
I’ve beaten normal countless times and insane twice now, even though I don’t have all 12 achievements I’m chalking this one up as beaten but just not 100%. Aegis Wing probably earns a lot of points being free, because it just wouldn’t be as good nor as populated if it were pay. The fact you can always find a game is a big plus in the fun factor. Other than that its sidescrolling space shmup hell…
#808 Bully:Scholarship Edition
8th 360 game finished
40th game finished in 2008
1000/1000 Achievement Points
WOW, I’m literally stunned that I got 100%. I can’t speak for what it was on release day but as it stands it only has a few minor graphical glitches that only horrible fanboys complain about. I never experienced slow down, or crashes. I did have occasions where saving took a while but thats it.
The game remains a Rockstar classic still ignored by most gamers, and porting an upgrade the same year as GTA4 did not help this title at all (nor did its supposed glitchy release I can’t speak for). Bully still earns a 95% from me.
Some tips for those wanting all 1000 achievement points
1.Save before you goto any class there is a save point in the principals lobby on the second floor. Waiting a whole week for some classes to come around again is a pain in the ass.
2.WALK until you get the marathon achievement (walk 100Km), then do skateboarding and then biking. You’ll be much happier
3.To get Over the Rainbow find the blonde bully in the parking lot
4.You get the lawn mowing achievement before you complete all the missions, so do the house mowing when that becomes available in chapter 4
5.Most guides ignore a clothing item you need for 100%, the prison suit where you must serve all 9 detentions (snow shoveling doesn’t count)

Its also time to stop trying for a high gamer % I think, Its currently gone up two percent to 54% but as soon as I earn an achievement in 3 games I have at 0 it’ll fall. Back to achievement hunting and gamerscore climbing for me.
Some comments on new games
New Rally X:Lord is this…not that awful and kind of fun and super easy
Ms Pac Man:I am struggling to eat 4 ghosts in 4 super pellets in a row.
Cloning Clyde:Seems easy, no points yet
Naruto Rise of a Ninja:Does anybody have any tips for the forest of death? These people are murderously good and it can’t be boosted like most multiplayer games
Avatar:Screw it, I’m getting my 1000 and sending it back
Kameo:Haven’t tried this yet

Eating four ghosts each time with four super-pellets was hard as hell in Pac Man itself, probably my finest achievement yet.
