    I had 5 of those beast kills left to get and boxed them all off over the 5 rounds so was happy to get that done. Don't have to worry bout Beast mode again unless i start ribbon hunting.

    I've got a bit of a free run for tomorrow night if anyone is on for tackling the Horde Achievements?

    hi james howlett,
    if you or any of the other guys here are interested there is a boards achievement league set up on ta. the thread is here http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=71583935

    im not sure if any of the lads monitor it anymore but i like to log on from time to time to see how i compare with some of the other boardsies. i think the league based system gives the extra incentive to go and get a few extra achievements! if anyone here wants to join the league just send a request via ta and we will gladly add you.
    regards

    Think I started a thread ages ago on this , but this thread has the hardcore dedicated cream of the crop.

    The objective..... do we have all the weapons between us for "We need guns..." in Fable 3?????

    Still on the hunt for a co-op partner for Gears 2 insane run, and co-op for Saints Row 2, will consider boosting MP in Saints Row 1 too.

    Also want to get Moxi's done in Borderlands, but that is a few nights work too.

    Also have a few easy co-op ones in Guitar Hero 3 to get out of the way.

    Ya, have all the maps and none of the achievements. We could include a few other lads for doing the map based achievements, like Seamarse, who I played a bit of Gears 2 with lately.

    Yeah I'm defintely up for clearing some Gears 2 multiplayer achievements, particularly "Horde the Horde" as I still haven't managed to get to wave 50 yet in Gears 2 or 3 :(

    Well get another 1 or 2 players, and I can host a horde match on Escalation, with the mutators, and it will take about 2 hours all going well to complete.

    I cleared it with AceCard and his missus on Sunday night, good use of Hammer Command Centres to wipe out the horde each time speeded things up.

    Don't worry about Gears 3, I only want to finish Horde once mode for the achievement of saying I did it, the gamerscore achievement is secondary in this case. :)

    If we're planning a Gears 2 Horde session then that's enough for me, especially since none of us have that achievement anyway so we'll all get something out of it. I wouldn't ask anyone to go through a 2 hour game session for something they already have.

    @Calex - Batman and I did a Horde 1 - 10 achievement two weeks ago in Gears 2 and it was tough enough with just the two of us so if we are going for the full 50 we would definitely need another two players.

    i finished Horde in Gears 2 easily enough. me and 1 other lad did it on the map that has the laser wires up. It was very easy to just stay within the laser wire area and kill the guys from there as they weren't ever able to get inside.

    Looking like I'll have to set up a gaming session on TA to get the 3-4 Horde achievements in one run through in Gears 3 now.

    I don't know how I'm fixed for later. If I can tonight then I'll be online around 8ish and if there's enough of us then I'm good for Gears 2,3 or whatever the majority want to go for.

    Failing that I'll be dredging through Terminator Salvation...

    You'd be better to go onto the 343 forums for getting people to do that, those achievements are a nightmare, especially the firefight one. :P

    http://halo.xbox.com/Forums/yaf_topics8_Recruiting.aspx Go to that forum and ask for help, there's probably already people looking too.

    AC Revelations
    Left 4 Dead 1
    Portal 2

    Have the above 3 and would be happy to help with online achievements for any of them. I haven't played much of AC: Revelations as yet but I do have the two dlc packs, from what I can see a private match would be the best way to go for those ones.

    As regards Child of Eden, it's not kinect only and I played the majority of it with a controller. Kinect controls did work well as there are only two attacks which are mapped to each of the player's hands and I experienced little problems with response time. It is a great game regardless of its high achievement yield and well worth checking out. There's only 5 levels but the difficulty makes repeat plays necessary. I think I saw it on sale in a few places in recent weeks so if you can pick it up cheap then all the better.

    Thanks, I'm still a little behind the rest of you though :)
    I'm working on my completion ratio at the moment. Currently it's 46% so I'm working on the back catalogue to bring it up. It's annoying to have games I played for 30minutes on one occasion but because 2 achievements were unlocked they leave a permanent scar on the gamercard :(

    Got no email from this tread yesterday after I posted, so I though nobody replied & nobody was on for some horde, whoops, I best beg your pardons! :pac:

    Lets say 8 this evening....Escalation, mutators on...and we should easily do the 50 waves if there is a few of us.
