Halo 3 Achievements

Halo 3 Achievements

With Free on vacation in Telluride, I will try and step up with a post or two. I noticed that the achievements for Halo 3 have been published. I think it is a great mix of online and offline achievements, as well as most of them look reasonably attainable. Only three months, and you can start adding these to your gamer score.

Check them all out

    Armleg Just Crapped His Pants




















    DETAILS

    I hope this doesn't mean the action figures have been wiped out by the Flood.

    Ace Combat 6 Flight Stick Bundle














    From Kotaku: "If you're excited about the Namco Bandai's Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation, but find it just not expensive enough, maybe you'll be interested in the limited edition bundle SKU shipping later this year. For about $149.99 you'll get the Xbox 360 game, the two-piece Hori flight stick and... wait for it... an Ace Combat 6 face plate."

    I have to say I am excited about this game. I just hope it's more simulatory than arcadey, if you get my drift. These special controllers are a good sign I'd say.

    In the Shadow of Halo3

    Another from Destructiod. The Orange box has a street date.

    Everyone loves heatsinks

    I count myself very lucky that my console has never flickered the read rings of death. I am planning on getting one of the new 360s running the 65nm chipsets in hopes that it will not be as loud and with luck, more dependable than the original hardware. I think most of you would agree that the failure rate is higher than it should be on the 360, and was happy to read -- courtesy of Destructiod -- Microsoft trying to fix the original hardware.

    How to Make Custom Art in Forza












    Timo and I have been wondering how some of the better paint jobs in Forza were created. Turns out, it's not easy...at all. A detailed tutorial has been posted on the Forza forums. This just makes the car auction feature that much sweeter. Any of the 2130 drivers have the patience for this?
