This Week In Ch33v0z, Last Week's Edition

This is the post that should have gone up last Friday, but I didn't post it and that's just how it is. However, I haven't forgotten about all my loyal cheev-hounds... so without further ado, I give you... This..uh... last week in ch33v0z!

Mercenaries 2! I've been blowing shit up, and kicking ass all over Venezuela! This a great game, and tons of fun. Not only that, but the cheevz have been flowing freely like the black gold of Venezuela.

Most of the cheevoz that I got this week are due to repetitive actions like destroying X amount of this or killing X amount of those. A couple could use some explanations.

Dirty Deeds, Forever Free, and Stand Up And Shout are awarded for getting a maximum "friendly" rating with each of the different factions. You can achieve this by completing story missions or secondary objectives (HVTs and Priority Targets) or bribing them.

Balls To The Wall is not hard once you understand the point of the exercise. There might be some instructions on screen, but I'm a guy so I don't read that crap. The challenge requires you to raise a red tool box a specified number of meters above the ground. What they don't' tell you is that you need to stack it on one of the objects surrounding it. First grab one of the miscellaneous objects with the winch of the chopper (using left button on the d-pad) and place it in the yellow circle. Then pick up the red tool box and put it on top of said miscellaneous object. Voila.


Castle Crashers

The Traitor-Defeat any boss by playing one of his own minions-20G





LOVE this game... LOVE it.

The Traitor cheevo is attained by using one of the unlocked characters to defeat the associated characters boss. The easiest, fastest way, is to play in the arena. Win one wave in the arena, and you'll unlock a barbarian character. Use this character to defeat the barbarian boss, and booyah... cheevo unlocked.

Battlefield: Bad Company

Darwin's Parachute-There is no parachute, right?-10G





Still loving the Battlefield, still unlocking the sweet cheevos.

Darwin's Parachute is extremely easy, if you can get your hands on a chopper in multiplayer. Just snag a chopper, fly it as high as you can... and hit the B button to exit. As soon as you hit the ground, the cheevo will be yours.

That's pretty much it for last week. I've already started on this week's set of cheevos, so expect them out on time. Mercs 2, some arcade titles and maybe a new game. The surprises never end, and neither does my love for cheevoz.
