Special Gears Of War 2 Ch33v0 Recap!

As most gamers know, this month has been a glut of games. More releases over the past 4 weeks than we've had all year. Game publishers trying to grab your cash, and in my case... succeeding. So, while it's put a dent in my wallet, it's also put a dent into my free time, A.K.A. blogging time. So, without further ado, the cheevoz of Gears of War 2.

I want to begin by saying that this game is the bomb. It's not only the bomb, it's the bombizzle. The shizznat. The dookie chute... right? Anyway, it's great and I'm way into it. Horde Mode, ftw.

So it's all pretty straight forward, however Gears 2 has this cool little feature that shows you your progress towards specific cheevoz. For instance, when you hit 4,000 kills, it will let you know that you are 4,000/100,000 kills for the Seriously 2.0 cheevo. Good times.

Variety Is The Spice Of Death requires that you get a kill with every weapon in the game. There are 15 different weapons, click here for a list.

Kick 'Em While They're Down is similar to VITSOD, but you must perform every different execution with a weapon. This will require your enemy to be downed (on his hands and knees). The best way to get an enemy to drop down, is to use your lancer rifle to shoot their knees. They will fall, and you can use your weapon to perform a special execution. Click here for a list of all executions.

Dirty, Dirty Horde and Hoard The Horde are pretty difficult, but it's attainable with help. Get into a co-op game (the more people the better) and play up to wave 50 on one map! Turn the difficulty to casual(still fucking hard) and it should be a challenge, but doable.

Everything else is pretty self explanitory, now get out there and chainsaw some bitches.

So that's as far as it goes for Gears of War 2. I'm still pounding away at the cheevz, and I'll be working on a new post that will encompass all my cheevy goodness of the last two weeks! Be on the lookout for the normal weekly post!

This Week In Ch33v0z, The Fallout Unleashed Edition

Cheevos for one, cheevos for all. This week has brought some cheevoz, as I grind my way through games. Star Wars has paid out, but the points yield low. Not to mention Fallout 3 is a fantastic game, with tons of things to do... but the cheevos are SO tight. Let's see what this week brought!


Star Wars: The Force Unleashed


Rebel Leader-Defeat 500 Imperials-15G





Infestation-Complete Level - Felucia, act 2-10G





Legend-Earn 600,000 Force Points on a single level-25G





The Bigger They Are-Defeat 6 Rancors-15G





Skyhook-Complete Level - Kashyyyk, act 2-10G





Expert-Earn 500,000 Force Points on a single level-10G





Vapor Room-Complete Level - Cloud City, act 2-10G





Empirical-Complete Level - Empirical, act 2-10G





Cannon Fodder-Defeat 150 Stormtroopers-15G





Force Grip Mastery-Defeat 500 enemies with Force Grip-20G





Jedi Hunt-Complete Level - Felucia, act 1-10G






Shocked-Defeat 100 enemies with Force Lightning-5G






Junkyard-Complete Level - Raxus Prime, act 1-10G






Bully-Defeat 25 Ugnaughts or Jawas-15G





I have one gripe with the cheevoz for this game. They all involve completing chapters or doing something a certain number of times. No real skill required, just play the game, beat the levels and kill stuff.

Oh, and 5 point cheevoz suck.


Fallout 3

Galaxy News Radio-Completed "Galaxy News Radio"-20G




Psychotic Prankster-Placed a grenade or mine while pickpocketing-10G




Following in His Footsteps-Completed "Following in His Footsteps"-20G





This game is my new crack. I'm totally engrossed in the world of the game, the characters and stories within that world and the gameplay. It's fun and I really love to play. Most of the cheevos are tied to missions, each which can be relatively long.

So you may have noticed this post is a bit late. Well, that's due to Gears of War 2, which took up most of my weekend. Be on the lookout for next weeks Gears of War extravaganza of cheevos!
