GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Monday, Oct 5, 2009

Sometime yesterday I crossed 80K gamerscore while playing the XBLA game Comix Zone. Keeping with the tradition I've started:

  • 80K - Comix Zone (XBLA)
  • 70K - Madden NFL 10
  • 60K - Monopoly
  • 50K - X-Men Origins: Wolverine
  • 40K - Sega Genesis Collection
  • 30K - Dead Space
  • 20K - Soul Calibur IV
  • 10K - Elder Scrolls Oblivion

I was really surprised at how fast I completed Comix Zone and racked up all the achievements. It didn't even take me a half and hour; 24 mins to be exact. The reason I was able to breeze through the game so fast was because it was one of the few games I owned on the Sega Genesis while growing up. Even though it's been well over 10 years since I last played the game, everything was still fresh in my mind. I knew how to solve all the puzzles, how to defeat enemies, how to strategically use items to defeat enemies and assist in the environment, the locations of all the hidden items, the hidden routes and short cuts to completing a level. I basically knew the game inside out! I didn't even die once, although my health was on red when I entered the final battle...good times...

Keeping with the arcade frame of mine I dusted off Namco Museum which contains several arcade games and I decided to give some of them a go since I'm in the mood to short simple games.

I'm still waiting for Halo: ODST to arrive as well as a few other games. I hope they'll arrive this week.

Congrats on the 80K. And I know what you mean by still remembering how to play an old game and do very well. It happened to me when I got Super Mario World and Donkey Kong Country on Wii Virtual Console, I played those games a LOT in the SNES days.

Congrats on the 80K gamerscore. Comix Zone sounds like a pretty cool game.

Comix Zone was a real treat when on the Genesis. I own it on a genesis collection for the PSP but it does'nt feel the same as it did on a console. Anyway congrats on your achievments.Keep us all posted on your future accomplishments.

Jeez... I'm no where near you. But right now, my scores is 33,33..........2. Anyway, I played Comix Zone, and that game seriously hard for me.

comix zone was legit...except i played it on the comp so the controls were a bit more skewed....congratz however...

Congrats, you'll soon catch me.

I've been at 97,000 for a few months. I figure, once I hit 100,000, I wasn't going to go for 200,000.(I hit 90,000 back in Jan.) I've racked up 1400 Trophies this year though.

Yeah, I always liked Comix Zone, I could get an easy 200 GS, but I got to check the price, I don't want to spend more than $5 on it.

wow. that is a lot and I feel bad in comparison, a couple games of hockey on my PS2 is all i managed while I was gone. I need to get started gaming again. My MMOs suffered when I was gone so I may have more time for console games.

Congrats on hitting 80K I'm only just coming up to 20K now (19315 to be exact lol)! I'm hooked on Star Ocean TLH at the moment and it takes ages to get most of the achievements in it! I don't think I'll get any significant amount till I'm pretty much finished it... and at the rate I play games that'll be a loooong time away Good luck going for 90K!
Posted Oct 6, 2009 3:10 am PT
I've been above 95k for what seems like forever...Now I'm above 99k, but barely.

If you catch up to me I will be devastated....

Congrats on getting 80k achievements THAT is proper dedication

Good lord, I am still around 15,000 GP. But then again I haven't really been into trying to get al the GP's on most games for a long time now. I just try and have fun with them and if I get them I get them, and if not oh well. It is cool you can remember what game put you over each hurdle though. I can't even remember any of mine.

Hats off, that was not an easy game to complete, even back in the day. Good job
Posted Oct 6, 2009 10:58 am PT
@SolidTy - The game IS only 400 points. That's one of the reasons I didn't hesitate to make the purchase.
Posted Oct 6, 2009 4:31 pm PT

That's the perfect price point, I have about 500 MS Points, you just sold another XBLA game to me!
