Mmmm free in0game items

Mmmm free in-game items

Sign into your gamertag on xbox.com and then hit this link to head over to the Fable 2 site. Once you complete your quest you will be awarded some in game items to use in Fable 2. Nice.

My benevolent nature earned me a Lionhead Studios tattoo and hero doll, which apparently will be waiting for me when I buy Fable 2. Hurrah.

The site seems to work best in Internet Explorer

Also if you into kicking chickens, go here.

What’s your True Achievement worth?

Every Xbox 360 game has up to 1000 achievement points available to gain, with downloadable content offering a possible additional 250 per title. Arcade titles can award a total of 200 points over 12 achievements. How these are awarded and how much each is worth is entirely up to the developer/publisher, and as a result getting 1000 points on one game can be a hell of a lot easier than getting the full set on another (See Avatar: The Burning Earth)

I came across this site a couple of weeks back when it was in beta, and its now its open for public registration.

TrueAchievements.com works on the logical principle that the harder an achievement is to obtain, the more points it should be worth, so based on your current Gamerscore it will work out your True Achievement Gamerscore.

Full details are on their FAQ page, but the basic idea is that the true difficulty of an achievement is calculated by the frequency of people who have it, compared with the amount of people who own the game. So using the example on the site, if 100 people own a game, but only 1 person has a certain achievement, then that achievement must be very difficult to get, and should then be marked up considerably.

Upon signing up, your Gamertag data is scanned, and your True Achievement score is calculated. My latest Gamerscore, and True Achievement Gamerscore is calculated below, with a more detailed break down here.

So, what’s your True Achievement worth?

"IM BATMAN" – Setting up US and Japanese 360 accounts.

“IM BATMAN“, Alan Partridge once said.

Its also what I’m saying now I have a new shiny Batman Gamerpic for myself, displayed up there on the top right. But you wont find this Gamerpic in the UK Xbox LIVE Marketplace, oh no, so how did I get it? From the US Marketplace that’s where…

Depending on your location, you will have access to a different version of the Xbox Marketplace, all of which carry slightly different content. I have 3 accounts set up, Shepperton, which is my normal Gamertag that I use to play online and collect precious achievement points, then also a US and a Japanese account I use to access the different Marketplaces.

Once content is downloaded from another Marketplace, its free to use on any Gamertag you may have. For example some demos appear only on the US or Japanese Marketplace, if this is the case its possible to sign to your US/Japanese Gamertag, download it, then sign back into your normal Gamertag and play it.

When a new Gamertag is created it will be Gold Tier for the first month, then revert to Silver automatically after that, you wont have to  input any payment details. You will also only be able to grab content that is free.

There’s a full walk through on creating US and Japanese 360 accounts for Marketplace over at GamerReports I recommend  Aegis Wing from the US marketplace, which is a Free side scrolling free shooter with 4 player co-op,  released last year in May.
