After struggling a little bit with C.Viper last night (possibly the character I am worst with), I spent some time looking for some useful guides and videos in order to beat Seth as easily as possible. Those who read my recent Street Fighter IV Tips article should be able to win with atleast one or two characters, but you need to finish the game with every character in order to unlock Akuma.
Unfortunately the last boss Seth is a bit of a nightmare and uses loads of cheap moves which can suck you into his powerful combos no matter where you are on screen (well, almost). So, here are a few useful videos to help you beat Seth with any character (and also one on how to unlock Akuma).

How to unlock Akuma the easy way in Street Fighter IV
I hope these videos help some of you who are having trouble beating Seth. The tactics may take some time to practice, but once you’ve mastered the timing you should be able to unlock all of the Street Fighter IV characters.
Please note that whilst these tactics will work against the computer controlled opponents, you will need to master the proper techniques if you are to do well online.
Play during Maw’s six meal times: Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, Dunch, Dinner, and Midnight Feast.
There are some Xbox 360 achievements that really make you wonder how on earth you will be able to unlock them. I’m not on about daunting achievements like the Gears of War “Seriously?” task, but more the ones that tease you with little information.
Thanks to the great site x360a.org, I was finally able to find out how to unlock the Maw “Six Meals a Day” achievement.
You can mess around with the time zone setting on the 360, load up a level and then quit out so it saves. Keep changing time zones and doing this until the achievement unlocks. You can stay connected to Live while you change time zones. Alternatively, you can keep playing the game at various times of the day until it unlocks.
TIMES: Try 8am, 10am, 12pm, 4pm, 6pm, 12am.
As an added tip, I have heard that this “cheat” only works offline, as the clock can automatically correct itself using the Xbox Live timing.
I hope this helps a lot of you in obtaining the final achievement of this awesome game!
Yesterday I was introduced to an Xbox Live Arcade game that I was previously unaware of (well, sort of). Namely; Bionic Commando Rearmed.
The game is an updated version of an 8-bit NES classic where you use a bionic arm to navigate through levels and defeat bad guys. True to the 8-bit gaming age, this game requires a huge amount of dedication to complete (also see Megaman 9!). The only thing weird about Bionic Commando Rearmed is that I couldn’t understand why it was rated 18.
That was until today, where I did a little bit of research…
Bionic Commando Rearmed is rated 18 due to the original controversial ending being kept and graphically enhanced. I don’t really want to spoil anything, but for those who want to know as badly as I did, you can view the original ending below.
According to Capcom:
“It was a tough decision to make, but it came down to either paying homage to the original game and taking the higher rating hit, or to watering down one of the most important scenes of the original,” (Capcom commented in regards to the rating).
Well, I for one respect their decision. The huge amount of dedication gone into this update is obvious within minutes of playing this game. It really comes across as a labour of love.
Anyway, if you haven’t had the chance to play it I strongly advise you check it out. For 800MS points you are getting a fantastic deal considering some of the alternatives priced of that and above.
As part of increasing gamerscore, I thought I’d list some of the PC games available that allow you to play on Xbox Live and earn more achievements. All you need is your account details, and you can sign in when playing these games much like on your Xbox 360.
PC games which you can increase your gamerscore with:
Fallout 3
Quantum of Solace
Grand Theft Auto IV
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2
Lost Planet Extreme Condition – Colonies Edition
Universe at War: Earth Assault
Gears of War
The Club
Kane & Lynch – Dead Men
Halo 2
Shadowrun
Viva Pinata
The beauty of playing PC games with achievements is that if you have the same game on your Xbox 360, they count as separate games. Therefore you can achieve 1000 gamerscore on Fallout 3 (Xbox 360) and another 1000 on Fallout 3 (PC).
Another thing worth mentioning is that some of these games are PC exclusives. Dawn of War 2 will only be available on the PC (or so they say). Halo 2, whilst not exactly a PC exclusive, is the only version that contains achievements. So this game is definitely worth playing through again (it also comes with additional multiplayer maps and upgraded graphics. I myself have also played online at various times recently and have always been able to find loads of matches full of other players).
Whilst playing the excellent Lego Batman Xbox 360 game I came across an extremely frustrating level. Namely; the Wayne Manor bonus level.
On this level you need to collect 1 million Lego Studs. It appears I’m not the only one who got stuck as many of my friends have also told me how they have spent over 45 minutes trying to get the last few studs.
The place where I found the last remaining Lego Studs on the Wayne Manor level was on the part with the 5 blocks above the orange moving ones. The 4th block would not break, no matter how much I tried. After some mind-numbingly frustrating experimentation I found out you need to jump towards the screen to break it. Glitchy or what?
I used Clayface to double jump, and for invisible bricks I recommend Joker as being the best. His gun fires a lot faster, taking up a lot less time to complete the level.
