Batman: Arkham City and Saw II

There are three achievements that require players to put their game discs into their trays tomorrow, and we're here to remind you about them. The first game isn't a particularly festive offering, but nevertheless, Saw 2: Flesh & Blood requires gamers to play a little of the game.

Saw 2: Flesh & Blood Secret Achievement The Secret Achievement achievement in Saw 2: Flesh & Blood worth 20 pointsContinue playing to unlock this secret achievement.


The next pair of achievements will not pop tomorrow for those players who want to get them without resetting their Xbox clock. However, Batman: Arkham City and Batman: Arkham City (PC) both require players to visit Calendar Man on 12 specific days spread across the year. Tomorrow represents the third specific date for Xbox 360 players, but only the second opportunity for PC players.

Batman: Arkham City Storyteller The Storyteller achievement in Batman: Arkham City worth 26 pointsHave 12 murderous dates with Calendar Man

Batman: Arkham City (PC) Storyteller The Storyteller achievement in Batman: Arkham City (PC) worth 39 pointsHave 12 murderous dates with Calendar Man


The next date that players will need to make a note of is New Year's day. For a full list of dates, check out the great work of the community solutions.

...and remember you can always go offline and mess with the clock TODAY to visit 11 times, then do the 12th online tomorrow if you want the timestamp.

Its completely pointless for you to keep posting the storyteller achievement for the holidays of this year seeing as you have to do all 12 of TW holidays within the same year. It is completely impossible for people to get the achievement legitly using the holidays if this year. It would make more sense to start posting these next year, when the first legit holiday that could count for the achievement happens. Jan 1st all the way to Dec 25th... of 2012.

It doesn't have to be all in one calendar year. The game adjusts for the year. When I popped Storyteller, I went to dates in both 2011 and 2012.

I was going to do all the non-Christmas days for PC today, and pop it with a timestamp tomorrow. But stupid me kept postponing rearranging my room with the 360 in it to make room for a Christmas gift TV, until today. So instead of doing the very time consuming (on PC anyways) preparation for this, I'm moving furniture... there's always New Year's I guess.

I should do Saw II one of these days but I got really frustrated with the puzzles in the first one. Some of them were really annoying.

Yeah I'm not sure where you got the idea ricky horror that these needed to be done in one calendar year. That would make this achievement very annoying. I'm shocked that no one is on here complaining their girlfriend/wife won't allow them on during Christmas for 5 minutes to take care of their achievement.
