Not too bad. Almost done with the 360 version. Certainly worth the price.

are the achievements identical?

Also, does anyone know if you can earn these achievements offline and then upload them to XBL just like with the 360?

I ask because sometimes I travel and would like to keep earning achievements when on the road with my laptop rather than trying to drag my Xbox everywhere.
Big sama - I guess since our team didn't make I should play all the games I was saving.

Well worth that price to anyone interested. Capcom did a great job with the engine on PC as well :)

@ Gam3r xUSAx - The achievements are identical (excluding the DLC ones, because the PC version doesn't have DLC), but they are completely independent lists.

And yes you can earn G4WL achievements offline, sign in and have them take affect.
I once got an achievement offline for a G4WL game (Flatout UC i think?), then before signing in got some achievements on xbox; signed into G4WL on Flatout and the achievement just disappeared. So i recommend you don't get any xbox achievements before you sign in to update the G4WL achievements though :)

I owned this from a steam deal already, but found it to be very rage-inducing.
Heroic Blanket - BF3 DLC is all 50% off. Looks like its time to pick it up.

I'm not sure about this specific game, but I got all the achievements for fallout 3 on my laptop which was only played traveling too and from uni so it was never connected to the internet once when I played the game.

After I finished it I connected it to the net at home and it uploaded all the achievements fine.

You can earn achievements offline in Resident Evil 5. That doesn't hold true for all GFWL games, though.

I think its not a very good deal, as the publisher released the original dvd version for only 9,99 € here (which is $14.99 / £9.99). Its also boxed like the old days where the games comes with hardpaper covers :-)
Boosters welcome: PM me on XBL or on TA if you want to boost a game, which i own!

So annoying, I can't buy this at this price. When trying to buy it in either us dollars or sterling I am told that it's not available in my region. I can buy it on the xbox live marketplace at full price though.

I really wanted it!

I'm really debating this.. I love Resident Evil.. each title in it's own way (minus Survivors, lol) I wouldn't mind playing this again for some chievos..
