    Well, I'm getting there.

    22 games done so far, but it hasn't hit my completion too hard because most of them have been arcade games.

    If I can figure out a quick one for Gyromancer, and pop Dead Space Ignition, all my downloaded games will be done, and then it's time to start cracking open the box with all the retail games in.

    Think at this point, with just a few days left, I need to decide whether to focus on games I'm actually planning to play, or games that will get me a quickie for the Dive, and can then be recovered easily

    It should always be about what you want to play.

    Cleared my original dive list, but now the final sale deals are up I've picked up Xcom, Crysis, Red Alert 3, and Prey to dive before I start the recovery. Any achievement tips for those guys?
    For Prey this only takes a few mins:
    Prey (2006)1: Last CallThe 1: Last Call achievement in Prey (2006) worth 10 pointsComplete "Last Call"

    but Retro Gamer is a decent alternative.

    And for Crysis this is super fast if you find a turtle on the beach at the beginning:
    CrysisZoologyThe Zoology achievement in Crysis worth 12 pointsPick up an animal

    If you do find a turtle on the beach and pick it up for the achievement, don't forget to boot it in to the air because it's hilarious! laugh

    The new leaderboard seems to be incorrect.

    It states that I need 166 achievements for recovery wheres I actually need 460ish

    That'll probably run you about 10-15 minutes. It's the first thing in the story and it's super easy. Holds your hand the entire way.

    At any rate, my dive's been a slow process to this point, but I'm on track to go lower than last year. I just have Kinect stuff to get started and I also have to decide if I want to add Spartacus Legends or not (and from what I've seen/read, it may not be worth the precious space on my hard drive)

    Anyone have any ideas for the best achievement in any of the following?
    Armored Core For Answer
    Dungeon Siege III
    Ninety-Nine Nights
    Samurai Warriors 2: Empires
    Spectral Force 3: Innocent Rage
    Star Ocean: The Last Hope
    The Last Remnant
    World Series of Poker 2008
    In Dungeon Siege 3, your best bet is to get one other person and get this one:
    Dungeon Siege IIIJinxThe Jinx achievement in Dungeon Siege III worth 13 pointsBe part of a conversation wherein four players are all in agreement on what to say.

    Otherwise, you're stuck just getting the first progression achievement. Good luck!

    I second that on Crysis. For Prey, if you have a friend diving it you might go for a multiplayer achievement:
    Prey (2006)Rank OneThe Rank One achievement in Prey (2006) worth 47 pointsWin a Ranked Multiplayer Match
    It doesn't take any time at all if you can get a lobby. Back when I did it, MP was completely dead - I never saw another player other than my boosting partner through the entire process.

    Thanks, I didn't think of that one. I already had a saved game from playing earlier that had some progression so I ended up getting this one in about 45min or so:

    Dungeon Siege IIISecret AchievementThe Secret Achievement achievement in Dungeon Siege III worth 6 pointsContinue playing to unlock this secret achievement

    Yep. Start a dive and don't click 'Finish Dive'.
