Achievement-O-Matic Trivia Quiz

Answer: Achieved an 8x band multiplier

"Rock Band 2", because it utilizes four different instruments, has many different achievements for Vocals, Drums, Guitar, and Bass. 'Overdrive Overdose' is one of the few that applies to all four instruments at once. When each instrument lets off Overdrive, each one contributes a 2x multiplier to the overall score for the duration of the bonus. Letting off all four lets off an 8x multiplier.
Using Overdrive for ninety seconds gives you the 'Bachman-Turner Award', a clear nod to the band Bachman-Turner Overdrive. 'Solid Gold, Baby!' is achieved for a single gold starred song and 'Million Point Club' is given for a million points in one song.
The 'Overdrive Overdose' achievement gives 25 Gamerpoints, just like the other three achievements noted.

Answer: Weighted Companion Cube

"Portal", released on the Xbox 360 as part of Valve's "Half-Life 2: Orange Box" collection, was one of the most critically-lauded games of 2007. Although quite short, the game was highly praised for its tongue-in-cheek dark humour, its highly-innovative puzzle mechanics, and the many quotes and features talked about for years after its initial release.

The Weighted Companion Cube, a device found in later levels of the game, is noticeable because of a heart on each of its six sides. Players will need to kill their beloved friend and partner in a fiery euthanized manner, and because of this the 'Fratricide' achievement is a given if you beat the game.

After the end credits, players will discover that the Cube is alive and well and that the much-sought-after cake is, in fact, not a lie. 'Fratricide' will result in a mere 5 Gamerpoints.

Answer: You've beaten the game

"Castle Crashers", solely on the XBLA, is one of the more popular titles to make an appearance in terms of downloaded games. The game, which supports up to four players at once, is a fun hack-and-slash side-scroller in which the player character(s) must save four princesses who have been captured by various wizards. To do this, they need to cross various different terrains, enter castles and fortresses, and even fight alien hominids in space. Coincidentally the game company responsible, The Behemoth, also created "Alien Hominid" for the Gamecube and Playstation 2; this later appeared on XBLA. 'Traditional' simply means you've completed the game, saving all four princesses on any of the many characters available to play.

It contributed 20 Gamerpoints to your account.

Answer: Fifty

Hacking is a relatively major part of the gameplay found in 2KGames' "BioShock", released in 2007 for the Xbox 360. In order to hack into many of the electronic items in the game (such as video cameras), the player must complete a small minigame in a certain allotted time in order to finish the task.

This mostly concerns laying pipes to facilitate the flow of water. Along the course of the game, players can also find upgrades to their hacking ability which will allow for greater success or more ease in the eventually mechanical process later in the game. 'Skilled Hacker' equates to fifty successful hackings and it results in 40 Gamerpoints. Similar achievements are gained from hacking specific items (ie. vending machines or turrets). The player will earn 5 Gamerpoints for hacking their first item in the game.

Answer: Fallout 3

Achieving this- erm...achievement- simply means that you ended up completing your G.O.A.T. examination before departing from Vault 101 in the beginning of the game. By doing this, you've collected the stats you need to begin the game and commence leveling up.

Another achievement is given to players who receive their Pip-Boy 3000. This is known as the 'Vault 101 Citizenship Award'. 'The G.O.A.T. Whisperer' awards the player with 10 Gamerpoints and is pretty much mandatory for completion. Of course, they don't really matter for players since you can reconfigure your stats before leaving the vault, but some of the scenarios are kind of funny.

Answer: 'Mano-A-Mano'

'Mano-A-Mano' is the only one of the selections to be obtained by fighting normal enemies in hand-to-hand combat; it doesn't pertain to the boss battles at all. 'Poisoned Ivy' gives players 50 Gamerpoints as a result of defeating Poison Ivy's giant Titan Ivy creature. 'Baneful Payback' is an achievement worth only 25 Gamerpoints, but you claim it after defeating Bane. 'Crocodile Tears' is another 50 Gamerpoint achievement though it's claimed by defeating the Killer Croc in Gotham's sewers. 'Mano-A-Mano' is only worth 10 Gamerpoints though it's no big deal. Only one of the achievements in the game, 'Perfect Knight', gives more than 50 Gamerpoints, and you need to get 100% completion to get it.

Answer: No

Let's start with this: the original "Gears of War", made by Epic Games and released on the Xbox 360 in 2006 was one of the more popular first-person shooters released on the console in its early days. Notable for its cover system and enhanced graphics, players were pleased to hear of the sequel released two years later.

In the original "Gears of War", the 'Seriously...' achievement was claimed online after the player had killed 10,000 players in versus ranked matches. "Gears of War 2" took this a step further. Once the player account has killed a total of 100,000 in any difficulty or mode, they would be able to claim a total of 50 Gamerpoints. A number of achievements in this game total 50 or 75 Gamerpoints, but one actually reaches 150 Gamerpoints. 'Suicide Missionary' requires that the player beat the game on insane difficulty.

Answer: Rotten Egg

In order to claim this achievement, you must have thrown one of the few Rotten Eggs found in the game at the face of any Majini enemy found in the villages and settings of "Resident Evil 5's" 'Kijiji'. Many different eggs can be found all over the game though players may wish to eat these to claim the 'Egg Hunt' achievement instead. Both achievements will reward the player with 15 Gamerpoints though you get the same amount of points for beating each portion of the game on any difficulty. Players really trying for points may wish to try and get 70 by completing the game on Professional Mode or by using their knife to deflect arrows in the 'Be The Knife' achievement (for 60 Gamerpoints).

Answer: False

Although 'The Completionist' implies that you have mastered the game's various aspects, it really only pertains to the emotions or expressions learned by both the protagonist and his pet dog. Once every single one is obtained, learned through experience or others' examples, or collected through the progression of morality, this 50 Gamerpoint achievement will be yours.

It's not the best result though. Four different achievements can be obtained in the game (three of which come from game completion altogether) which equate to a total of 100 Gamerpoints each.

Answer: 20

While 'Longevity Master's' unique concept of forcing the player to spend a complete fifty hours within the game may seem like it constitutes a better reward, you may be surprised to find that no matter what achievement you're claiming within the original "Viva Pinata" you'll be receiving a total of 20 Gamerpoints. While 'Longevity Master' requires fifty hours, the 'Longevity' title on its own only require ten.
Both sequels to the game, "Party Animals" and "Trouble in Paradise", opt not to keep the constant Gamerpoints values.
