    What an awful selection…

    • Choskie

      Because you’ll have to put some work in? It’s called a “challenge” for a reason, buddy.

      • Anonymous

        No, because it 3 horrible games and Contra

        • Diego Hermosilla

          Nope, 2 horrible games ,Earthworm Jim HD and Contra.

          • http://twitter.com/Navarin Buster Wolf

            Please, Earthworm Jim HD was terrible but that’s Gameloft for you.

        Playing videogames shouldn’t be work.

    Old school!

  • Adrian Bolstridge

    I appreciate this list being as varied and ‘older’ than most of the previous weeks lists. Several games have been repeated on the Cheeve Challenges and it’s nice to see some different titles on here. Let’s show some love to the backlog!

    • Choskie

      This. Keep up the good work, PlayXBLA! This week, it could actually be a CHALLENGE to meet the entry requirements. Down with the whining haters! :D

  • Anonymous

    I have 8 out of 12 but I’m not about to play Bejeweled 2… I suck at it. :(

  • mightywombat

    Have all the games but Magic. Bejeweled’s achievements are such a pain though.

  • Anonymous

    Bejeweled 2, that’s just mean. :-)

  • http://twitter.com/AntaraelDulacre Antarael Dulacre

    Have 3 of the 4 Games… but this is….NO just NO lol

  • ClarkFury

    The bejeweled achieves aren’t even the relatively normal/easy to get ones. I mean finity mode = 280levels of endless sooo yeah

    • trent82

      I have all of the achievements in that game, but I do wonder if whoever picked that finity mode achievement realizes that it takes roughly 150 hours of endless mode to even unlock finity mode. That game was rough…I finished it in 2006 while listening to podcasts throughout the summer and fall.

      • ClarkFury

        ya the game is rough. game reset endless mode more than once for me and family. i like how you finished it over 2 season tho! lol

  • chris

    have all games this time, well i will when i get Magic: The Gathering – Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012 from pic of day.
    do pic of day winners on friday usually get code same day or wait till monday?
    will also have to see ow good i am at bejeweled as no achievements for it yet, not played.

  • Anonymous

    Have a great weekend everyone.

  • Shaun

    Glad to see some older games on the achievement list. However, there aren’t actually enough hours in the challenge to get all of the Bejeweled 2 ones if you haven’t started the game! Finity mode takes about 250 hours or so to unlock in the first place.

    • Choskie

      There’s 15 other achievements you can earn, therefore your arguement isn’t valid. They still give you enough to meet the requirements, so you can’t complain.

      • Shaun

        Had I made a complaint you’d have a point. Just thought I’d point it out before people poured their time into that one without realising.

  • Slayer1189

    I think this weekend challenge is great. Good to see older games getting put in and could even encourage me to purchase old games if this trend keeps up :)

    I would like to more of difficulty range in the achievements. e.g. contra could have a couple of easy ones, then clear in 12 minutes then 1 credit the game. That trend would mean most gamers could enter with 3 achievements in all games with alittle work. Good gamers could get it with 4 achievements in 3 games.

    I think this could result in more purchases of XBLA games but not everyone would manage to meet the requirements meaning gamers would have more to drive to enter with a greater chance of winning. e.g 50 people purchase games to enter, but only 20 manage it. Each person who did it has a slightly better chance of winning. If the challenges are easy, 48 of the 50 may manage it and so people may not want to pay for games at those odds.

    I love the playXBLA challenge keep up the great work guys.

    p.s I know the challenges used to be much harder and not many people applied but I think this site is much more known now and they wouldn’t have to become exdtremely hard to enter as that would put people off even bothering to try.

  • Slam Shot Sam

    Don’t own and not interested in any of these. Hopefully there’ll be a better offering for me next weekend.

  • chris

    just sent email then, and no i did not get finity mode. i think the only way people would be able to enter this is if they had all games or the other 3 games and not bejeweled 2

  • Anonymous

    AWESOME! I was a winner of the Weekend Challenge :-)

    • chris

      congrats. i am guessing that since you have got a reply that you have won then that means that since i did not get a reply yet that i did not win. oh well.
