After my first blog entry to the Magic: The Gathering Xbox Live game and with the new 2012 version I thought I could do it again and gather all ways to solve the challenges in the game for everyone to try them out and get the achievements for this.

Challenge: Rumble in the Jungle (vs. Garruk Wildspeaker)

Both you and Garruk have only 2 life. Using the few creatures you still have left, blunt Garruk’s final assault and defeat him.

This one is pretty easy:

• Garruk will attack you
• Block with ‘Runeclaw Bear’ and ‘Barony Vampire’
• You will know enter your Main Phase and got only 1 life left
• Play the Swamp (or just press Y to get into the Combat Phase)
• Attack with ‘Gloomhunter’

Congratulations you won your first Challenge and you got your ‘Magic: The Puzzling’ Achievement

Challenge: In the Spider’s Web (vs. Kiora Atua)

Kiora has 6 life while you only have 1. Negate Kiora’s lethal attack, then defeat her.

• Kiora will attack you with ‘Storm Crow’
• Block with your untapped ‘Furnace Whelp’
• You draw a Basic Land and play it
• Attack with both of your ‘Furnace Whelp’s
• Pause the game directly after Kiora blocked your ‘Furnace Whelp’ with her ‘Giant Spider’
• Activate the Ability of your other ‘Furnace Whelp’ and use all your Mana

more coming soon …

After the GamesCom in Cologne I was quite excited, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit was really great. Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood was also a “must have” game, now … after I played them I’m quite dissapointed.

Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood:
Don’t get me wrong I like that game but it has some things I can’t understand. First of all the ending of the Singleplayer, until then the game was awesome (okay again crappy controlls), texture popups, some bugs (i got stuck in the aqueduct after renovating it). The Multiplayer is kind of strange. There is a action to avoid getting killed but it seems that it doesnt work or I’m to slow because my thumb is the whole time on “X”.

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit
I can tell you after the GamesCom I was really excited to play this game. Now after I played it I can tell you, if you are a normal racing-game player, don’t even think about getting this game. It’s so damn difficult after you reached the exotic Series. After 20 tracks as racer I couldn’t get any Gold medals anymore. Why? Everytime you do a Takedown (as racer: destroy an other racer) the Racer falls back, regenerate completely and is back on the track. EMPs doesn’t work in SP and I didn’t try them in MP. I don’t know I can’t get room between me and the second, if I even get the first place, because you can choose the fastes car in the game but the racers and cops will be behind you after the next turn. I promise. And the problem with that is, you can’t even turn it off.

GamesCom 2010 ist zu ende und ich habe wieder viel gesehen was mich überrascht, enttäuscht und verwundert hat. Mit mehr Ausstellern und Besuchern nimmt man doch automatisch an das auch mehr zu sehen bzw. zutun ist. Leider hatten wir schon all das was uns interessiert Donnerstag (1. Tag) gesehen in den Folgenden Tagen war einfach nur noch Guild Wars 2 testen und Loot abgreifen. Viele Überraschungen gab es wie z.B. Rage, welches ich vorher nicht beachtet habe es aber echt gut aussieht und vielversprechend ist. Enttäuschend waren die Mafia 2 and Portal 2 Stände, denn bei Mafia 2 wurde nur die Demo gezeigt die man sich ja schon seid Wochen runterladen konnte (auch wenn diese Demo nicht wirklich toll aussah) hinzu kommt noch, dass man sich dort Stundenlang anstellt (wir hatten Glück und sind nach einer halben Stunde rein gekommen) und nicht einmal ein T-Shirt bekommt. Ebenso bei Portal 2, dort wurden die Trailer gezeigt von den einzelnen Testkammern die ebenfalls sehr lange online zur Verfügung stehen und ein T-Shirt gab es auch nicht. Die größte Überraschung war Guild Wars 2, ich hatte nicht gedachte das es sich so gut spielen lässt und es so gut aussieht. Ich kann kaum das Release erwarten.

I did the same post some time ago. But someone mentioned that the Challenges aren’t solvable the way I wrote it. And yes after an update there are some differences.
