I'm coming for you, Stallion

No, not with total gamerscore. That would be stupid. What I'm talking about is 360voice's genre leaderboards, most specifically the Sandbox one, which Stallion is currently #1 on. I love sandbox games, and I noticed the other day that I own pretty much all of them. So my long-term goal is to 1000 every single sandbox game out there.

Games Fshguy currently tracks as sandbox:

ASSASSIN'S CREED
Done.

BULLY

I own this, and it isn't too hard, so I hear.

CRACKDOWN
Done.

DEAD RISING
I own this. It shouldn't be too hard, just a little time consuming. 14 hours straight would be totally doable on a day off of work.

GTA IV
I own this, and have a 900 on it. I have to play through the story mode entirely to get Chain Reaction, as it glitched on me and I decided to just clear out my saves and restart. The other achievements are all online. I think it's best if I wait for the online to die out, as even the last time I played it, it was alive enough to make AWP boosting a bitch.5.

JUST CAUSE
I own this, and it's easy.

MERCENARIES 2

The glitchy achievements scare me a little, but I heard it's only a little on the time-consuming side and actually a pretty fun game.

SAINT'S ROW

Done.

SAINT'S ROW 2
Currently working on. All I have left is Kingpin. I should be halfway through the ranks by the end of the night.

SPIDERMAN 3
I took this game off my card with the nXe glitch, and I'm a little afraid to put it back on. This would definitely be the make-or-break one, as I'd have to practice the hell out of it before I felt comfortable putting it on my account.

SUPERMAN RETURNS

Done.

THE GODFATHER
I don't know too much about this game, only that it seems to have a fairly high rate of completion on TrueAchievements.

THE INCREDIBLE HULK

A superhero movie game? How hard can it be? (disregard what I just said about Spiderman 3)

Other games:

OBLIVION

You never have to level-grind in this game, and one of the biggest features of RPGs are gone. I'd consider this a sandbox hack+slash more than I would an RPG. It's done.


TONY HAWK'S AMERICAN WASTELAND

I mean, come on. The entire play area is one big unbroken map. It's done.

TONY HAWK'S PROJECT 8

Not only is it the same deal as above, but there's no story to it. Sandbox if I ever saw one. I only have 500-odd on it, but I definitely think I could do it if given time.

TONY HAWK'S PROVING GROUNDS
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH.... no. Never. I'm not even going to consider this unless it appears on the 360v genre list.

TRANSFORMERS
I haven't played it too much, but from what I saw it looked sandboxy. I own it and it's on my card at like a 15 or something.

SNEAK KING

Arcades really do belong in their own genre, but I consider the fact I have a 200 in this as an added bonus.


Consider any other games sandbox? Leave a comment.
