AH: Not Interested by Microsoft's Game Room?
Well, it has achievements. Interested now?

Microsoft are using Gamerscore as the cherry on top to tempt more gamers into purchasing games in the Game Room. Visiting an arcade in the past would result in empty pockets and possibly someone’s drink spilt over you, now however, the latter will be replaced with Gamerscore added to your Gamertag.
Will the inclusion of achievements make you think twice about Game Room?
Like traditional full retail games, the Games Room will allow players to gain a full 1000G spread across 56 achievements for doing various tasks like spending time playing games, earning medals, decorating your Game Room with themes and mascots, and also visiting your friends’ Game Rooms. Although no detail has been given as to how visiting a friend’s room would work, as it has noted you won’t be able to roam free in any other Game Room but your own.

AH: The Weekend Hunt
Those of you who listened to this weeks Gamers Rapport, would know something’s been cooking in the Community pot for a little while, and now is the big reveal.
Setting up groups for hunting multiplayer and co-op achievements, or even playing together as a community, is always something that goes down well but can sometimes do with a bit more exposure. So from now on, hopefully every Friday, I’m going to be posting right here with any gaming event happening in the coming weekend that you, the community, are invited to take part in.
We want as many community run events as possible, so if you’re planning one, post the details in this AH group thread.For the first hunt, HGN_Kevin is looking for people to join in gathering the Prey multiplayer achievements.
On Saturday, starting at 1 PM PST and ending around 6 PM-7 PM PST or until everyone’s done getting achievements.
If you want in, contact Kevin through his gamertag: NightHawk673We also have URGGrifball hosting Battlefield: Bad Company 2 for some achievements and general multiplayer fun.
Things will be kicking off Saturday 6:00 GMT, until whenever.

Mapping Reach: FUD Delivers
Dani continues his quest to position ‘Forward Unto Dawn‘ as the spiritual successor to ‘Ascendant Justice‘ – there’s a new article up called ‘Mapping Reach’, and it’s a doozy. It takes a close look at the tidbits about map layout we’ve been served so far, and does a spectacular job of putting forth some ideas about what might be coming later this year. Great attention to detail, great read. Check it out. Update: site is down right now (Monday, 8:54pm UTC), sit tight! Update 2: Looks like things are back to normal, mostly. Update 3: we’ve set up a temporary home for this article (and any other FUD articles Dani manages to get online, while his site is down).(Louis Wu 15:11:50 UTC)

Spring Elite Bundle Gets Sweeter
Looks like Best Buy is stepping up the recent Xbox Elite Spring Bundle (first presented by Amazon, then by Gamestop) – you can still get an Elite with Forza 3 and ODST for $300 – but now you get a $50 gift card, too. Noice! (In Australia, it’s called the ‘Elite Autumn Pack’, and runs $449 (AUD). That’s significantly more than its US counterpart (at the moment, it’s about $410, US) – but it’s still a better deal than it used to be.)(Louis Wu 13:26:24 UTC)
