Survival Mode and Rewards!

While technically this has nothing do with our challenge, I felt I had the duty to report that the Left 4 Dead DCL, "Survival", has been officially posted in the Xbox Live Marketplace. Well, actually, it was put up about 3 hours ago, but I had pick to play it first or report on it first. My choice was gaming, of course.

Sadly, it offers no new achievements. I'm sort of okay with that, as I find adding more achievements to the original 1,000 a bit lack luster and unappealing when it is only for multiplayer or character based actions. I am, however, perfectly fine with adding new achievements/points when it is for an expansion, such is the case with Fallout 3 and Fable 2. Though, it should be said that with the new "Survival" mode, it does make getting the legendary Zombie Genocidist achievement a million times easier. I mean, my average survival game was 4 minutes. I averaged roughly 200 zombies per game.

In other orginization-related news, I would like to mention that I'm looking into offering "incentives" to the participants that reach certain milestones within our challenge. I need to get with the co-chairs of this committy and a few other people, but I believe I'll be able to roll out some sort or incentive program that will reward those gamers out there that are really striving for that 100K.

Well, that's all for now. Happy gaming!
