Superfan Shawn Baxter is back with a fresh new set of wallpapers for Lost Planet Colonies! Though they look great on a desktop, hese 6 (yes, 6!) wallpapers were specially made for easy import onto your XBox 360.
Creating a custom background requires a few extra steps, but isn’t hard and is totally worth it in terms of awesome. If you’ve never done it before, read this thread for some quick tips on how to get it done, and check here for all the other wallpapers.
Nerve.com put together a nice Top 10 list of the greatest Fire Levels in gaming history, complete with videos. With winners from Mega Man, Resident Evil, and Super Ghouls n’ Ghosts, the list is dominated by Capcom, showing that even when you’re doing a cliched level type, you can still do it RIGHT.
I’d personally nominate “Crimson River” from Lost Planet Colonies as well
Lost Planet Colonies is on the streets, and the achievements are in. If you haven’t already discovered them during your weekend orgies of playing (obvious from some of your already-sickeningly-high levels), here they are in convenient pixel form:

Bronze winner- win 10 online battles 10
Silver winner- win 25 online battles 20

If you haven’t heard me beat this drum before, Lost Planet Colonies is the best dang platinum edition package you’ll find anywhere. For the low, low price of 30 bucks, it comes packed with new game types (crazy new game types), new weapons, new characters, and of course 1,000 brand-new XBox 360 achievement points.
Below you’ll find details on ten more of the new achievements (if you missed the first ten, check here).
FYI, in “Score Attack” mode, each enemy and destructible object has points assigned to it, and you rack up points depending on how you defeat the enemy. “Trial Battle Mode” gives you all-boss, all the time action, and you get to battle each of the game’s Bosses, one after another, without having to bother with blasting their puny minions.
Trial Master- Clear Trial Battle Mode on Extreme Difficulty 40
Score Attack Clear –Clear Score Attack mode 5
Silver Scorer – 10,000,000 points in score attack mode 10
Gold Scorer- 100,000,000 points is score attack mode 30
Platinum Scorer- 300,000,000 40
Match Rookie – Fight to the finish in one online battle 5
One of the coolest things in Lost Planet was the Akrid, the insect-like alien lifeforms you are constantly battling against. In Colonies, you can take the battle to the next level: By playing as an Akrid! Hey, as the old saying goes, “If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em”. Here’s a video of Akrid Hunter mode in action.
As some of you already know, the upcoming Lost Planet: Extreme Condition Colonies Edition isn’t just your typical “Platinum Hits” re-release. It comes instead packed to the brim with new features, levels, weapons and multiplayer gameplay modes. In addition, there are new achievements to obtain, up to a full list of 1000 points. Here are 10 of the 50 new achievements you can look forward to, some of which you may already be familiar with. Stay tuned for more achievements coming soon!

Since Lost Planet, Extreme Condition Colonies Edition is coming out in a few weeks, we posted up a new batch of Akrid bashing, egg hoarding screenshots to whet your appetite some more. Click on the image above to see the whole high-resolution Flickr set.
Lost Planet: Extreme Condition Colonies Edition (yes, it’s another triumph of elegant naming) is coming, and just went gold (hit the jump for the full press release).
While this is technically considered the “platinum edition” of the original Lost Planet, as a LP fan I feel that description really sells it short, so forgive me while I rant from my icy, LP Colonies soapbox about why this game is full of win:
1) Lost Planet Colonies is a LOT of game for your dollar. You’ve got a ton of new maps, weapons, and gametypes (for both single-player and multiplayer mode). These new gametypes aren’t just phoning it in either.
The video above has a good breakdown of the new Akrid Egg Battle mode (although it doesn’t contain the footage of me hitting Lost Planet product manager Frank with an egg + knocking him off a ledge).
Akrid Hunter mode lets you play as 50 foot giant Akrid bugs (including scorpions, the rolly-poley bug, and more). Each bug has its own special attacks and abilities, like spitting fireballs, scorpion stinger, or turning into an aimable bug bowling ball and crushing puny humans. This one mode by itself is practically a whole new game.
2) For the XBL achievement “enthusiasts” out there, this title also has 1,000 new points for you to fluff up that gamerscore.
3) As a “platinum edition,” the game is only thirty bucks.
Hit the jump for that press release I promised you…
We have a new batch sweet new screenshots from the upcoming Lost Planet Colonies. Although the screens are a bit, er, “petite,” they include some big action, including shots of the sweet new Akrid Hunter mode, as well as Egg Hunt and some single-player bosses. These are giant bugs fighting giant robots in space, people!
Not only do I not know how to make one of these things, I don’t even know where to buy the stuff you would need to put it together. Also I am afraid of electricity, which this thing seems to have harnessed somehow.
We have a slew of new Lost Planet: Extreme Condition Colonies Edition screenshots and art for ya! The art shows off four new playable characters: The tough looking Eraser, the robotic PT-76, and new Lost Planet ladies Snow Bunnie and Valkyrie. In addition, there’s a couple of new shots of the new Akrid Hunter mode in action.
As always, you can check them all out by going to our Flickr pool by clicking on the image above.
PS Lost Planet super-fan Snow Infernus will only be able to play as Snow Bunnie.
