Finally, some XBLA news that doesn’t make me want to stab someone with a rusty screwdriver. The folks over at Xbox360Achievements.org areshowing offthe list of achievements for the upcoming Live Arcade port ofTrigger Heart Exelica.
This makes me very happy for two reasons: First off, the achievements are tough, which is an adjective that should always have a place when talking about a good shooter. Secondly, the fact that there is now a list of achievements helps to solidify that one of my favorite Dreamcast games is indeed headed for XBLA, and that it wasn’t all some fantasy I cooked up in my worm-ridden brain. You can check out the full list and some gameplay footage from the original version after the jump. Who’s excited?
