Iron Brigade Rise of the Martian Bear DLC guide

Welcome back to the regiment, marine! That’s right, our very first big guide is back for the DLC nearly a year since the original release. Five new levels, two new survival levels, and over 50 pieces of loot and we’ve got the how-to to all of it. Big thanks to our Andrew Crews, Ryan Reynolds, Shawn Saris and his friend Tyler for helping us get through this challenging installment of Iron Brigade DLC. The DLC is currently available for 400 MSP and you can check out our review if you’re not sure you whether or not you should be jumping back into this game after it’s been so long.

For those of you who are diving back in or already have, we’ve got level guides to each of the five levels including what loot is acquired on those levels (so you don’t have to check the loot-specific guide) and strategies for getting gold medals (though they aren’t necessary for achievements this time around) and of course a wave breakdown for each. On top of that we’ve got the traditional loot guide complete with images for all the weapons, chassis and emplacements including all the stats and unlock locations. Lastly we have our guides to both survival maps, both of which provide quite a bit of a challenge. On top of that, each level and survival level have videos accompanying them, so do feel free to check those out if reading is too much work for you (the link can be found in the actual page if you want both). Without further a do, enjoy your guide to the Rise of the Martian Bear!

Joe Danger: Special Edition – Guide to Danger!

It’s Jooooooooe Danger time! All the daredevil bike riding, awesome leaping, target landing, trick flipping action is here on XBLA and we’ve got the guide to help you stay in the saddle. Thanks to Todd Schlickbernd for the text and Shawn Saris for the videos, working in tandem to ensure all the information you need is readily available.

As Joe Danger: Special Edition is, for lack of a better word, a 2.5D puzzle/platformer on a bike. That means a lot of the work is on your end, but to make life easier we’ve got tons of tips and bits of of information you may not have known about how to be successful at Joe Danger: SE. We’ve got tips for tricks, and tricks for scoring, and scoring tips! There’s also a quick run down of the tricks and of the level creator for those interested. The level builder guide will be at the bottom.

The “special” part of Joe Danger: Special Edition, along with the lab, includes pro medals! These pro medals unlock cool costume content and gamerpics, so we’ve got a guide for that as well.

As always if you have any questions or can’t find answers here you’re looking for, send queries to todd@xblafans.com. Good luck using our guide to beat our scores on the leaderboards! Hit the jump for the links and videos.

Dungeon Defenders Insane Challenge Guide Hub

 

Welcome to the XBLAFans Dungeon Defenders Insane Challenge Guide. We would like to thank RhinoStarr, ThC x LeThaL and the multitude of people who filled the fourth spot for their tireless work, without them this guide would not have happened. The original guide was targeted at the easy – hard difficulties, the reasoning for a completely separate guide for the hardest difficulty challenges is that Dungeon Defenders is really broken into two parts. Early game and end game, insane is of course end game.

It has completely new drops, new formations of waves, MUCH harder enemies and requires the most intense team work imaginable. If you want to go the whole nine yards and complete all insane challenges, be prepared to sink in many hours and start to form a regular team.

You will need very specific character set ups, turret placements and equipment to pass many of these levels. Not to say you might get lucky with some of them, it won’t happen with them all though. The guide will work under the assumption that you know the levels and emplacements mentioned, as well as a fluent understanding of characters and items. If you don’t then we suggest you continue to level your characters and gather equipment.

If you are on the cusp of being able to begin your insane adventure but still need to polish some characters, then take a look at our Insane Preparation Tips page, it will show you where to grind for the fastest exp and the best loot.

War of the Worlds guide

Alas, the War of the Worlds has finally been conquered. Major props to our video guide walkthrough hero, Shawn Saris and his undying tenacity in the face of adversity and Martian death beam laser pain. It’s been a while, so thank you for staying with us, though many of you may have already watched the videos on your own. Now this walkthrough is for a platforming puzzler, and for the most part this game is timing and trial and error. However we have endeavored to point out new things, new enemies, detail some of the ways in which the environment can be used and abused as per each level. Be sure to take advantage of the text cues, but ultimately to get a 200/200 we staunchly recommend watching the videos in each walkthrough page. If unsure whether or not to purchase this game, please read our review.

  2. Sussex Gardens
  3. Edgeware Road (Level 3)
  4. Bathurst Mews, Bayswater Road (Level 4 & 5)

  11. Midland Grand Hotel, Martian Cylinder, Primrose Hill (Level 14, 15 & 16)
There you have it. We hope the videos are helpful, and again ideally watch the videos all the way through. If there’s a part that you’re stuck on and you are unable to watch the videos for any reason and as such need further text support, please email us at tips@xblafans.com or our Guide Coordinator directly at todd@xblafans.com.

Dungeon Defenders super guide

Dungeon Defenders, after a whole year of being postponed, is finally out and flaunting its massive amount of content all over the place! Admittedly, it’s quite a bit to take on, just as it is quite a bit to learn for the players. So, in true XBLAFans fashion, we’ve got a guide to help those in need! Huge thanks to Zac Lace, Andrew Crews, Todd Schlickbernd and Shawn Saris for their work on this guide. Now, for our readers, there’s a LOT going on in this game and unlike some of our other games, a lot of it is difficult to complete without having tons of good gear and high level characters, so we haven’t completed everything yet. Initially there is a full level guide and character guides to get started with, as well as an FAQ for the multitude of questions people surely have about the details of this game, and an Accomplishment list for the achievement lovers. Not sure if the game is for you? Check out our review! If you like video guides, we have those as well here.

Deadliest Warrior Legends: Slice Mode Rewards

Deadliest Warrior Legends released this Wednesday, and while we don’t have an official review up on the site yet, we can say it is much better than the original. The entire game feels more fluid. One of the best parts to the Deadliest Warrior games is the unique weapons. Deadliest Warrior Legends pushes this to a whole new level.

Upon killing 25 enemies during a slice mode challenge (you need to have beaten arcade mode with each character to even have this option), players will be rewarded with an extra special set of weapons for each character. These range from a flute to a fish with a half dozen other random ones in between. We have the full list below:
