    Ok, here we go:

    First of all start up CARNAGE MODE, then chose the very first race Water Canal 1.

    Pick the default car that is being offered.

    Now onto the actual race:

    From the start fall back bit so you won't get bothered by the AI cars. Race through the aquaduct as you normally would in a type of game like this. Jumps give you Nitro which you need to save up for now. You will pass through 3 checkpoints (banners across the street).

    Shortly after passing the 3rd checkpoint keep to the left hand side of the road (do NOT enter the shortcut on the right hand side of the road) and you will see a ramp / jump. It's really hard to miss. It leads to the top of the buildings on the left side of the road.

    Approach the ramp from as far left as you can and drive on it so you would exit it on the top right side. Just before you leave the ramp press Ctrl on the keyboard and you'll use your Nitro. This will result in a powerfull jump.

    If all goes well you'll catch quite some airtime because of the jump and the subsequent drop onto the street (you'll have passed through the gap in the rail on top of the buildings).

    It may take a few tries but this is the first opportunity you'll get to obtain this achievement.
    If you fail, press ESC on your keyboard and choose to start over the race.

    In this game the H-key of your keyboard is your biggest friend. It gives you a hint for a possible match.

    So for this achievement simply abuse the H-key, followed by left clicking your mouse to choose the proposed match.

    If by any chance you run out of matches make sure you choose continue. Otherwise you'll get a new puzzle and you'd have to start all over again. After choosing continue, reshuffle and get back to clicking the H-key and the left mouse click.

    All of this should take around a minute. Congrats on an easy 35GS

    Completing an expert puzzle in five minutes or less difficult? Nah, not really. At least in this game that is.

    In MS Mahjong the H-key on your keyboard is your biggest friend. When you press it you get a hint on a possible match of stones.

    To get this achievement keep your left index finger above the H-key and keep your right hand ready to abuse the left click of the mouse. Press the H-key and then left click the match that is shown. Do this for the entire puzzle. It should take somewhere close to a minute.

    If at some point you have no more matches make sure to choose continue! Otherwise you'll get a new puzzle and we don't want that. Choose reshuffle and get back to clicking the H-key and the left mouse click. When the puzzle is solved you'll have gained an easy 10GS.

    Ok, this achievement is for moving buildings 500 times.

    First of all: do NOT attempt this before you have reached level 5! I did it before I hit that level and the ingame tracker did not increase! Moved thousands of buildings and got nothing.

    These are the steps you have to take to move a building 1 time:

    1. When you have reached level 5, click the yellow hard hat in the bottom left of your screen. This should make a pop-up appear with 4 icons (the second from the left being 4 arrows). (If you're level 5 there's no need to click any of the icons, you can only move buildings, so the game chooses that for you. If you're at a higher level I don't know if you have to click an icon to confirm your choice. If anyone has the answer to this, let me know and I'll add it into this solution.)
    2. Next click on any building that actually has room to move (i.e.: it won't count if you move a building onto the road or into shrubbery).
    3. Click on one of the arrows surrounding the building to move it.
    4. After you have moved it, if all arrows are green, click on the green check mark in the bottom right of the screen.
    5. You have now moved your building 1 time. Only 499 to go.....

    You can track your progress by clicking on the golden cup in the bottom left corner. In the screen that pops up, make sure you are in the 'General' section. The line you're looking for is called 'Move any building' . For me the achievement popped when I was just shy of 5-starring this task. The golden cup is also the go to area to check on your achievements (Xbox live section).

    So basically this achievement is tedious but not hard. Enjoy the grind Smile

    EddieM1974 posted a guide for Double Enraged Frag.

    Best done on Desert Strike level 14.

    Firstly hit enemy number 1 hard in the head making him fall over. Immediately cancel the grenade.

    Now toss two more so that they hit the guy lying down and bounce into the standing person (who should remain standing), aborting each time. The guy lying down should no be enraged (head turns red). The enemy that's still standing should need only 1 more hit to become enraged as well.

    Gently toss your last grenade. Make sure you hit the second enemy first. DO NOT ABORT THE GRENADE! The second enemy will also be enraged, the grenade will drop down and explode, killing both enraged enemies. Achievement unlocked.

    Easy. Throw a grenade towards an enemy. If it is close enough to said enemy when it explodes......bleeb achievement unlocked.

    This one can't be missed. In the beginning of the game you'll have to test drive a car. It doesn't matter what place you finish. Immediately after this race there's a cut scene during which the achievement will pop.

    EddieM1974 posted a guide for Pinball Wizard.

    First of all turn down the difficulty to easy. Immediately after the introduction in the game you have your first real race. This is the race we're going to use to get you the achievement. Why? Well, there are only 5 opponents and that's the least we'll encounter.

    You'll start from fifth place. So the first thing to do is let the number 6 overtake you. Now the race is on. Start overtaking every opponent. Whenever you overtake one make sure you bump into the side of that car. That way you don't lose speed. Do this with every opponent.

    Last thing to do is making sure you finish first. Since we turned down the difficulty this shouldn't prove too hard. As soon as you cross the finish line in first place the achievement will pop.

    Good luck.
