Saints Row 2 - Easy Insurance Fraud Money

If you're playing an Insurance Fraud activity, one easy way to make money is to dive into a dump truck. You can stay in the back of the truck without falling out for a long time, and you can move around to make more money.

Just Cause - Stuck on Helicopter

If you are in the stunt position on a helicopter and it gets destroyed, and you die, you will remain hanging on to the back of the Helicopter. This can look crazy as the back of the chopper will spin around a lot when separated from the rest of the vehicle.

Just Cause - Getting Un-Stuck

There is a small glitch that will sometimes make you get stuck if you jump on the roof of a car. I've found that the easiest way to get "free" if this glitch occurs is to open up the menu and call for a heavy drop. When Rico signals the helicopter, you will no longer be stuck.

Saints Row 2 - Cruising with Homies

This is one way that I've found to be able to ride in the passenger seat of a vehicle while a npc drives.

This trick is easiest with a gang member who is already in a car. Walk up to the car and press up on the control pad to recruit the gangster in the car, once they are out of the car, walk up to the passenger side of the car, but don't get in yet. Hold up again and you will dismiss them, they should walk back to the car. Get into the passenger side of the car synchronized with the npc getting into the drivers seat. If done correctly you should now be in passenger seat of the car. You can recruit this gang member again now.

One problem with this trick is that when the npc sees a cop or another gang member fighting, they will get out and fight, forcing you to get out of the car.

Alternatively, you can call a "homie" on the cell phone, and then dissmis them, they should go back to their car, allowing you to perform the same trick written above, unfortunately sometimes they just walk away, leaving the car.

note that when riding with a character recruited through the cellphone, recruiting them again after getting in the car will make them get out of the car.

Saints Row 2 - Stun Gun Glitches

While playing Saints Row 2, I've noticed several glitches related to the stun gun that can be obtained from police officers.


.If you use a stun gun to execute a human shield, it kills them in one shot, but if you shoot someone in the head with it, it will take several shots to kill them.


.If you shoot the stun gun and then run until your sprint/stamina meter runs out and then continue to hold the run button, the stun gun will continuously try to reload, causing an annoying clicking sound.

.If you shoot the driver of a car with the stun gun and then stand in front of them (just until the stun gun stops effecting them) they will not drive away, even if you move away from them or shoot at them(if you throw them out of the car they will run).

Saints Row 2 - Island population increase

Near the top of the map in the water, there are three small Islands not far from the mainland. If you go to the island that is the furthest West (Judging by the map) you should see some people fishing. Take one of the these people hostage and throw or kill them. When you turn around there should be several more people who have appeared out of nowhere running around on the island.

Note that this glitch can cause so many people to appear on the island at once, that it sometimes causes the Xbox360 to lag considerably.

Fable 2 - Easy Money for Second Character

For this trick to work you'll need two controllers, a player with a lot of gold invested in buildings shops etc. and a tolerance for cheating.

Start a new game and when you get to the Gypsy Camp, save the game and go to the Xbox 360 Dashboard. Set the calendar forward a few years. Next you will need to play as the character with the invested money and sign in the new character with a second controller. Change the gold to only go to player 2 and you will earn a lot of gold.

Fable 2 - Becoming Young Again

There are a lot of way you will find on different websites to get young again in Fable 2, however these are the results I've had.

When you complete the main storyline your scars will be removed.
To actually look young again, you can purchase Brightwood Tower (around 250,000 gold) and complete the quest associated with it. You will be a kid during the quest and will wake up looking 20 years old again (approximately).

Dead Rising - Empty Bathroom

In the Wonderland Plaza, if you run into the bathroom where the shortcut to Paradise Plaza is fast enough (After coming from another area, particularly the Food Court) The toilets and sinks won't load before you get there and it will look empty for a few seconds.

Oblivion - Easy Level Up

This trick requires you have Conjuration as one of your main skills, and works best if you also have a weapon skill (i.e. blade, blunt) and destruction.

You'll need a summon spell ( I use skeleton because you can get it early in the game) and a weapon or destruction spell. Summon a skeleton and kill him using the weapon or spell that will effect your major skills and repeat this process. If you have block as a major skill you can train 3 skills at once, and if you combine sword fighting with magical attacks, you can even train 4 at a time.

Dead Rising - Escaping crowds of zombies

Once unlocked, you can use the jump kick to knock several zombies out of your way.

Dead Rising - Katana and Battle Axe

In the upstairs part of the entrance plaza, there is a store that has both katanas and battle axes. This is the closest store to the security room that has these weapons.

Crackdown - Cars go crazy

Sometimes if you shoot all the tires off of a car, it will start sliding around out of control.

Dead Rising - Using the sledgehammer

If you get a sledgehammer (from the warehouse or from a hardware store) you may not realize it has two attacks. The first attack is a slamming the hammer down towards an enemy, sometimes beheading them which works great for a single opponent, but you can also hold x down to swing the hammer around, hitting several enemies at once with less damage.

Turok - Using the knife

If you think the knife is useless against heavily armed enemies, think again. It's possible to clear out an entire room of human enemies with just the knife, and even easier against dinosaurs.
