I am surprisingly still playing Dark Void, a ten-year-old Xbox 360 game. I warmed up with some Gnome's Garden. 

Gnome's Garden: A New Home: Used the game for a fairly easy achievement to get rewards points. I played four levels or so before I got one for using the pause button. It doesn't pause the gameplay but pauses the timer for a little bit. It's one of three buttons that affect the game and have to recharge after each use. The other two are for speeding up movement and speeding up building. They become key elements towards getting those three stars in each level. I also rebuilt Stonehenge. I didn't know it was knocked down. 

Dark Void: I discovered how to get certain robots to gag up their worm-like lifeform. Headshots. I should've known. So I got the achievement for stomping 10 of them. Then I got the one for ramming into UFOs with another UFO. It's kind of tricky to do it because the AI weaves and dodges all over the place. I kind of lucked out getting it by fighting a lot of aerial battles. Then I started from the beginning on Hardcore mode. This just makes you take more damage. You don't get more points for upgrades and they don't add more enemies. Disappointing, but I eventually got enough to get all the weapon upgrades and an achievement. I had to stop just two levels short of the end of the game on Hardcore. It's not especially difficult, you just have to be more methodical and watch your health. I'll get that achievement next week and then there will be only one left for the main game and that is finding all the Journals. I realized now that I am short about five of them but with no indication of what level they may be on. The only solution would be to run the whole game again and hunt them down. Will I do it? I'm not sure yet.
