Bring death to the dictator to bump up your Gamer Score/Trophy haul

Who hasn't casually dreamt of taking out one of history's most infamous, stogie-smoking dictators with a high-powered bowgun? Well, lucky for all you only semi sociopathic dreamers, Call of Duty: Black Ops will not only let you kill the hell out of Fidel Castro, but will also reward you with an Achievement/Trophy for taking out the crooked Cuban with a single round.

If you do manage to go all one shot (God, I love the Deer Hunter) on Castro’s ass, you’ll be given the Death to Dictators Achievement/Trophy and will unlock 15 Gamer Points/a bronze Sony-sponsored pot, depending on whether you’re playing on 360 or PS3.

Seemingly channelling the poultry-slaughtering reward from Modern Warfare 2, the game will also reward folk who like to shoot helpless critters. In the firing line this time is the poor monkey. The aptly named ‘I hate monkeys’ challenge will again, give you 15 points/a Bronze trophy, for taking out seven of the furry ass-scratchers in under ten seconds.

Interestingly, one of the awards is called ‘Some wounds never heal’, which is doled out for escaping the past. Now to us, this sounds like we could well have a flashback mission on our hands in Black Ops. Please be as good as Ghillies in the Mist. Please be as good as Ghillies in the Mist. Please be as good…
