I had not reached a Million points in a game and this unlocked for me. However, I did play several games of Marathon - reaching 120k to 180K per game. When I finally started to get the hang of Marathon, it unlocked during my 700k game.

I was hoping you could ellaborate on your description, because what you have stated is pretty obvious and also basically the instructions on how to play. So having two or three black stars is probably necessary, because at the 5 minute mark all hell breaks loose. The one black star they give you around the 2:30 or 3:00 minute mark will just not cut it. I can get about 8 to 10 stars before the bombs really start taking off and you have to shift your focus on them. Also, when you freeze you need to setup bomb/star combos, so when you it unfreezes you can hit that combo to start a cascade which freezes your play, but also the bomb's timer. So more detail on this would help.

Plus does anyone know what happens when you combo three black stars?

For the 6 minute achievement, you can pause and resume to continually add 3 seconds to your time... cheesy but it works. Basically the "countdown" to resume the game counts as in game time even though nothing is happening.

I made it to 5:00 just fine, used my 2 black stars between then and 5:45, then used the pause trick for the last little bit. I guess you could just pause/resume all the way from the start, but that'd be booring and unnecessary.

I know this post is old, but this really helped me out! I was stuck at about 5:30 or so and kept running out of time on a bomb or two. Using this trick I was able to get the achievement first try. Thanks!
