Introduction:
Harm's Way was a free to download game that came out with Dorito's Crash Course back in December 2010. It is one of the easiest XBLA around and should only take you one race to get all of the single player achievements.

Walkthrough:
Start a race, and aim to win. On the way round look for and drive through a downgrade powerup (red) to unlock "Turret Downgrade". When you kill your first opponent (really easy) you will get "First Blood", and if you hit his tires (likely) you will get "Flat Tire". You should be able to get "One Shot Kill" on your first time round also.
When you have received 2 weapon upgrades you can cycle through the weapons to unlock "Missile-Fest" and "Mine-Fest". You will probably end up wrecking at least once on the way round to get "Get Wrecked".
If you win you will unlock "First Win".

Start a quick race on local multiplayer and shoot an enemy out of their turret and take it over to unlock "Turret Takeover". If you don't have a second controller get your boosting partner to help you out with this.

You should now have 170/200.

Online:
Check the achievement trading thread here to find someone to boost with as online is a ghost town. You just need to join a lobby for "Affiliation", and create a lobby for "Entertainer". You don't even have to race to unlock these...

Mop Up:
Just watch the credits from the menu to pick up "The Justin Carpenter" Achievement to complete your 200

To conclude, this is one of the simplest completions out there and should take you no time at all. One of the few games that takes longer to download that it does to complete!
