And in unrelated news, Microsoft is taking retribution against gamerscore cheaters. He had the #1 score on XBL (and was considered the #1 cheater), and look at him now.

Online achievements are definitely lame. For people who really care about them means they'll just boost with their friends to get them done.

How could you even cheat to get achievements?

Well now that I played more games, I've gotten mine to about 1k. I really don't care at all about the score, but since it's something that exists I wanted mine to have some notoriety.

Being that guy who's amazing but has <200 points was my idea of the coolest way to approach gamer points.

Now I just bother all that much. I'll go for an achievement if by getting the achievement I feel like I've actually achieved something, but for example, I've been playing GH3 exclusively and still don't have the achievement for completing all tutorials.

so i played a couple of my games on single player and achieved roughly 600 points today. NFL Tour had some easy ones worth big points!

i think of all the times when i first started playing the xbox 360, it was my bros xbox, so i didn't create a gamertag, just used his. =/ oh well, have to start somewhere! i'm going to zip through Gears of War and CoD4 next

On Lost Odyssey, completing each disc results in 125 points. Ship the easy 600!

The thing I like about achievements is how it gives game designers an opportunity to motivate play that isn't necessarily a part of the main progression of a game. A good example of this is Crackdown. Open-world games as a whole are really well suited to creative achivements.

Oh I'd beaten it when I said that. The luck and patience involved is a real test regardless of anything else. Haven't played GH so I can't have a good opinion about that. 1000 in CoD4, fwiw.

I like achievements less for any bragging rights (few worth mentioning) than the completionist aspect. I was really happy getting a couple bioshock achievements just as a mark of the experience, like historian and brass balls.

I'd love to get Aperture Science eventually. So hard...

Mmm haven't played GOW in a while, let me know if you want to play the co-op on Insane, it's a blast as I'm sure you know.

To touch on this again, it was pretty fun unlocking additional achievments in NFL Tour last night. One achievement required me to score a touchdown on a play 30 seconds or longer. NFL Tour is much like arena football, small field, like 6 ppl per side...this was a tough one and rewarding when i finally scored on a 30 second play. i sub'd Terrel Owens in at QB, had him scramble around for 25 seconds and run in for the touchdown, that was tough!!
