Digibytes: Achievements have changed the way certain gamers look at video games. Some people love them while others despise them. This is a look at one gamer's addiction with achievements and how it changed his perception of video games.
This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.
GL compiles a list of some of the most mind-blowing video game narrative twists in recent memory, from The Last of Us to Outer Wilds
With articles like these cant you tag the games mentioned so that we can know ahead of time if there’s a spoiler to avoid?

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
I don't get it myself, I would never play and replay games I don't even like just to get achievements, glad I can finally turn off only trophy notifications now on PS3.
Shame really. Any game that I have that has most or all achievement points is because of games that I like to play over and over again.
There are a lot of things I'll be more proud of then just some points.
I also know a guy who tries to buy games only for achievements. He think people always look at his gamerscore and he thinks people will think he is awesome for it which shows that he cares about some random people who think about him. Funny thing though, he is still trying to get achievement points even though he is switching to PS4. <_<
People like that must think other people care or are looking at their achievements , many achievements just take ridiculous amount of time, not skill , I mean who actually spend hundreds of hours in la noir to find the 50 film wheels? They just look up a guide
I think achievements in games are great. I use trueachievement.com and for coop games this keeps the community alive for old games. You can create a session and find others that want to play that game with you.
The best ones for me at least are the hardest ones to attain. Like completing a level without dying, time based ones, hard play through etc.
If you look at my gamercard you would see which games I enjoy and have completed.
The people that buy easy games to just artificially inflate their score are just trying to impress by the number, but the true indicator is completion of games that are great like Batman AA, AC, RDR, GTA4, Halo games, GoW, FC3, Bioshock series and so on. If you are just playing crap games to get you score up that's lame, but if you are working on completing games that have merit and are worth the time then great.
Overall I enjoy the hardest achievements that others on my friends list can't get. It's the modern day leaderboards.
Edit: also MS said they are not going to give people achievements for watching TV. That would be dumb, I agree.
Im sorry I love achievements and trophies.
I think Nintendo screwed up by not adding a rewards system.
