Worthplaying Review: UP
WP writes: "I have this thing about in-game Achievements. I laugh at them. I mock people who are avid to rack them up. Then I go home, play, delight when that thrilling oblong box notifies me that I’ve unlocked a new one. For anything over five points, I often pause the game to check out my new Gamerscore total. After I’ve pretty well run through a game on- and offline, I hit the Web for lists of the more esoteric Achievements, mining for hints describing how to most easily get them. Great stuff. Of what value they are to games-as-art I have no idea, but I confess I like Achievements. If you like Achievements too, you’re going to discover an immediate fondness for Up, the tie-in title for this summer’s Disney-Pixar blockbuster movie, "Up" (if isn’t a blockbuster, it’s only because the world will have ended)."
