The War of the Worlds may serve as proof that Patrick Stewart makes everything better. What could otherwise have been a forgettable, if charming, old-school platformer is brought to life by his narration, reading from a script written by Christopher Fowler, who was chosen specifically because his tone evoked that of H.G. Wells.
Not all achievements are created equal. While the vast majority will often be unlocked for simply completing the game and doing a few extra missions or tasks, some can prove to be devilishly hard. Either because of the sheer amount of time that needs to be invested or because of the expert skill or tremendous luck that is required for them to unlock. Here we take a look at the absolute worst offenders, the hardest achievements to grace the Xbox consoles.
Leviathyn.com | If you’ve been coming to this site for a bit, chances are you’ll have noticed I have an interesting taste in games. Something like this has its pro’s and its con’s but that’s just the burden I have to bear. The good thing about my unique style is that I can use it for the betterment of mankind. Okay, maybe not exactly, but I can use it to bring you games that you may have otherwise overlooked or just plain had no idea existed. Today, I would like to showcase a few PC games that were definitely unusual and some of my favorites.
Still play Dungeon Keeper to this day, one of the best Strategy games ever IMO :)
With all of the CODs and Battlefields, why not bring back some good ole games? I loved Populous, Magic Carpet and X-Wing vs Tie Fighter!
I'm sure they would bring them back if they can get someone to make a FPS out of them. Syndicate and Xcom come to mind.
I'd love a new populous though. Black and White is a little old but it reminded me of populous in many ways.
Xwing is another I miss. That and Starfleet academy. Space battle games have really been gone too long
GameDynamo - "Occasionally, a developer will saddle their game with an achievement that is quite literally designed to be nigh impossible to gain. Maybe they're trying to artificially increase playtime. Perhaps they didn't realize it'd be so difficult. Or maybe, just maybe, they're subtly letting their fans know that they hate them.
Either way, the achievements on this list are some of the most downright sadistic I've ever seen. "
Lost planet 2 has a number 1 spot trophy but u might as well add the platinum as it will take months to get all the medals. Killzone 2 on elite is not easy either but doable if u have patience and skill. Fable 3 has an achievement that forces u to collect certain items. Problem is that u can only get a few each playthrough and it's random so u could play 25 x and not get them so u have to rely on others gifting. Sounds easy? U have to have them all at the same time. I finally found someone who trusted me to use them and return them and I had a few hours before he returned it and I got called into work. Oh well.
The Simpsons Game - PWNED! Achievement
Of course I received no gamerpoints for it, but it was sure hilarious unlocking it after dying 10 times.
