Wack Xbox 360 achievements, Top 10 style
GamersReports has posted a list of some of the more questionable Xbox 360 achievements. But points whores (a.k.a. those of us who pad our gamerscores) will quietly disagree with the claim that the Madden and King Kong achievements are among the "worst" -- heck, who wouldn't take 100 points for lighting a brush fire?
And we're gonna argue that GRAW's 'World Champion' is one of the better achievements, in theory. After all, "achievements" implies hard work and a goal that isn't accessible to everyone. But we do agree that Ubisoft should have considered those who were able to play the game before its release -- we're looking at you Major Nelson -- ineligible to receive the achievement.
But the other seven achievements on the list are downright tedious and offensive. 40,000 points in Feeding Frenzy? Do we look like we got a case of the OCD?
Here's GamersReports' complete list:
Mini-Games (Enter the Mini-Games mode); Madden 2007
Pyromaniac (Jack used fire to scare off enemies and get out of harm's way); King Kong
The Graduate (Earn the highest score on every drill in Training Mode); Rockstar Table Tennis
Tactical Instructor (Top marks in every Story Mode mission); Chromehounds
Play Some Online (Compete in each of the online game modes at least once); Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2006
Food Bank; Feeding Frenzy
Game Master (Finish the entire game without continuing while using default settings); Smash TV
Complete 99 Stages (standard mode); Bomberman: Act Zero
Transmissionary (Answer all calls from Otis); Dead Rising
World Champion (Multiplayer: Climb to the top of the universal leaderboard); GRAW
