Hey all, I'm currently working on doing some research for a feature I'm writing on achievement systems in gaming for TWGnews.com, and I was wondering if you could help me out. I wanted to see if achievements effect the way gamers play or look at their games. So do you... 1 - Not care about Achievements 2 - Get what Achievements you can, but only casually 3 - Strive for Achievements, so long as you're rewarded (bonus game features, unlockables) 4 - Need to get every single Achievement known to man, so you can show your gaming prowess for all to see So share your thoughts, opinions and musings on achievements, I'd love to hear it. Thanks!

I've only gone after the harder trophies in games that I deemed worthy of my time, like Mirror's Edge and GTAIV.

I have about 20 games but have only really gone after the trophies in 2 of them.

When I first go through a game, I'm 2, but after that I'm 4. It works pretty well, seeing as I have 202 and counting:D

It does influence me. All older games I'll probably end up getting them on 360 because they come tagged with acheivements. I'm pretty OCD about the %'s so I strive to platinum games, already done so with 5: Uncharted, LittleBigPlanet, Dead Space, Resistance 2, Call of Duty: World At War
