Is it just me? But if a game was to be released on the X360 & PS3 I would rather get the X360 version. What do you think of Achievement Points? Are they just useless? Or do they actually give you a chance to show others what you have accomplished for a particular game? I think they are usefull in cmoparing what you have & have not done.

P.S. I own both systems :)

I would´nt have gone searching for all the target marks in lost planet if there was no achievements to be gained.

The replay value has greatly improved IMO.

Achievements make me know the ideas of game designers, that means if you are trying to get an Achievement, then you are playing this game on the right way.

Thats pretty low. I got the game sometime just before Christmas and i've reached just about 7000 kills. The 3000 kills seems like ages away.

That's because I'm not really a fan of multiplayer. In any game. I love Co-op though. Ever game should have this feature.

Yeah co-ops cool, games these days seem to be having co-op so i think it will become the next big thing in games.

I've been playing GoW coop with my friend almost every night, it's more addictive then the versus matches...

Now since we've beaten the hell out of gears of war, we've moved onto R6:V... which I'm bad at lol I believe every game should have coop, yes ^_^

I love the new Rewards program for achievements.  I got a free game and some Microsoft pts for just improving my gamerscore.  The rewards don't get sent out till April, but I can't complain since they are free.

GRAW's achievements are just pathetic. Reach number 1 in the Multiplayer leaderboards - geez and I thought the 10,000 kills was bad enough.

Yeah, I'm pretty addicted to achievements - it's a shame that rewards program is only in the US.

Getting a difficult achievement is very rewarding and also they show how good you are at a game and the ones that are like 100 chainsaw kills in gears of war.the points are going to be worthless unless Microsoft clampdown on the ability to buy point but the achievement points are a good way of quickly seeing how good a player is.

I'd say some of Achievements were presents from the Devil.

What this about getting rewards for Achievement Points?

Where can you sign up for it if you're in the UK... or are we getting the short straw like with everything?

They're extremely addictive to me, even though I haven't reached 10k yet, that's what I'm trying to do right now!

I think achievement points are worthless. I dont understand how people think they add any replay value. Achievements like getting 10,000 kills etc, is something Im not going to force myself to do. If  I play a multiplayer game for months and happen to get it...fine, if not, I could care less whether my friends have it or not. Achievement Points to me just dont make the game any funner than it already is.

Everybody is nuts for these things and I dont understand why? If Im worried about High score, Ill play Pac-Man or Super Mario Bros, or something. Thats all achievments are is a high score and I play games for games not High score.
