Game Reward Systems.

One of the most annoying things about a game, to me, is when you buy it for sometimes £30 to £40, take all your time out to play and eventually after hours and hours of squeezing, biting and throwing of the remote out of sheer frustration, finish the game.

Since you've spent hours, days even weeks trying to finish it, you kinda expect something decent waiting for you as a congratulations for completing it...but nope...nothing there. A lovely single concept art, maybe even some achievement points...fan-bloody-tastic! In case you can't tell, this is sarcasm.

It makes most games lack any replay value what-so-ever, something which is very important to me if I'm gonna cough up the money for a game these days. Gimme some cheats or costumes or something to unlock please!!!

Count me as one of those people who've noticed that most 360 games count more on achievement points than anything actually decent as an end game reward, which is one of the most irritating things for me. I'm an offline gamer so acheivement points are nothing to me. Plus I can't help feeling bad for the people like me, who don't own a 360 and have PC's or other consoles to game on, who aren't getting anything as a reward.

One of the games I loved for all the rewards, was Tomb Raider Legend and Anniversary. Packed solid with things to unlock such as loads of costumes, cheats, game models, interesting character biographies etc etc for you to unlock by finding all the relics in game. Even after completing it you can use Level Select to go back and search for the ones you've missed. Fantastic replay value! That's what I want!

Tomb Raider Underworld was disappointing, I had such high hopes after Legend and Anniversary, but alas, there was nothing but concept art. Meh!

So please, PLEASE add something cool to your games for when we finish them, I think we deserve it after buying and playing them don't you?;)
