Long time Gamespotter here. Just finally getting around to this blog thing. I mean, why not? Free space, right? Achievement unlocked.

Let's discuss.

I think the state of gaming needs a kick in the pants. Achievements. What are they for and for what purpose do they serve? I've come to an answer and I think something that would revolutionize gaming as a whole. What you say? More sprite based games? Funny how times have changed.

It would be nice if game companies or games themselves offered rewards for the achievements they give. So players can use the attained points to get real world items, like computer accessories, etc. Thousands and thousands of achievements are unlocked in games every day. Let's put them to good use publishers!

The whole achievement system in all games should be converted to real world rewards. Many people would like to upgrade their PC's, maybe get some new accesories for their consoles. Few t-shirts, Best Buy or GameStop gift cards, heck even something for mom and dad. This incentive would ultimately be rewarding for the developers, manufacturers, and players alike. Who's with me?
