Many games give you 10g just for putting them in and booting them up, or beating a level, while others give you 10g for completing a difficult or obscure task. For instance, the Simpsons Game gives you 5g just for pressing the start button, while you get 5g for completing 10 side missions in Just Cause. It’s just not fair. TrueAchievements.com has come up with a solution to this unjust scoring;

Valve have updated Counter-Strike Source, adding Mac support, achievements, stats, and lots of bugfixes and gameplay updates. The game is also briefly on sale with 66% off.

There are two types of gamers: those who play for achievement points and trophies, and those who play to enjoy the game. I am a firm believer in playing games to play the game, to become engrossed in the story and forget that you have bills to pay and a job to trudge back to [...]

I’m having a blast with PopCap Games’s Plants vs. Zombies. It’s been universally eulogized, and for all the right reasons, and like PopCap’s other games, it doesn’t require a supercharged system. Those of you that own the $10 Steam version will be pleased to know that an update has been issued to add 12 achievements [...]

Sony have confirmed to Videogamer that trophy support will be mandatory from January 2009- meaning that every game will have to support trophies, Sony’s answer to the Xbox’s achievement system. While many games have already been patched, plenty remain without trophies in this year’s lineup; it seems this won’t ever be the case again on [...]

Left 4 Dead surprises me everyday with the amount of sheer awesome that’s being generated by the game’s hype machine. If you kill every zombie in the infected town of Willamete, you get an achievement. Doesn’t sound so bad, right? I mean, when the zombie apocalypse comes around that’s kind of the plan. You know, [...]

A new Gears of War 2 game footage video has made its way onto the web, further confirming in my opinion that the sequel will be better than the original and revealing a few new features as well. In addition to the meat shield ability which lets you use your enemy’s body to absorb bullets [...]

Gears of War 2 hits shelves in a little over two months now. With the release date quickly approaching, the full achievement list has now been revealed, as well as the rewards for the previously revealed linked achievements. Check them out after the break.

For dedicated achievement whores who are strapped for cash but don’t want to sell their entire game collection, there’s a new option-– sell the time you spend playing them.

Why choose when you don’t have to? After perusing the recently revealed Fable II achievement list, one of the many that really jumped out at me was The Swinger — 5 points if you “take part in a orgy, responsibly”. I’m assuming this means group sex while wearing a condom and remembering to feed your [...]

Mega Man is hard. No doubt about that. Mega Man 9, supposedly, is going to be the hardest one since the classic NES titles of yore, which is pretty fitting considering the game’s neo-retro graphical style. Back in the day when you downed Quick Man without taking a hit, all you could do was tell [...]

Oh boy… If World of WarCraft wasn’t already a massive drain on your free time, then Wrath of the Lich King will make things significantly worse.  Not only will the expansion add Death Knights and an entire new continent, but it’s also bringing with it Achievements, which you earn by doing a myriad of quest-related [...]

Anyone who’s been following the news (or rumors, as Microsoft would have you believe) knows that I have not been having much luck with my 360. From the general Xbox Live problems that many people are experiencing to the disappearing achievements that I supposedly made up, things are not working the way they should. Microsoft [...]
