We saw some screen pics from PAX showing new achievements for Halo 3 and Bungie has been tight lipped ever since. Until now. In their weekly update, they confirm that a title update coming later this month will add 10 achievements for an additional 250 Gamerscore points. You can see them all after the jump.
However, the achievements they list aren’t all the ones we saw at PAX, and Bungie confirmed that more are coming, but who knows when. No word yet on when the new Assembly map will be released or what the whole Mythic stuff is all about. Only time will tell, since Bungie keeps everything close to their vest.

Ninja Gaiden 2 shipped to retailers yesterday and we got a chance to see what you’ll be spending hours to do to boost your gamerscore. Most of them seem straightforward, which is a surprise.
There are a few that I just don’t understand, such as the ones to complete the game using only one weapon. Just why? The game is hard enough, why would you want to limit yourself to only using one weapon the entire time? Couple that with the fact that each of eight weapon-specific achievements are 5 points each, and I have a feeling not too many people will be getting 1000 gamerscore. Not unless you’re insanely hardcore and want to play the game at least 8 times all the way through.

Did you get GTA IV yet? If the answer is or you have the PS3 version, here is a full list of the achievements. A lot to do. A lot of time to do it. The last one could be tough. Don’t worry, no spoilers here, just the name of some missions. Check them all out here.
The complete list of 47 achievements for RB6:V2 have just been released. Click here for the entire list. Don’t worry, there are no spoilers here. All 47 are revealed but they do not give any plot details. The single and multiplayer achievements are almost identical to last year and all but a few are obtainable outside of extensive gaming. Still burns my ass that I need to buy the Xbox Camera for the last one. Not worth it.
If you thought the pillow fight scene in LOTR: The Return of the King was gay, this might be a shock. Bully, now in next gen, has achievements. One particular one, “Over the rainbow”, awards you with a whopping 25 pts if 20, yes, 20 guys give you a kiss. We are not kidding. I have decided to add my own list of achievements in this spirit of unabashed homosexual freedom:
1 pt- To See It
2 pts – To touch it.
5 pts – For an HJ
10 pts – For a BJ
15 pts – For a ZJ. If you have to ask, then buddy you don’t want it.
Are you sick of stupid achievements? Ones that give little gamerscore for what they offer? Ones that just don’t fit into the game? Well, now you have a chance to voice your opinions. Team Ninja is looking for help in creating the achievements for Ninja Gaiden 2.
Head on over to Gamerscore Blog and leave a comment with your thoughts on how the achievements should be setup. You just might make a difference in the game. The deadline to get your submissions in is January 24th, so get moving people.
According to Sony, they’re working on an achievement system that will “go well beyond a single score.” Eric Lempel, PlayStation Network director of operations, let the cat out of the bag in an interview with Next-Gen.
I know that an achievement system is very important to our consumers. With Home, and in addition to Home, we have some very exciting programs planned to recognize our consumers gaming skills and loyalty in new ways that go well beyond a single score.
We all knew about how Home will integrate a Trophy Room, which will allow users to show off trophies they earn in games. But now we’re talking outside of Home as well? Could be pretty cool. Does this mean we’ll be seeing PS3 GamerCards online sometime soon? Only time will tell. Maybe we’ll learn more at GDC.

Achievements have been all the rage since the launch of the Xbox 360. But just how much have they done for gaming? Many people will argue that they add a level of depth to the games that give you the urge to keep playing when you normally would stop. I can’t argue with that. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. What I’ll add, though, is that achievements can take the fun out of a game.
There are a lot of times when gamers will spend hours just trying to get some achievement points that really don’t mean anything. It’s driven people to play games they don’t want to play (ie. King Kong, College Hoops 2K6) just to boost their gamer score. A lot of times, you’re just not having as much fun. In the Tiger Woods series, there has always been achievements for competing in Daily Online Tournaments. Now, most people would normally skip this feature, which doesn’t provide a lot of depth. Many players are grinding their way through just to get those extra points.
I’m not saying achievements are bad. I think they’re a great addition to gaming. But the way some developers have positioned the achievements in their games brings out sides of gamers that we’d rather not see. Cheating and boosting just to get some points online, and playing through games and modes that otherwise you had no desire to touch just to increase your score. If developers can put more effort into setting up their achievements, I think the system would be much better than where it is today.
