Constantly I'm ranting about not being an achievement whore but this weekend I played/beat Clive Barker's Jericho for the third time. I saw I almost had them all completed. So I thought why not just get it?

First, I'd like to point out that I could careless about achievements, I didn't replay BioShock after my 360 erased my achievement points. Nor when I got TMNT from Gamefly and the disc had an error, I just stopped at where I couldn't get any further and didn't beat it or get all the points. I never saw the point in them or why everyone needed them.



This weekend, during my third play through, I saw I only had a handful of reasonable achievements (kill 250 with melee and disintegrations which I already had the 100 kills for them) along with one not so reasonable one. Some of these levels are designed to make sure you die and they expect you to beat them without dying! Well I persevered this weekend on my quest to conqueror at least one Xbox 360 game in achievements. And after my adventures what did I get?


A total of 1000 achievement points for one game.


Hmmm, what? I don't know what I was expecting but it seemed so anti-climatic. It's kind of like, "Ok, I did it, now what?" Maybe they could have a game that gives you a reward or at least a special message when you get them all? You know, something to encourage you to get it besides "bragging rights." It was sort of nice in a way and I don't think many can call a claim to fame on such a task (or want to?) but it feels hollow. I doubt I'd find myself doing it again unless it is for a game I absolutely love.




So what was your first 1000 pointer game?
