                      ...with Xbox 360 Gamerscores? 
 I try to get as many of them as I can just because it gives me something extra to do in the games.

                      You mean the achievements?  No, I usually don' t bother, but I like the fact that they' re there.  In some games the achievements are actually challenging, which makes them worth something.    Recently I just aquired all Achievements for Geometry Wars Evolved   .  My high score is now at 2.1 million.  I should get my camera next week, I intend on making a video of me playing GW just to show how crazy the game is.       Survive the first 60 seconds of the game without firing or using a bomb    Earn 100,000 points    Earn 250,000 points      Earn 500,000 points      Earn 1,000,000 points      Earn 100,000 points without dying      Earn 250,000 points without dying      Earn 500,000 points without dying      Earn 1,000,000 points without dying      Earn a 10x multiplier      Collect 9 lives      Collect 9 bombs         Surviving to 1 million without losing a life and the getting a 10X multi are pretty much the same thing as you get them both at around 1 million without dying.  Which is very difficult.  The other one that' s tough is getting 9 bombs, you have to reach 600,000 without using a bomb or reach 600,000+100,000 for every bomb you use.

                      I have an incredibly short attention span with videogames, especially single-player titles, so despite playing bucketloads of games, I' ve only got a few thousand gamerscore. 
 The one set of games I' m sure to get the 1000 in are the Call of Duty games. In my opinion, four has some of, if not the hardest achievements on the 360 to date. " The Mile High Club"  took me over an hour to get.

                      I like achievements but I don' t really try to get every single achievement in a game, for example I couldn' t be arsed collecting every single orb in Crackdown just to get an achievement.

                      I bother just for the amusement of it, but I prefer to play a game just because it awesome(COD4!) and then I will do the achievements as added fun.

                      When I lived at my last apartment my roommates and I were all in a friendly competition to see who could keep the highest gamerscore.  It was fun.

                      The only games I' ve gotten 1000/1000 points in is Call of Duty 2 and Oblivion.   
 I refuse to do stupid things in multiplayer to earn achievments (like try to run people over with the mongoose in a Halo 3 free for all).
 
 I do like the achievements and they add some fun challenges to games as long as they do them right.  I really liked Perfect Dark Zero' s achievments.  If the game was good enough I would have kept playing to get them all.
 
 I played one game of NBA 2k6 and got 3/4 achievements for 750 points.  It is the worst use of achievements I have seen in a game yet.  I wasn' t going for the achievements or anything, just borrowed it from my brother to try it out.

                      The hardest achievements I' ve ever seen are the ones in Dead or Alive Xtreme 2.  I had to play for several hours just to get 1 20 point achievement.

                      I like achievement points for setting personal targets but I' m not concerned about bragging rights. 
 I' ve only hit the max on Oblivion although I' m very close on CoD2, I' m in the final square but I' m stuck on a checkpoint where I get killed in 2 seconds each time. Will probably have to re-start the level.

                      Achievements...those are the little annoying things that pop up when the gamemaker thinks I' ve done something significant, right? 
 I' ve never even given them a moment' s thought.
