So today was a monumental day of sorts.
I attained 100% of the available Achievements in an Xbox 360 game.
Ground-breaking, right?
I’ve had the opportunity to play many games, and I’ve come close on a couple of them, but none have garnered me that mystical 1000G score. Grand Theft Auto 4 I completed the story mode, but that netted less than 50% of the in-game achievements. On NCAA Football 10, I achieved all of the offline achievements, but missed out on a few that I didn’t get the chance to grab online. And Modern Warfare 2, I managed to complete the story mode on all difficulties, but still have some Spec Ops to defeat.
But my first game conquered? Assassin’s Creed 2. And I loved every history-changing moment of it.
I’m new to the whole “next-gen” gaming, as I just got my 360 in November, and I was never one who cared much for role-playing games or first-person shooters. But now, I’m hooked, I can’t get enough. And I’m addicted to Achievements.
AC2, I didn’t have too high of expectations for. It looked fun, but ended up being my favorite game of any I’ve played yet. I love how these next-gen games are completely open environments, and this one was not an exception. Being able to run over, jump on, swim under and break through anything and everything around you is mind-blowing. The details in these games is just beyond comprehension, and being able to fully explore, unlock and discover everything in these worlds is amazing.
So anyway, suffice to say I was pretty excited when that last Achievement message popped up on my screen today alerting me my quest was finished. Next up? Fallout 3.
