Welcome to the Achievements thread!
In this thread we talk about Achievements and Trophies and other little tokens of accomplishment that bring life (and gamerscore) into your otherwise dull gaming life. It's also a pretty good place to look if you need some help boosting achievements in games that no longer have functioning multiplayer (Most XBLA games and a fair bit of regular 360 games).
I suppose Steam Achievements could also be discussed here but seriously
who does those anyway.
Useful Link ThingsTrue Achievements - A well organized site that tracks your achievements, allows you to organize grinding sessions, and a handful of other gamerscore-related features.
Xbox360Achievements.org - A really useful site that has an index of all 360 games and their achievements, as well as guides on how to get them in most cases.
PS3Trophies.org - The sister site to above, the same resource for PS3 games.
Willeth's Technicolor Achievement Challenge
A nifty idea brought to light by Willeth, Achievement Challenges start on Fridays and run for a week. The goal is to raise your gamerscore by as many points as possible in that week. It's a fun way to increase your gamerscore and feel less dirty for grinding out all the achievements you hate. To sign up for the latest one, click that pretty colored. Older challenges will be archived as time goes on.
Games That Need Playing
The basic idea for this is that there are a lot of games that people need achievements for but can't get them because the multiplayer sucks, or nobody plays the game anymore, or both. So from time to time we will arrange large-scale game shindigs where anyone with that game can come play and get the achievements they need. Maybe we'll even end up playing for fun. Maybe.

But there are exceptions?
Rock Band DLC | GW:OttW - arrcd | WLD - Thortar
I don't actually know. But I've heard it said there are some games that don't match up 100%. Either way, achievement guides are, for the most part, useful/usable for getting trophies.

Yeah I know that, but the reason I asked if anyone knew of a site was for PS3 exclusives. I'd prefer to not just ignore them on the grounds that multi-platform games can share guides.
You want a good Trophy site?
www.ps3trophies.org
It is actually the sister site of xbox360achievements.org, the layouts are the same and everything
But nah, I'm not to that point yet.
I did go ahead and buy Resident Evil 5, though, despite already playing through it on PS3. That way I have to work a little bit for my Achievements
But now I'm kinda in the mood to play RE5 and have to wait another week :?
Or the truly ancient ones like Kameo and Call of Duty 3
MWO: Adamski
All of them, in fact.
It's almost like it's meant to be super hard or something.
Don't worry, the platforms have made me give up on it for a little bit, too.
Edit: I'm looking at the Halo 3 achievements list...I am never, ever going to get some of these multiplayer achievements. lol.

my so/so opinion of the game thus far (very fun an star warsy at times, other times not so much.), it appears it shall be the one to drive me over 40k, which is pretty dandy.
but for anyone who's played it, do the counts for like the 500 kills roll over if i decide to do a second playthrough or am i required to get 500 kills with them in a single playthrough.
I wish the game didnt feel soo.... uneven... at points... i'm having a hell of a time in the innards of the death star on the medium difficulty.
Steam - Minty D. Vision!
Origin/BF3 - MintyDVision
is the light or dark side the "offical" ending to the game?
EDIT:
Also, the Death Star is a fucking pain on the highest difficulty. But by that point, you can skip that whole bullshit at the beginning. It won't help elsewhere, but it's something.
Security zone is my least favorite firefight level and I get bored everytime I try to do it so, those last 10 points evade me at the moment.

I have it but I have to reactivate my account. it will be soon but in case no one else does I thought I'd mention it.
It is times like this I wish that achievements didn't exist. It'd be a lot better if they were all accumulative.
Yeah, I though the same. Until I realised you could just let the game sit on one of the levels. So I just did that whenever I needed to charge the controller battery. As long as you finish the level requirements and then save the game you don't even have to do any real work.
