Say what you will about him, but we think new
Prince of Persia has already achieved quite a lot. Most notably, he's totally made us forget about old Prince of Persia, thanks in no small part to old Prince's ever-increasing resemblance to Criss Angel. Apparently though, Ubisoft still isn't satisfied, asking fans to come up with yet another hurdle for new Prince to overcome.
Right now, you can cast your vote and help select between three different 360 achievements on
Ubisoft's website. They all make sense (master combos, run through a level, etc.) but after consulting the above picture, we'd like to suggest a more obvious choice:
Find that girl's legs.

Then, everyone will be happy.
PS. Screw off Rockstar and Activision achievement picker guys.

Hopefully they'll (Ubisoft, and subsequently everyone) find a nice balance of game progression achievements, cool "playing" / off-the-beaten-path achievements, skill based achievements, and subconscious "grinding" achievements.
Right now I'm playing through Lego Indiana Jones and I'm liking their achievement system your getting them pretty often and I think all 1000 are achievable by a normal person having fun with the game. The secret ones are pretty funny also.
Take the pigeon one for example - driving around the city looking for 200 birds to kill is pretty damn tedious and is only being completed by people using the highlighted maps I would bet. The damn things are too hard to see to just stumble upon 200 of them.
I think they would do better to not have collection type achievements. Those are pretty weak.
1. Encouraging people to rush through a game that is built to have people take its time is foolish. I'm sure the "beat the game in under 30hrs" achievement was put in to convince people to play through the game a 2nd time, but instead it just makes people, on their first playthrough, have this little voice in the back of their head saying "maybe if I skip this sidequest or skip checking out this new part of the city or skip the whole dating thing, I can get that 30 hours achievement". The game was built with the extra stuff in mind, while the achievement encourages the exact opposite.
2. Multiplayer achievements in ranked matches only. This is a fault of many games, so I can let it slide.
3. This is the worst, it's like #2 but extended. Co-op achievements in ranked matches only. That means you can't get the achievements when playing co-op with a friend, but rather have to play co-op with some random person from the GP to get the achievements. That. Is. Terrible. The whole point of co-op is to play with friends.
I beat the game in 27 hours and trust me I messed around in Liberty City a lot. I didn't really feel like I was rushed either. Taking cabs saved some time on cross island trips but I never felt really rushed. Still, I know what you mean and I can see how some might feel like that.

Those achievments always keep you coming back for more. "Just one more song". Sometimes i forgot what time it was. lol idk how i got through my senior year in high school when I was up at 2 in the morning trying to Five Star hangar 18 on expert when I had to wake up at 5:30 for school .
I would like to see achievements that are better than GH 2's but most games do the basic stuff. Beat a level, kill X amount of enemies, ect.

I also enjoyed Crackdown's achievements. I don't like Ninja Gaiden 2's - they're either insanely easy, or annoying (there's like six achievements where you finish the game using only one weapon - who wants to do that?!).

I think, if there'd been an achievement for it, the cat may not have been so lucky...

And yeah, that's the problem right? They're so good! No matter how earth shattering your cries of frustration are, you still want, no, MUST keep playing!
Like the Colonel, with his wee-beady little eyes putting addictive chemicals in his chicken, making you crave it fortnightly...
Maybe I've been spending too much time around Japanese media, but those both look like dudes to me.
