    lol.

    I'm not that bothered by achievements so I can't say I suffer much but it would be nice if there was some sort of online achievement tracking for PC games.

    I was under the impression that the Games for Windows series will introduce this in future when Live Anywhere kicks off and it all comes together.

    In the meantime:

    As you can see from my gamer score I'm as interested in getting these achievements as going to watch Manchester City play (urgh - I'd rather watch paint dry)

    How very dare you! City are the most exciting team in the premiership! Better than the red scum anyway

    The only problem with them is that some seem impossible to achieve- what you get from them isn't worth the time and you can only get these if you are really obsessed with whatever game it is.
