I want to complete NFS:MW before Swansea but I don't think I'm going to manage it.
Especially not now I'm liking the look of DR at last.

I'll probably go back to DR when I've done a bit more on Lego Star Wars II. I've finished all the episodes but need to re-do most of them to get all the minikits, true jedi & free story true jedi. Fantastic game.

Bah, I need someone to have a gamerscore race with, it'd give me extra motivation to finish some stuff I reckon.

Hmmm, I think I might be a bit ahead, though my rate has slowed dramatically since going back to uni.....at this rate you should catch me by the end of next year

I was having one with McDingle, but he pulled away a bit

It is fun.....but I'm not sure if it does my competitive spirit good. I'd done so well to hide it until this

Does give me the motivation to complete games though, which I've always been crap at getting round to doing. So I suppose in a way it means I'm reaching the full potential of the game which is always good.

Although worryingly I'm now sitting here thinking how interesting it would be to do some research on how the achievement system has changed gaming, aaaaargh.

Ditto. Even if I plan to trade in the game I now complete them just to get the achievements and gamerscore. It does give you that extra nudge.

Aye, I did that with Top Spin 2 (so far my only 360 game traded in), I spent a couple of house beating everyone in exhibition mode to get the extra points
