Mirror's edge - Sweet Goodbye. Fucking awesome
Can't think of any bad at the moment, but there are some

Oh, there are loads of bad achievements. Usually the "kill 100 somethings with the something" variety, or "play for X number of hours." They're just lazy and boring. They don't inspire you to play the game differently, they don't challenge your ability, they're just awarded for marking in-game time, which I personally find to be very lame.
I think most multiplayer achievements are pretty bad.

Whilst those are utterly stingy points wise, they're actually really fun to do thanks to the way they force you to develop strategies for each weapon.PrimaVita said:
All of the Trophies / Achievements in Eat Lead are great, mainly because they take the piss out of Trophies / Achievements.
My favourite is "Multiplayer Master". The description is Huh? There's no Multiplayer Mode? Oh well, too late to take it back now...
Warhawk on PS3 has some fun Trophies. Some are just dumb (blow yourself up with your own air-mine), others are just mind-fuckingly hard (kill a Warhawk with a Cluster Bomb). Some, however, are very fun indeed. I am proud of Hit List (kill every opposing player at least once) and Anti-Camper (blow up an enemy who has earned five or more kills using the same turret).

not really avhievments but some of the challenges for cod 5 are ridiculous.(kill an enemy with his own mine by shooting it through the wall).they may as well have "shoot 30 people in a game while balancing on your head while being constantly blinded with flash bangs"...little over the top but still...
Aye, this. Partly because I only have one real-life gamer friend and my internet connection at university so rarely allows me to join games... but mainly because I just don't like multiplayer games. I game for entertainment rather than competition, and it just happens that I get more entertainment playing single-player.Susan Arendt said:
The Little Rocket Man achievement in HL2-Ep2 was brilliant, very creative and very challenging. I hate any online multiplayer achievements, but thats just me
I agree with both of your points.BlueMartian said:
I think the Portal achievement for getting gold in all the advanced challenges is bad for the 360 only because they are near impossible to do without a mouse.
The worst achievements I've seen definitely have to be for Avatar: the Last Airbender. I know the game is based on a cartoon or something but that's all I know about it. My brother brought the game to me one day and said "play this, and just keep doing the same move as fast as you can." 5 minutes and 1000 gamer points later, I have all the achievements and I'm not even past the tutorial. IMO, that's just a lack of creativity. I guess it's a kids game though, so maybe that's why.
Man vs Tank is easy. xD
Worst achievement(s) in Left4Dead: Dead Wrecking and Outbreak tie. They're both pats on the back for doing nothing. Now beating all four campaigns on expert, that's what I call an achievement.
Worst achievement(s) in Fallout3: The first few which it's impossible not to get, such as finishing the G.O.A.T and leaving the vault.
Worst achievements of all time: Anything that is granted to you for doing something you HAVE to do in order to complete the game. Achievements in my opinion are supposed to be things to strive for, not reassure the player they did something right for once.
