    OK, going to keep this one brief. I'm sort of in the middle of writing a review, but I figured I could use a break from that. So I'm writing about achievements for a bit. As expected, The Beatles held the top spot. Some of the stalwarts of this list, like Shadow Complex and Wolfenstein, have dropped off the list, and Garry's Mod keeps making a creep up the chart that, to be honest, is freaking me out a little.

    Have you heard these guys? Kind of poppy, but there's some edge to it. They're not bad. 
    Have you heard these guys? Kind of poppy, but there's some edge to it. They're not bad. 

    Top Ten Sets

    1. The Beatles: Rock Band
    2. Batman: Arkham Asylum
    3. Madden NFL 10
    4. Garry's Mod
    5. Halo 3: ODST (blocked)
    6. Need for Speed: SHIFT
    7. Brutal Legend
    8. Darkest of Days
    9. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2
    10. DIRT 2

    Man, Darkest of Days is on the most popular list again? That's crazy, but that game has some high-ticket achievements, like 100 points for punching a horse to death. Man, if that was a better game, I'd probably be playing it right now. Still, I've played enough of it to at least want to go back and get some points out of it.

    Here's the new stuff for this week. Nothing too mindblowing, though FIFA 10's not due out for another month. So those are nice and early.

     These guys are all
     These guys are all "AAAAAHHHHH FOOOTY!"

    New Sets


    And here we go with the top individual achievements. This list would actually look a lot different if we were tracking secret achievements differently, as that's where most of the traffic to our The Beatles: Rock Band pages is going. But yeah... Garry's Mod is at the top of the chart this week. That's pretty messed up.

    This, followed by a server crash, sums up my Garry's Mod experience.

    Top Ten Individual

    1. Garry's Mod - Secret Phrase
    2. Batman: Arkham Asylum - World's Greatest Detective
    3. Batman: Arkham Asylum - Party Pooper
    4. Batman: Arkham Asylum - Freeflow Perfection
    5. Batman: Arkham Aslyum - Perfect Knight
    6. Garry's Mod - Are You The Real Garry?
    7. Shadow Complex - Minimalist
    8. The Beatles: Rock Band - All the Children Sing
    9. Batman: Arkham Asylum - Mano-A-Mano
    10. DIRT 2 - I Ain't Afraid Of No Ghost!

    OK, quick break over, time to get back to writing this ODST thing. Stay safe!

    I'm guessing the (blocked) next to odst means that the achievements are locked until release?

    Darkest of Days looks so bad that it may be worth playing for comical reasons...and achievements.

    I have this sneaking suspicion that FIFA 10 will be No1 or 2 on the 9th of October (a week after it's EU release). I wonder what Jeff will say???

    Didn't one of you give away the GMod "secret phrase" in a recent Bombcast? You only have yourselves to blame for that one. The PURITY of the STATS is ruined, man.

    He should make a bet that lips will be higher up, he knows his user base see, so it's a credible bet.

    A theory is that industry insiders have linked their gamertags to the giant bomb database. Plus reviews are up, so it's a no-brainer.

    Garry's Mod is probably getting more popular since it's only $5 this week on Steam.

    @MrKlorox:
    Or that a ton of people have their pirated copies up on their gamercard because they think it's much safer to play as the release date approaches. But then again, I'm sure these guys have a ton of industry friends who support their site and register to it

    I suspect people are curious about "are you the real garry?" because the achievement doesn't exist any more. They see something that's not in the official list and it piques their curiosity.
