I just finished playing Condemned: Criminal Origins (yes I know, the old one), and I'm just two achievements shy from having S-Rank on it (going melee all the way through the game). I'll get back to that at a later stage. So now I'm holding Condemned 2: Bloodshot in front of me, and lo' and behold it has 16 of its 38 achievements requiring to play on Xbox Live.
 
Now don't get me wrong here, some games have heavy focus on being played online in various forms, and I've even heard the multiplayer in Condemned 2 is a lot of fun. Only problem is that it's near impossible to do this for people like me who bought the game 2 years after its release, unless I beg people on the net to help me out (which feels really cheap). Also, with the game's major focus being its awesome singleplayer experience, it feels so frustrating to more or less know I'll never get a higher grade than B, maybe A, on this game.
 
Ah well, guess I shouldn't complain too much, as the singleplayer is awesome in itself. Just sucks sometimes to be an achievement-whore.
