Today I went up a few more points with some achievements earned with the help of my brother. I was also watching him play some Halo 3 on XBOX Live and I must say I am really interested in purchasing a Gold membership to try as well. With the few games I have, it seems I can only unlock half of the achievements offline and the other half on. With my birthday coming up, maybe I'll ask for some of those XBOX Live gift cards.

I must say, the achievement system has sure changed the way I look at video games. Not only is it a way of determining how dedicated someone is to playing the games, but also an incentive to play many different games. I've found myself not wanting to play my older XBOX games with my 360 because there are no achievements to unlock. But also, I've been to video game stores looking at all sorts of XBOX 360 games because of the potential to raise my gamerscore a few hundred points.
