I just got HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON from gamefly just for the hell of it. The game sucked but that did not stop my wife and I from getting every achievement the game had to offer. There were 2 or 3 that were a pain in the ass, but I sat there for a few hours doing these dumb ass things. The only reason for doing this was because I could not let the game go back with me missing 2 or 3 achievements. 

What are some of the games in which you just had to be an achievement whore? I am talking about a game that you really did not want to play, but at the end your inner achievement whore kicked in and you played this crap game for hours more trying to get all those sweet ass achievements.

Oblivion for me.  Had to have em all. Also because it was an easy 1000, Fight Night Round 3. You can literally get all 1000 in about 6 hours or so...

Gears 3 after i switched gamertags

I really strive for 1000 and all the achievements in games I really love....i never purposefully get games just for the score, know alot who do though.

I would have to with the Assassin's Creed games going back and finding all the feathers and flags especially when I switched Gamertags. The worst for me are always the busy work achievements I'd rather spend multiple hours struggling to find a strategy for a difficult area then mindlessly scouring the map for hidden objects.

yeah Joseph I would have to agree on that one I am in the middle of playing the whole ac series and other than the multiplayer and dlc achievement (just because I don't want to pay for old ass dlc or even bother with online play with these old games) I run all over a map for feather achi. and what not

Yeah I'm currently working on the Halo series but AC series is next on my list and trust me I'm definitely dreading all those hours I'm going to be spending searching for those feathers.

There have been a few games. I'm currently forcing myself to get the last few achievements in Blue Dragon. My desire to play the game went out a long time ago, but I just need two more items to complete the item record...

TMNT and Avatar the Last Airbender: Burning Earth. Were not the best games...but I was like what the heck, might as well.

Naruto Shippudden Ninja Storm 2

Skyrim 1000/1000 and Borderlands GotY 1750/1750.

Skyrim, I love it but the game is more than a little expansive. It takes forever to get every skill to 100.

But Oblivion was amazing!

For me, It would have to be Minecraft and the "When Pigs Fly" Achievement. It took forever to find that saddle. Also Halo Reach. Im only about 5-6 away from having them all.

Assassin's Creed II. It was soooo much better than the first one, so I felt like I owed Ubisoft something.
