Achievements and trophies are great as mini-goals you can set for yourself in games. However, to end up using it as a macho thing against other people, is absurd. I do find high score boards are better for this. Like, among friends, a friendly high score board is cool. It does motivate one to press on and try to do something. Well, except for this ONE guy who insists on having EVERY top score in EVERY mode of Geometry Wars 2 on my friend list. BLECK!
