Ghostbusters Wins Award for Most Glitched Achievements!!

Most Original Achievement in 2009

The most original achievement is a personal favourite category of mine and the staff. It’s the one time in the awards where we award a game and its developer for a moment of sheer genius.

 

Five nominees, 5 worthy winners, but only one can be crowned the champion. Valve’s Left 4 Dead 2 has 2 great original achievements in Cl0wned (for punching 10 clowns in the face and honking their nose) and Guardin’ Gnome (for carrying our friend Gnome Chompski out of the Dark Carnival chapter). Borderlands’ nod to Super Mario Bros (My Brother Is An Italian Plumber) by awarding an achievement for jumping on the head of an enemy was pure class, as was Fairytale Fights’ achievement for playing as Snow White and killing the 7 dwarfs in one play session (That’s Gratitude For You). But those four were no match for Darkest of Days’ Horse Puncher achievement, which is hilariously awarded for punching a horse in the face and killing it. What’s even better is that it’s worth 100 points alone. Original, generous and enough to anger PETA no doubt. A triple whammy win then?

 

Winner: Darkest of Days - Horse Puncher
