Yeah, it's tasteless, but at least on topic!

Achievements are one of the most innovative features of games for this generation of consoles. Hearkening back to the old arcade days when you had to play just one more time to see your name on the high score list, achievements add play value to games. Maybe you're gamerscore isn't up to snuff, though, and you are looking for some co-op games to keep the achievement points rolling in?

Testfreaks has you covered, with a list of the best and worst games for getting achievements without much trouble. Wondering where your favorite co-op titles stack up?

Best:

Any LEGO Game, Spider-Man: Friend or Foe, Any Viva Pinata Game, Mercenaries 2, Halo 3, Crackdown, Left 4 Dead, Saints Row 1 & 2, Duke Nukem 3D, DOOM, Aegis Wing,

Worst:

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, C&C Red Alert 3, Army of Two, Gears of War, TMNT 1989 Arcade.

Blood on the sand wasn't a bad game for achievements... although one of you would miss out on some of the 'G-Unit' achievements because you weren't the main character...who's name has slipped out of my mind.

I guess this leads me to my question about the 'best' games to bump your gamerscore - are any of them character specific, meaning one of you will lose out by not being the main character.

Which leads me on to the bigger question - do you think co-op achievements associated with each character is a good idea? Could warrant another play through perhaps?

EDIT: Getting into my pants is no easy achievement I can tell you.

HAHA, this is an awesome post!

I just wanted to add that so far Ghostbusters has been a trophy-fest for me.

gears has co-op specific achievements including one for playing the entire game as dom.

i did pretty well with army of two and gears, don't know how they managed to get through those games with 100 points. if you're looking for points, you might as well try one of the harder difficulty levels to get an achievement after each level/act. that's silly to dock them because they played an easy difficulty and didn't get much. besides, flying through a game at a difficulty that is too easy is no fun. maybe i'm just not much of an achievement whore

wow you're really asking for some nasty comment... but i will resist

Fallout 3 was also a good one for achievements. Easy to get but you have to have time on your side.

Playing through on hardcore will net you 210 points. And that's only counting the level completion and boss defeats.

And why does everyone hate Tenchu Z?
