Major Nelson has just announced on his blog that the latest wave of gamerscore resets has begun. This time it seems to be specifically targetted against Gears 2 achievement hacking but by the sound of it you are going to lose all of your gamerscore if you have been caught, the score reset is going to take a bit of …

Achievements, and by extension, trophies are a strange thing indeed. Completely worthless, the digital badges of honour make us battle through the tedious bits of games.

Before you achievement “ladies of the night” get excited, us South Africans are about to be shafted …
