Hey guys -
About two months ago I asked in this thread for GAF's help in coming up with Viva Pinata: Party Animal's 50th achievement. This wasn't a planned marketing BS thing, it was literally me and our producer from Microsoft getting Achievement Writers Block mere hours before we had to lock off all the text in the game. And thankfully you responded with some fantastic ideas!
And now we can reveal what the achievements are! I don't remember off hand how many Gameroints each one of these is worth - I'd have to turn on my 360 to check, and that would require me to get up off my chair, and, well screw that.
The Achievement that we ended up using from GAF was #20, the Classic Gamer one, suggested by Sporsk and John Harker, who now have their names in the credits. Oh, and the final one was inspired by GAF too. These were a lot of fun to make. Our QA guys hated me for some of them, though
