Robot Earns 360 Achievement

Posted by Stephen Johnson - Monday, February 26, 2007 1:55 PM

Gamer David Harr wanted to finish all the achievements in Perfect Dark: Zero. Someone wanting to 100% that particular title is newsworthy in itself, but Harr built a robot to finish the final challenge.

To win the last 60 points in Perfect Dark: Zero, Mr Harr figured he needed to play 2,000 offline matches. No one is going to play that much PD:Z, so Harr invented a machine to  push the buttons again and again, starting 2,000 matches and gaining him his coveted 60 points.

Using $60 worth of electronics and some parts he had lying around, Mr Harr built an xBot machine in about 10 hours.

Very cool, Mr. Carr. Very uncool, Perfect Dark: Zero. That has to be among the lamest achievements we've ever heard of.

Pfhhhh I've got a friend that has got every achievement in that game. The funny/sad thing is that he doesn’t even try for them. So does that make him the equivalent of robo cop in the gaming industry?
