When I first signed up for this a few weeks ago, I thought it'd just be an occasional interesting thing to look at. Now though, I find that I look quite carefully each week as it shows a fascinating insight into mine and everyone elses playing habits. Would still quite like to see a list of what unique achievements everyone has (I know its very big however so cant be a weekly thing).
This week, I continued playing Kameo due to wanting the achievements and I'm really glad I did. Its only when chasing the A ranks on each level does this game really come into its own. Chaining combos using multiple elemental forms (love setting Deep Blue's oil spill alight with Ash for a crispy Troll sandwich
) is the true raison d'etre of this game. Without achievements I would never have bothered this far and would definitely have missed out.
Other thing this week is I got a copy of Xbox Arcade Unplugged which features 6 full XBLA games (not bad deal when you consider I got the lot for ?6.99) and discovered Geometry Wars. I've never played the original or the demo, so this hit me hard and I can see why everyone raves on about how addictive it is - I'm almost at the point of buying it from XBLA just so that its on my hard drive and I dont have to use to the disc to play it everytime!
Not tried any of the other games except for Wik yet, but looking forward to trying them all this week.

Only played it the once though and was sneezing my head off at the time, so will give it another look.
