Fallout 3 had some stupid ones, like reach level 10 with good, neutral and bad karma, and then the same at level 20 or whatever......just dumb tbh
Good examples of how to do trophies/acheivements

True, but once I saw these I found online you can just save before you reach the level, get bad karma then level up, load, get good karma and level up. Saved me hours.

Yup, that's how I did it.
It's also quite handy that slaughtering the entire population of megaton is just about enough to get you from super duper good karma, to bad karma.
Plus it's kinda fun.

Yeah but that's still bad. The game forces you to play it retardedly to get the achievements. Whereas they should just require a little extra effort and knowledge on a normal play through.

Assassin's Creed 1 and 2, Uncharted 1 and 2, Bioshock.
All possible, but not all easy.

Personally, I prefer trophies that tie into progression rather than 'mess about for ages doing this rubbish thats often luck or mindless'. Also nice to see trophies for progressive difficulty.
Uncharted, Bioshock, Ferrari Challenge, Fallout and Infamous are examples of ones I liked. You could see by trophy progression roughly how far you, or a friend where into the game, including what difficulty.
Warhawk had, imho, awful trophies - random stuff like 'do this, with this weapon, whilst someone else is doing the other' - to me, most of these were unattainable without dicking about for hours, or getting someone to boost with you. Either way, dire.
GoW / GoW2 are both canny - I would have liked to see less stacking on golds for thing like 'find and use 2 urns' and have that as a bronze and say a gold for 'finish on titan difficulty'
Also hate MP grind trophies - but yet I wish there had been say a bronze in Uncharted 2 for say 'complete a MP coop game in crushing mode'

Fallout 3 had mostly good achievements, but, as mentioned, the karma ones were annoying. As were the Bobblehead collecting ones especially as you could miss a couple 
Crackdown had some fantastic achievements too. And I quited liked GTA:IV's achievements but I'm probably in the minority.

Missable trophies in a RPG are bad, so you play 50 hours only to find you need to start all over again as you missed a stupid Bobblehead figure, that is lameAs were the Bobblehead collecting ones especially as you could miss a couple
Luigi's Purple Coins as Luigi has to be one of the most challengingly horrible levels I've played in recent games. Loved it though. Just the right level of controller-throwing evilness.
I like acheivements which you unlock thorugh gameplay. Bionic comando is good like this ie most of them are challenges completed throughout the game like 50 headshots etc... I no longer do collectables if theyre ridiculous - id rather play another game than spend hours scouring levels for a flag or pigeon these days...
Lost planet CE put me off playing the game tbh - 5Gs for completing each difficulty and they dont stack ?!
Online acheivements are annoying when the game looses popularity. Gears 2 Veteran Gear and Seriously are right gits!

Yeah I agree with you especially on the collection thing. I mean who actually bothers collecting all the stuff, go collect stamps video games are meant to be fun.
