Achievement



An Achievement is a reward bestowed and given to players when they accomplish notable gaming feats and overcome significant obstacles in Windows Games for Vista and the Xbox 360 sets of games.

Most Achievements also endow upon the player Gamerpoints that count towards a gamer's total Gamerscore. These points, while not redeemable, are intended to serve as a tangible form of special rewards for unusual or skilled actions within game play.
