10 Video Game Achievements You Don't Want On Your Profile

10. Our Little Secret - Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands

It is the ancient and unspoken law of nature that outdoing someone in a game immediately grants you ultimate bragging rights. The pharoahs of Egypt probably did it after beating someone at Ur, and so do we when we beat a game on its highest difficulty setting.

But what if you cheated along the way?

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, like many other titles out there, allows the player to adjust the difficulty setting mid-game. However, unlike most other titles, it won't let you do it without insulting your ego first. If you think you can get away with lowering the difficulty before a particularly hard fight and then switching back, The Forgotten Sands will put you in your place by giving you an achievement for it.

It's called "Our Little Secret," but in this case, "our" might as well mean everybody checking out your profile. The achievement is a dead giveaway to your friends that you had to manipulate an encounter, for one reason or another.

Maybe it would've been better to stick to lower difficulties from the get-go.
