10 Insulting Video Game Achievements That 'Reward' You For Sucking

2. The Exact Opposite Of Your Job - Secret Service

Despite having one of the worst video game covers of all time, Secret Service is a mostly forgettable shooter from 2008, pushed out to a bunch of negative reviews and doomed to haunt the bargain bins of grocery stores everywhere. Still, its legacy lives on in this one achievement, which rewards you for failing to do the one job the game asks of you.

As you might have guessed from the imaginative title, Cauldron HQ's release casts you as a member of the Secret Service, tasked with protecting the President of the United States during a terrorist attack. Like the strapping all-American soldier you are, you whip out a MP5 and defend your country against the invading force, all the while making sure to protect the President by any means necessary.

Even seasoned pros make mistakes though, and if you find yourself, say, accidentally headshotting the man you're supposed to be protecting, the game will reward you with a tongue-in-cheek achievement titled "The Exact Opposite Of Your Job".

Zero Gamerscore, of course, because this is simply a badge of dishonour that'll remain on your personal record for life.
