Hideo Kojima is a genius; let's get that out of the way first. Not only is Metal Gear Solid one of the best series in gaming, it's also full of fourth wall breaking moments which delight fans from easter eggs to full blown fan service moments (who can forget Meryl's codec number being on the back of the PlayStation CD case?).

Perhaps the best one though comes from the chronological beginning of the series €“ Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Released on the Xbox 360 as part of the MGS HD Collection, the achievement list is full of great titles and accomplishments. The fan favourite though has to be the achievement to create the game's infamous time paradox by killing perennial villain Revolver Ocelot before he can commit his nefarious deeds.

Reasonably early in the game, Ocelot (a young rookie during the Cold War) will be knocked out at Naked Snake's feet. Putting a bullet in his head will cause a Game Over with Major Zero calling Snake to inform him of his timeline destroying ways.

The Xbox 360 Achievement for doing so is a further nod to fans by suggesting they've stopped the series before it ever even began €“ so congrats guys, you killed a gaming legend.

I have an addiction to achievements, a craving for new bands and a dream to become Captain America. I once finished second in a Mario Kart 7 tournament so I'm kind of a big deal.
