So who uses these services? Any sites that track game time, achievements and so on.
Game feed / collection tool sites
Playfire (Best option)
Features: Game collection, achievement comparing, social networking.
You can basically select a game to talk about and post about it from your profile, other people who own and play the game will see the update in their feed and have the option to comment. Good for finding game pals or advice on tricky bits.

I've got a playfire account as my signature suggests, but I haven't played around with it at all.

I use Playfire to update my game collection and remind myself of what games I'm playing :p
MMOS has a better sig for trophies but doesnt support all games.

I've been using True Achievements (http://www.trueachievements.com) to help remind me what I've got left. There's also a few tips on how to get whatever achievements and there are options to show secret achievements, hide DLC achievements, etc.

Just a heads up. Playfire just had a major update and profiles are disabled until you update them for the new system.

Giant Bomb is ok but it only does XBOX Live, Steam and WoW from memory.

I just joined Playfire and all my achievements automatically loaded, which was awesome. Now to work out where to find the option for a sig...

As far as I know, Playfire sigs are disabled until they re-implement them.

Is Steam syncing also disabled as I can't seem to get mine to work?

No, it'll refresh after a while. Probably high demand.

Excellent, thanks! For now, I will steal one from VanAce.

I'm assuming that they'll eventually have something that supports all the game platforms.

How have you added me as a friend before I signed up to playfire? 360 friends list?

Playfire couldn't link my Steam account either. Still pretty cool though. Like GiantBomb's system except I can't log into that anymore without it prompting me to register for a Whiskey Media account.
Shmuxor on PlayFire.

I like how the only ultra rare achievement I have is some random one in Perfect Dark Zero.

Make sure you're not entering the full Steam URL and just the username (or user id number if you havent yet set it). Not your display name either.

Steam doesn't work for me at the moment either I'll guess it might take up to 24 hours for it work for me. I am VanAce on Playfire. Also VanAce on GiantBomb

Hadn't set a custom URL. This explains why a lot of steam scraping services never worked.

Yeah, it should be more in your face with the custom URL. At least reminding you that you can set it every few days.
Perhaps try running through this with Playfire.

I used it when it first made me update and it picked up things after running it twice.
