Achievements are only good when used correctly. Like finding a part of the game that isn't obvious or easy. But stupid for points-sake.

The idea with achievements is kinda dumb these days.Achievements b4 were supose to be like a idea what you cna do in a game to make it more fun.Now its like a icon and text is more important than a real life acheivment..

@ Firewind: Good point. I wonder how many people simply haven't gone online since buying games and thus haven't updated their achievement lists...

Kongregate.
It a meta-game site.
Get achievements in the various games they have, those achievements then provide points to your account. (if you have one)
Then get levels from those points.

I know nobody looks at my "score" I do the ones I think would be fun just to see if I can do it. Sometimes it is an extra challenge to do something I would have never otherwise tried doing.

Developers are starting to use "achievements" to gauge how far players have gotten in a game, in addition to awarding cleverness. On Steam, apparently almost 20% of the people who buy Portal 2 never finish the tutorial.
Then there's the masochist achievements. No other explaination needed.
