Nice list, it’s just the achievements that annoy me are the ones that require a lack of talent such as Die 50 times or anything variation of not doing something right. Cos thats not actually an achievement. If anything it’s the total opposite. I think achievements should definately be something that you can gain through a natural progression of exploring and discovering what is hidden in the game.

Hmm good point Chaz. It doesn’t really seem like it should be an achievement, but I guess it depends on what type of game you’re creating. The best achievements though are the ones where you actual feel proud to have achieved, such as exploring the game like you mentioned or completing tough tasks.
