I don't get how you could criticize a game for having achievements. Like it or not, a large population of 360 gamers play for achievements, hell - I played Gears of War for like an extra 5 months getting all the weapon achievements. Calling them "silly things" doesn't really make sense, it was a brilliant move by Microsoft because there are plenty of people who purchase a 360 version of a game over a PS3 or PC version simply because they have the (added fun of) achievements. Some games would be absolutely nothing (imo) without the achievements, ex. = Crackdown.
