That's an excellent point about cheating, Calibrator. I like that a lot. The more I think about it, the more it seems that achievements should be about you, not some other standard. If you are really good at some aspect of a game--especially something that most people haven't practiced or aren't any good at--the right achievement can really make you feel special. Even if, let's say, you don't last very long in a game like Space Invaders, you might be really good at some aspect of it, such as hitting the bonus saucer or never hitting your own bases.
