Shadowrun's Achievement List & New Screens

While nobody can really say if PC gamers will embrace achivement points, it seems likely they will. Many already spend colossal amounts of time plugging away for experience points in MMOs, performing all sorts of strange tasks in order to get that one reagent to drop, or to level up that one weapon skill. Well, same deal with the achievement points. You do lots of weird stuff and get rewarded; pretty basic. Yet on the Xbox 360 the meta-game of achievement grinding roots itself deeper and deeper in X360 gamers' minds every day, spurring some to go out and buy King Kong and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles just because their achievements are so easy to unlock. It's a strange fascination since achievement points don't do anything. They just sit there, a public aggregate, a numerical representation of your dedication to gaming, or embarrassing reminder of how you spend your time.

Full achievement requirement details and new screens available.
