achievements add replay value and extend the life of the game. nuff said.MADVLAD123
That's really subjective. Achievements being factored into reviews should be a huge NO-NO for GameSpot. Factoring achievements into replay value is almost an artificial way of increasing scores. Replay value shouldn't be increased because, "Well I played through it a couple times, not because I actually wanted to, but because I wanted more points" Again, achievement points SHOULD NOT be factored into reviews.

[QUOTE="sdifjds"]For something that has absolutely no impact on quality of Game, GameSpot sure seems to mention achievements in reviews a whole lot. Look what they said about Ninja Turtles The Good: Online co-op play for up to four players that's legitimately fun; all the original music and voice effects are here; solid achievements list; it's only $5. Solid achievement list? I believe that is code for, "Easy Gamerscore boost" Who cares? Honestly? We all know Gertsmann is in love with his Gamerscore to the point which he files a points report every week. Achievements aren't important to me GameSpot.Gamer556

Well, it is to them, so they're going to write about it.

Not only do they write about it, but it obviously factors into their scoring of a game.

They should not be factored into your reviews.

[QUOTE="KeyWii"]Definitely, without a doubt, Red Steel.

Watch the E3 2006 trailer to see what I mean.

Now THAT is a downgrade. I remember watching that and thinking red steel would be awesome, but then I bought it....

LOL! Not only is it a huge downgrade, but it's absolutely hilarious watching that guy really get into the "game."

It looks like Jeff Gertsmann's Care-free unprofessionalism is wearing off on the entire crew of GameSpot. GregK would have never let that feature up as is.
