    Achievements are extra challenges added into video games that sometimes carry a point value or unlock bonus material, and are sometimes solely for bragging rights.

    So, I keep looking at new games and I'm just like, "If there's no points, why would I play that?"

    I only play games for points now a days. The only exempt games are Valve games.

    What have I become?!

    A points addict! Heh, when I play games, I first play through them normally, and if I get achievements then awesome, and if I feel like it I replay them and aim for achievements.

    Points have no such hold on me.  I often replay games I like for no points, on 360 or any other platform.  I think it would be depressing otherwise.

    lol I know what you mean...  While deciding whether to get a multiplatform game on PC, Wii, or 360, the achievements are always one of the deciding factors.

    I'm like that. If I don't like the achievements for a game, chances are I won't buy it.
