Achievements: My Thoughts on Them

If it were not for the emeregence of digital downloads (stuff like XBLA/PSN/Wii Virtual Console), achievements would probably rank as one of the most important additions to me this generation.  i know that they are somewhat maligned, but as someone who really hasn't accomplished anything in the real world it is nice to get these little rewards for doing something in games  Trophies are somewhat similar, but i've never played a PS3 so i don't really know how that system works.

i guess i should disclose my relatively low 36,790 and 18,489 gamerscores.  The second number is essentially starting over as my previous gamertag may be cursed - i first started using it June 13, 2010 to win Game Room "challenges".  Oringinally i was going to try for 70%, but that has proven tough with about 120 games played. (XBLA ones seem especially tough). 

i think my favorite list is for Fable 2.  Sure it breaks some of my rules - i really could do without the trading one and any co-op ones.  However, the list is kind of cool.  It does reward experiencing the game (whether it be marriage, swinging, committing an act of public indecency, etc). 

Anyone out there have their favorite list? 

Yes, i like achievements (most of the time).  However, i am not sure i like how some games use them.  These views do not necessarily express the views of humanity, the animal kingdom, the plant kingdom or even fungus.   Here are some of my view on achievements:
1) No Multiplayer Achievements - should all be single player.  Partly because of stuff like boosting
2) 50% or more of achievement should be story related. 
3) More are preferable to less, so limit the big point acheivement (maybe 250/1,000 maximum)
4) Try for not so many interconnected achievements (you don't have to do random X to get random Y). 
5) Buy to get - ok, so this doesn't apply to many games, but....  i love Game Room, but i am not a huge fan of the achievements requiring you to purchase so many games (20, minimum) to get the 1,000. 
6) Completed Games: i would like the option to show a game as complete if i don't have the DLC.
7) Multiple playthrough - ok, i'm not really a fan of multiple playthrough achievements.  i would like to see these limited.
