Splinter Cell: Double Agent, destined to be my favorite Xbox 360 game until Halo 3 comes out, has its achievements listed on Xbox360achievements.org. Interestingly enough, a huge portion of the achievements are of the secret variety.

What’s really great about these achievements is that they aren’t the boring “Completed Stage 6″ variety. Most of them are actual achievements like finishing a level without being detected, complete the game with best ending, etc. etc.

Although I guess the secret achievements could be story completion milestones, but that would just be… really lame.

I saw this over on 1up, and they also astutely observed:

There are plenty of Achievements to be had, though the value of some of them is a bit questionable. Completing both training missions in solo mode is worth 40 points, the same amount awarded for completing solo mode on Hard. That better be some damn tricky training, is all I’m saying.

Which is true, I guess. I typically don’t pay too much attention to the point values, though. I pretty much consider all achievements to be equally valuable. This is probably due to my preference for “completing” a game as opposed to just racking up points. Either way, seeing the achievements for Splinter Cell has made waiting for it that much harder.
