The value of achievements, on a gamer level, may be debatable. On the publisher level, if nothing else, their announcement is one more tool to hype a game pre-release.
Street Fighter IV, which drops Feb. 12 in Japan, Feb. 17 in North America, Feb. 20 in Europe, offers 47 achievements for 1000 Gamerscore for all you resume-padding, grademongering, approval seeking fighters out there. The richest will require considerable skill or commitment. Or stupid luck. Enjoy.
