X360A has come up with the achievements on 4 (count 'em 4) huge upcoming Live Arcade games. Achievements have been revealed for Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Alien Hominid HD, Catan, and yes, Worms. We can only assume Catan is the shortened title for Settlers of Catan. Catan's achievements are fairly basic, of the "get X many points" variety. The SOTN achievements have a spoiler in them, so read at your own risk. The Worms achievements are centered around online play and will more than likely be unlocked by regular play. The Alien Hominid HD achievements range from funny to difficult. Some of them are downright evil (beat the final boss without using a continue -- 30 pts). So evil that you have to pronounce it "E-ville."
Hopefully this is a sign of these games releasing soon. We'll certainly welcome the fresh blood. Then again, how the hell will we pay for them all?

Settlers of Catan achievements are much like UNO's - rewards you for playing a lot. Which I will be. >:)

Unless they speed up Worms, I may not buy it. Okay fine I may be upset, wait and throw a tantrum in the mean time. But it'll be one hell of a tantrum!

I wonder, that in 15 years time, we'll be able to download today's games such as Gears of War and Rainbow Six in much the same way as we download yesterday's games - Doom, Worms, Castlevania. I tried explaining this to my father and he could barely believe how far gaming has come in the blink of an eye.
Slightly off-topic, but the XBLA makes me feel my grand-old-age of 23. If they decide to release Sonic 2, complete with split-screen multiplayer and teleport boxes, I can die a happy man.
*sob*

Spelling error:
Alien Hominid HD- Hungry Yeti 10
Eat 50 KGB Agenst with the Yeti.
Should be Agents
Is this a typo also:
Castlevania
Seeker 35
Explore 200.6% of the game.
i think they meant 100.6% but i could be wrong

@#6 --> Nope, that's not a typo. If you complete both castles you attain 200.6% completion of the game!

It is true that Catan Online is an online version of Settlers of Catan. I've had it for maybe a year and its not too bad. There are also other versions out there also. From what I can gather Brian Reynolds (of the Civilization fame) and Klaus Teuber (the author of the boardgame) reworked the AI so it probably won't be quite the same for XBLA.
