The achievement system coming to World of Warcraft is old news, but it looks like Blizzard is planning that same meta-game addictiveness for Diablo III and StarCraft II.
The system is "basically a gamerscore," lead designer Jeff Kaplan told MTV, referencing the point system found in Microsoft's Xbox 360 console.
