99 achievements?! :O
Some of them sound really tedious and hard (especially one free bullet)
Also portal cake references FTMFW!

Wait, why are we so sure there's no Antlion King/Queen?
Don't forget that there are eleven hidden achievements...
I suspect many of them are Ep2-related. We know the Hunter one is (unless it got cut or something). More than anything, the few Ep2-related achievements they did reveal were probably more to whet our appetites. They don't really reveal all that much. (Just the names of the people, since we already know about the antlion bit.) Or, perhaps, the ones they did reveal were revealed because the achievement objective is obtuse. (I somehow doubt the game will actually tell you to race Dog.) The One Free Bullet, for instance - who the heck would actually randomly try that?
I think there's plenty of space for surprises, here.

I imagine that the secret achievements will be for plot related events possibly like seeing the character that is supposed to die be killed or something.

It could be a secret pwntass one.
Actually you get health from Antlion grubs, but you might get stuff from the web as well. But by Web cache i think it is just the web is the caves.

I'm pretty sure the only reason there are non-secret spoiler achievements is because they are completely optional in the game. For example, for the Dog Racing achievement you might not assume you actually could race Dog and so no one would get the achievement if it was secret. The Into the Breach is probably not secret because you don't have to help them, and just walk past them. And the other spoiling achievements are also for this reason as well.
wait a minute why the **** did I post this

As a recent note about PC achievements,
If you look in the Source '07 materials, under the GUI folder; there are a number of icons for the various achievements.
It struck me that of the 42 icons in that folder (seven 'HLX' generics and 35 HL2-specific), only 35 of these are listed on the XBox Achievements page. (As a side-note, all 17 TF2 achievements are accounted for.)
Now, if these are all included under the 'hidden achievements' category, that only leaves four left over to cover all of Episode 1, 2, and Portal. (And possibly TF2...)
What I'm getting at is that it seems very possible that there will be more achievements available on Steam.
