The 20,000 point GamerScore Challenge. Many websites like to follow the progress of gamers and the most common way of doing so is by monitoring the number of GamerScore (GS) points (gained by unlocking achievements) a player has.

I put this challenge to you. My individual goal (HM) is to increase my GS by 20,000 points by September 1st 2010. As this seemed a popular idea, many freeola users have jumped in with their own personal challenges.

If you are interested in joining the challenge, just post your target score and how many points you are away (or just a target amount), along with your Gamertag and I'll put you on the board below.

Keep posting updates when you unlock achievements. The best way (and most manageable) would be to post the game title and the number of points achieved from the start date of your target. For instance: if I had a Viva Pinata and unlocked 600 points, I would post: "Viva Pinata - 600 points".. Points gained from before the target date do not count.

LAST UPDATE - gr13ve - 8 games - 695 points

Lets see how we get on...

HM - 20,000 point increase

400 points off? 400 POINTS OFF!?

Blimey 800 points spent on XBLA would've got you that in about 2 hours of play. ;)

And it is all over. I hope everyone enjoyed the games they played and maybe we can do something similar in the new year. I know I've got a stack of games to go through.

I had a good run after the World Cup and reached my target. I'm currently 1150 points over my target now so I almost made 10,000 points in 8 months, which isn't bad as I play games to finish them.

I've also almost caught up with my backlog of games so I can start to play new ones again. :D

I'm about the same, 8k short. Still I'm happy with the amount of points I managed to accumulate in the short period.
