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

I'm not really imtimidated by a persons score as I know a lot of people rent games. I own all the games I play. I reckon I don't have enough games to get to 50,000.

It says on Trueachievements that I currently have a max score possible of 32,750 but I have games I haven't started yet. I don't know if I have 18 games that I haven't started yet.

I want to try this feature too. Not sure how gimmicky it would be though.

As for your gamerscore...I suddenly feel so inadequate!

OK in that case mate I'll revert back to 90,000 if thats ok. Got the second playthrough of Prison Break to get the full 1000, Just Cause 2 to start and I'm thinking of getting Arkham Asylum again to try out the 3D gimmick. Anyone tried the 3D and know if its any good?

Its cool, there are no set limits, just HM started and wanted to increase by 20k, so set your own target and keep us posted, i think i was only looking to go up 8,000 or something, but i play my Ps3 a lot so also keeping tabs on trophies.

Ill add you in the main post. Make sure you come back and update us regularly!

Can I add myself to this? My current gamerscore is 77,803. If we are looking at targets til September 2010 I'll shoot for 90,000

EDIT: Looks like I fundamentally misunderstood the 20k part of the challenge. Make it 97,000!!

That won't be too tough GP! I'm sure you'll make it to the target with plenty of time to spare!

@Emmie - they both look pretty fun in all fairness!

Managed to get 175 off of Matt Hazard last night...strange strange game and 95 off of WET (quite a cool game really). Nearly at the halfway point for my target!

I just can't shake this illness off. I was hoping to have played some games this week but I'm just not feeling well enough. It means I need to average 30 points a day again to reach my target.
