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

Send some points my way :p

I had a huge spell between April and the beginning of this month where I just didn't have the time for gaming and when I did, I spent most on MW2 online!

Hopefully I'll limit the damage and get another 1000 by the deadline (if I am lucky).

But hats off to you Hedfix...double the target! Fantastic job!

Finished Alan wake on 505

Ah found my original post. Well since my 20K I've now climbed by almost another 20K to a score of 200,354. so If I can somehow rustle up another 4K soonish I can double the target by the deadline. ;)

So here is my long awaited update. Still think I am going to fall quite short of 20k. Meh, it was fun anyway and got me gaming again!

So...
475 more points on Monsters vs Aliens
485 on Split/Second
335 on Alan Wake (hopefully a few more to come!)

So that's another 1295 points towards the total!

I had like 85% of the trophies on BC2 on Ps3, then downloaded the SPECAT kits, now got most them, but they threw in the Onslaught trophies which you have the pay more for, sucks the big one.

Without the added ones i was pushing a big score and my closest ever completion apart from Assasins Creed 2 i think!

Still need to update mine, it will happen soon lol, but i am currently on about 22,400

EDIT: Have updated everything but the total score of my points since starting lol, was too much effort for this time of the evening lol
