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 struggled at first to see who had updated what, but can be a bit tricky keeping up to date with everything.

Thank-you for your help so far!

Yeah, I'm usually updating it when I see something but I'm not feeling the best right now.

Updated.

Gaming mods (and myself) - if there are any updates required, would it be possible to add them when they pop up. The best thing to do (as I have found) is to check the last time the post is edited and if the new edit is newer than the last user post, then it should be up to date :D

I'll do my best to keep on top of things, but unfortunately work is a pain during the day as I struggle to get online (3 computers between 6 of us...one being slower than Homer Simpson walking through thick treacle).

Thanks! :D

Should be Online tomorrow at home and can update what i have done in my time offline, not too much as i have been focusing on Ps3 games as of late.

But did get SEGA Racers last night (really fun!!) - picked up like 6 achievements from it last night, but can't recall how many points!

Oh and i have tweaked my target, just due to being offline for a while to gain some achievements and moving has decreased play time!

Finally figured out how to drift on Grid and got 2 of the 3 drift achievements. The last one is a DLC achievement and I haven't downloaded the DLC yet.

An extra 30 points on the board then.

I just sent that back Dav - it was good and is like GTA but in the war lol.

I just had too many other games to be playing and it was one that would take some time, but it does give out some achievements early on so worth a go!

I've got 175 points on Bionic Commando so far. It's starting to annoy me so I'm not sure I'll see it throught to the end.

I've got Saboteur arriving this week from LoveFilm so hopefully that is a bit more entertaining.
