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

45 points from AvP. Going to send Borderlands back today, still really enjoying it and nowhere near completion but I'll probably buy it in the future.

Another 50 points on Fable 2 last night.

I'm going to start renting games again soon so hopefully that will boost the gamerscore a little quicker than is happening just now.

Updated with a few more from Spyro, but think that game has run its course for me to play, might just try get a couple more but i am pretty bored of it now lol.

I am hopefully going to get Heavy Rain or SEGA Racing from LoveFilm next, says Long Wait but i have put it as top priority, so fingers crossed!

You can always set your own challenge for whatever console you own.

Anyway, I'm finished for the night and I've got another 110 points on Sega Rally. Still got a number of points to play for with that game.

The Spyro games haven't been the same since Insomniac let the IP go, shame, since 1-3 were absolutely awesome. Good to see everyone getting along nicely with their scores, almost makes me wish I had a 360 to join in :P

50 more points for me on Sega Rally. It's going okay so far. The later races in the different series are quite challenging. It is a good achievement list in that it trickles points to you as you play through the game and there are points available for completionists too.
