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

A short burst on Lego Indy 2 at lunch didn't yield any Achievements, disappointingly. Got past the first level but apparently I need to finish it in 5 minutes to get any GS.
Another 20G from NHL 10 last night
Much neater HM.
Just tidied up the original thread, as so it's easy to find the "reply" button.
I can see this becoming HUGE!

170 points from Trivial Pursuit (20 minutes worth of playing...)
Actually good fun answering a whole host of questions and looks like some easy points!

As I predicted, my progress is slow at the moment. I'm concentrated on getting the platinum medals on PGR4 so it is a little time consuming. Got 10 left to get now though so maybe the end is in sight. The Platinum Plus DLC challenges are looking super challenging so I may not try too hard for them.
Well i picked up a couple of MAG trophies, they are long winded to get but its a fun game so it will be an ongoing project for some time i reckon!!
Anybody, such as myself, who is having trouble getting achievements, here's a nice little list of games with easy GS points :)

Aye it is that, Im getting sick of shoving my hand down a toilet or trying to join up all those electricity circuits - I hate the fact that the puzzles change each time you die so you cant use a guide. Sometimes it's like the puzzles are impossible and you have to fail in order to get a 'working' one. Could just be me though.
