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

dav2612 - Score to 25,000

It is a good game, but the achievements are hard to come by. If I get time I'll write a review on it.
Trivial Pursuit on it's way so hopefully will get that tomorrow. That is meant to be great for achievements!

I take it that Bayonetta is not good for achievements, i might strike it from the list, i played the demo and it was ok but not really my thing. Well it seemed real quick and button mashing!
Figured id try it for free and get achievements aswell, but if they are hard to get i may re-think

Thanks for the update Emmie - it's a 3 man job for sure :p
Another 10 ponts from Bayonetta and now she is in the post back to Peterbrough - I couldn't take the boss battles anymore :p
160 for 2 weeks work is NOT good progress. Although I did enjoy the game.

Not had a chance to play anything lately, the copy of condemned I got was damaged so sent it back and Saw is now on its way. Hopefully get more points from borderlands tomorrow.
A productive 25 points on PGR4 tonight. Decided to leave Assassins Creed to another time. Probably will be this week.

I looked, doesn't look too bad but I don't have any more points left (well, I have 250 and that's it) to buy it.

Another 20 points on South Park.
Doubt I'll get the remaining 40 though. Really tough - may get another 20 but thats it...if I had help from a friend!
Bayonetta again now. one more chapter nearly done...Really want another game, although enjoying this one too much!
