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

Got 70 points from Oblivion, but not really my kind of game, so that has gone back. I think if i had enough time to sit and play i might enjoy it, but didn't really hook me in and i got plenty other games i would rather try!

Got 30 more from a few things on MW2, but didnt play games much at the weekend!

I still can't get into trueachievements after I messed up my registration. I left them a message and I even tried to recover the GamerTag after trying to register again.

Pretty close to finishing PGR3 in achievements, although I'll be doing a few online races after I've finished. No points haul at the moment though.

It's similar to Bayonetta. Literally the difficulty is all over the place! The points payout is going to be low, but aiming for at least 200 from the game before it goes back - if I can hack it that long.

Love the soundtrack though - it's like My Beautiful Kalamari!

Got 10 points off of Command & Conquer: Commanders Challenge. Very unfair game the 2nd mission is evil as the difficulty skyrockets straightaway, although there are guides on youtube thankfully.

Evil evil game. :D

Well done gr13ve! Keep up the hard work!

The Foo-foos? No sign of them yet. I think scouserste was telling porkie-pies!

It's an alright game, but wouldn't know what to classify it as. It's too fast-paced to be a hack n slash, too weird a camera to be a third person shooter.

All I can say is that it is very Sega!

Up to 25 points on it now :/
