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

Thanks for updating GP.

Darn, just forgotten what score I had on Madagascar. I'll upload it after a shower where I'll go for about another 100.

EDIT: 660 points in total on Madagascar Kartz

Level 4 to Level 7 isn't too bad, it's when you get up to levels 12 and 13...that's when it starts getting bad. I'm at around Level 13 - 18% now...it's really starting to feel like trophies don't make a dent in the percentage now.

As an aside to this, I just got my 1000th Trophy, which was finishing X-Men Origins: Wolverine's story mode, which is pretty cool. Not sure whether I have the patience to 100% it right now, though.

Good plan. You can keep track of your trophies on playstation.com as well if you sign in. I'm at Level 4 too, but with 115 Trophies, that's only 61% of the way through Level 4 too, so there's a way to go for Level 7 Emmie.

Updated!

Congrats on the win dav2612 - you'll get it for the deadline as you now have a game to pick from - another 1000 to catch!

Wish I'd remembered what I had earned last night now - I like checking my progress!

I got another 20 points on Midnight Club so up to 17556. I'll have that 25,000 target nailed in no time at this rate... did I state the year I was aiming for?

I picked up a few more, my total is now; 17,961

MW2 seems to be pretty slow at getting achievements and the number of GS each one gives! Only 45 points gained last night but better than nothing lol
