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

How often to you play your xbox in relation to the PS3?
If it's 40% of the time why not opt for 40% (or so) of the score?

Just updated your score on the main post GP. Well done!

Okay, played through the story of Tomb Raider Legend now and collected all the rewards. Just got the time trials and playing through the game on the hard mode to do now.

I've got 555 achievement points off Tomb Raider Legend for my challenge. That should take my Gamerscore to 12340.

I have all but eragon. And did Lost a while back. Actually won a GAD for my Lost walkthrough.

CSI games are fairly easy to get points from. The first one you just need to complete the game and the second one they do come thick and fast, although you may need to go back like I'm doing to mop up one or two achievements.

Open Season is one for points and I think any Disney/Pixar related game would be too! They are aimed for kids after all!
