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

Halo ODST was a fun game, think i picked up a few achievements from it, but didnt complete it or go into it much.
Good luck to both of you in your quest, and the nice thing is you may discover some great games along the way!

Im currently sitting at 29600odd so I reckon getting to 50k is what Im aiming for. And just to spice things up a little I'll go for the same end date as you!
Achievement race gogogogogo! :D
Got an email from boomerang, my first game is on its way - Halo ODST, bit peeved seeing as it was 12th in my list but meh as long as I eventually get to play everything I'll be happy.

Ok, up to 650 points now on Ghostbusters and I think that is my realistic limit.
Now to send that back (sad face now as I loved playing through it) and onto CSI: Deadly Intent. Fingers crossed for a good 900 (although my target of 400 (40%)from each will be good enough!)

A few more to add to Ghostbusters...still playing at the moment so will update soon!
Looking at the Final Fantasy XII trophy list, which is likely to be similiar to the achievement list, there don't seem to be a lot of them, but what is there looks quite difficult to achieve.
RPG's are normally horrible for achievements, i think on most the ones i played as of late i didnt get more than 5 of them!!
Hoping FF13 is awesome and has loads of good ones!

Yeah, I'm on the 360 achievements website. I've been involved in a few boosting sessions like PGR3 and 4, Fuzion Frenzy 2 etc. As I'm playing older games, the online is basically dead, which makes boosting easier if you have a friend or 2.
I don't really play games for the achievements. I play games that I enjoy as they are the ones I buy. If I was in the industry or just wanted to play a ton of games for no reason other than to play them, then I probably would rent more games. If I was in the industry, I'd probably get games sent to me, which would be great. :)

The xbox360achievements.org website is particularly handy when looking to rent a game. The postal service is pretty good as there are no time restraints and, if used sensibly, can get you through a huge amount of games at a fraction of the cost of buying them.

Cheers GP, I'll update this page frequently (as well as the rentals thread) and if a game you own pops up and need online achievements for, then give me a shout and I'll "boost" with you :)

Worst achievement list i've experienced so far is for Ninety Nine Nights. Japanese hack-n-slash game. There are about 5 achievements. All of them are completing the game with a different character. Each achievement is worth 200g!
My completionist nature is totally dominating at the moment. There are so many games I haven't even started as I'm working on finishing some of my older games.
For example, I'm in the process of playing through 50 tournaments on Tiger Woods 07 and I'm not skipping any rounds. Currently got about 3 tournaments to go. I'm also considering studying up on techniques to play Hexic so I can get the 6 black pearl ring achievement. I think I need psychiatric help.
As for rental games, I never touch them. I don't have the same interest to play a game I've rented as a game I own, particularly with achievements going on the profile etc.
