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 Emmie, will check that when I get home (can't get to it from work d'oh!)

Have the original scene it and nearly cleared out the points on that one, so planning on getting the others through Tesco Rental.

I'm nearly 1/20th of the way through the challenge (915/20000), so pretty certain I should be able to do it!

Almost maxed out Lips, the number one hits just add some awards and 250GS to the game :( Still, gotten over a thousand on it though!

Well, I have over 60 games now in my rental queue, some may prove enjoyable, so looking to get at least 400GS from each of them (obviously more if possible!)

I think i aquired most GS in one game on either;

Fable 2, Naruto Broken Bonds or AC2
(all games i loved playing lol)

I tend to get about 600-700ish on games i enjoy and play more

Saw would have been easy if I had bothered to complete it -easy 900 at least. But it lost interest when it got repetitive. Ghostbusters is a bit of a tricky one, but really fun to play. I really like it.

Should have the second CSI game coming (I imagine this would be easy, the first one was an easy 1000). Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is also meant to be great, as well as Night at the Museum 2. Worth playing for the points I guess...

It is achievable, but then it will take effort and time.

Good luck and would be interested to hear what games you find "easier" and more difficult in getting them.

Limited to 1000GS before downloads.

So you are right, approximately 30 games in 8 months. Putting it that way...it seems a bit of a challenge. Must upload my current score though as gained nearly 800GS in 3 days. It's do-able, but whether it will be done...well that's another question!

> Good luck with that!

Thanks...I may now need it!
