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

Completed ODST on heroic, got 605points out of 1000 so quite happy with that. Going to send it back to boomerang tomorrow - dont think there's much more I can get out of it.

Gamerscore now stands at 30232 so only another 19768 to go!

That's pretty impressive!

Getting a few more from CSI, slowly. May fall slightly short on the full 1000 on it, but still waiting for my next DVD allocation :/

Hope it gets sent out soon!

Just short of the full 1000. Missed two achievements in my initial playthrough, so going back to re-do one of the cases to get the last ones. Got to be really careful and check my save games...I want another 1000!!!!

Still, nearly 2000 points in a week is good going, right? If I continue at this rate I may have to alter my target to 40,000 :p

Going well HM, been playing Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm on Ps3 and it has no Trophies : (

Waiting to get a game which does, but still, Naruto is a bad game compared to the Xbox ones, really let down and it will be sent back this evening i think!!

Oh dear.

Can't wait to see if I get the last 75 points from CSI. Just had confirmation that Tesco are sending out Madagascar: Kartz next. Sounds fun and hopefully rack up over 600 points from that...

Sure, put me down for this if you like. I'm currently sitting on 164,449. So I'll try putting 20K on there before Sept 2010 for sure.

Just got Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs from Love Film so in 24 hours I should just need 19,000.

Also for the hardcore: Sign up to trueachievements.com and 360 voice.com for more feedback on your achievements. Please add me as a friend on trueachievements then if we are working on the same game we can help one another without needing to be on each other's Friendlists.

Cheers Hedfix.
Got that high on my list, along with Night at the Museum 2 (another 3 hour 1000 pointer)

I'm on xbox360achievements.org as hippymanjas (although rarely post) and swear I still have a 360voice account. I'm now JASON BRFC
