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...

I think I'll set myself a target of 15000 to go for.
I'm currently on 10894 after getting 335 from Halo 3 ODST today :)

I don't normally get much time to play games, otherwise I'd set myself a more ambitious target :P

Most of them are fairly easy although they can be time consuming. The campaign ones are easy enough to notch up. The ones Im going to have most difficulty in getting are knife 5 friends online and get 20 demolish kills online. Most people I know still have to get the demolish one.

I'll need to get some games with you at some point. Without trying to sound "wrong" I've not played with you yet.

It was actually a pretty fun game...if you had enough players that didn't quit. It was interedting to see the cross-platform in action.

I used to fair quite well in the games as teamwork and tactics played a huge hand. Wish it was more popular as certainly would play online again.

Need to add my points from Tropico and the othe rgames I have on rental at the moment. About a month left to get 8k or so. Eeek!

Aye it is indeed, although Im not sure how you tell who is on a 360 and who is on a PC. There's only ever a handful of games that have enough players in though and most of them seem hardcore.
