    That is one big milestone and some serious gaming! Though there must be thousands of people out there who've gone far past the 20,000 mark, you're the first person I know who has reached it! Well done!

    i really cant see how you can get to 20,000 points, i'm having trouble cracking a thousand

    are they making the achievments to hard now? i just won the 'english league' in pro evo which is takes a fair few hours to complete and got next to no points (10 i think) its just crazy

    looks like i'll be rotting down the bottom for near future

    It is indeed annoying to have spent a lot of time on an element in a game to then get no reward for doing so. Xbox live arcade titles are the worst for this. You get 20 gamer points for completing astropop with 4 characters which equates to clearing 128 stages for example!

    Play games like Tomb Raider I got over 700 points for little over a weekends work (I quite enjoyed the game too).

    John Madden is another easy one, I got all 1000 pts in a week after borrowing it and Fight Night from a friend.

    I've now just gone back to playing Oblivion, done a few more missions on the main quest (that's another 100 pts, thank you), and hopefully I'll get a few more achievements in either the main or fighters guild quests before too long (if I don't get too side tracked in other quests - currently trying to do the destruction master trainer quests "find 20 bear skins" I'm up to 18 but the last 2 bears are avoiding me (wish I hadn't sold any before I knew I needed them )

    King Kong is a desperately easy 1000! Haven't ever played it but I hear it's the easiest on 360 for points. If you like points might be worth a rent.

    FIFA gets on my nerves, I've played it to death. There are some stupid achievements. How on earth can I get a defender to win 50 man of the match awards?

    i thought that about the achievements on fifa, when i got the game i had a look through at the achievents like i usually do with 360 games and i just thought they were all such a joke!

    Apparently to get the defender/midfielder man of the match award you can put them on the pitch as forwards and still get the achievement.

    Kong is extremely easy, if you can get on with it. I got the first achievement fairly early on but got fed up with the game - my brother has just started playing it and got quite a few achievements over a weekend.

    Play the Cups on PES6, I got 280 points playing through those last night. Took me about an hour with games on 5 minutes.

    As for easy achievement games - http://www.achieve360points.com/list/diff1

    When I joined the leaderboard a week and a half ago I was 41st (ie rock bottom). Now I'm 22nd ^_^ Still got Amped, King Kong, PGR3 and Fight Night Round 3 in my collection to play, amongst others.

    Ooooh, I'm up to #2 on the Leaderboard, yay for me!

    As for the GamerScore discussion, I'm not too fussed about my overall score, it's nice to be 2nd on this Leaderboard and I must admit I felt chuffed when I broke the 10,000 point mark. Pretty slow going mind, I had the 360 at launch.

    For me the achievements are all about getting the most out of games you really like. PGR3 had some really tough achievements but I spent ages trying to get them all just because I love the game. If I don't like a game, I won't bother with the achievements.

    Anyway, sorry Mr Danger Frog, you're down to #3!

    i'm peeved that the last achievement in Viva Pinata will come only if i play the game for X hours. having already finished every single milestone in the game, i.e. 100% of everything, it's rather annoying

    Yeah I managed to get all the other achievements in less than half the time needed to get that last achievement, think I've still got about 8 hours to go, might leave it on overnight or something.
