Challenge update - 8/5/2008
Let's break it down! p0ster ch1ld is the current leader by feeding on enough achievements for 40 points. All 10 participants combined, they put up a total gain of 605 points. Slim Pizza Boy added 510, p0ster ch1ld added 40, ElektrikGuitar added 25, CircleOne89 added 20, and futiles added 10. So in the 'Biggest gain' category, Slim Pizza Boy is obviously the winner... I would be looking over your shoulder if I was p0ster ch1ld...
If you didn't remember, today is the last day for the challenge! Better break out the games for one final push!
Challenge update - 8/4/2008
Yesterday saw some furious gamerscore action. Here's the recap. p0ster ch1ld is the current leader by sucking out 40 points.

Challenge update - 7/30/2008
Let's get this party started! The Gamerscore Challenge titled 'Still Out of Games Challenge' is officially underway! cluskevird is the creator and 10 talented gamers are in the competition. Sure, they all have some wacky gamer pics, but this competition is serious with a capital 'S'... which stands for snacks. Keep close tabs on this challenge. It's going to be an exciting 7 days!
Thanks, guys. And thanks again, cluskevird. See you guys later.
Not sure... I haven't had a chance to form a strategy yet. Today has been . . . strange.
Hey cluskevird, when are you gonna host another?
congrats MLC!!!
This was a prize challenge? I KNEW I should have put more effort into Lego Star Wars! :P
Well congrats, Poster and MLC! :)
Copngrats p0ster ch1ld! Glad that this challenge got you to delve into those games again.
I also want to say congrats to MLC2074 as well! Why? Well, because she gained the top score while not playing any new games nor did she gain a ton of points (both of which this contest was focusing on). For that - enjoy your 1600 MS points MLC!
Congrats, p0ster ch1ld. Crossed 10k and won the challenge. Nice job.

congrats!!
w00t broke 10000!!!
Woah, that graph looks really wired. I am used to big scores, and all that.
Sweet tasty points today! 30 of them to be precise! Not able to complete Two Worlds though :p Maybe tomorrow. . . errr. . . but then that's too late. :o
gosh i havent played in awhile maybe i will play some more cod3 later tonight or maybe get on right now :)
After looking at my latest achievements, I should actually have a 25 point increase when this updates... holy crap! :P
Wow, I got 20 points today?! I didn't know I got that much! lol
I tried to get some points today, but I just couldn't bring myself to complete those last 15 crosswords and instead went running around Two Worlds finding dungeons :p Maybe tomorrow I can find a few points. . .
sry guys but I have to play some nba crap, I have to give it back to my brother b4 he goes to VA!!
got 80 out of cod3 tonight i feel accomplished lol o well goodluck for the last 2 days
just got 20 more points off call of duty 3 woot maybe getting more tonight
lol im sorry to hear that :( i havent been playng for achievements in awhile lol ive been doin customs on halo a lot
Finally bought Condemned 2. . . now I have to wait for the challenge to end before I can play it :p Instead I revisited Two Worlds in an attempt to just visit the underground locations in hopes to unlock that LAST achievement. Of course, that also kept me from getting any other achievements :p
aww he passed me :(
atleats your on the board :)
15 points and tied for last place, woohoo! :P
@ poster child - Yeah, I've gotten slightly closer to a couple achievements in LSW II.
thanks, I wont have to play through the entire campaign again now
There is a way to see which levels you got the intel on. It involves starting the level and checking the menu. I forget which option it's under though, since I haven't played in a while. And once you get the intel in a level. You can just quit the level. You don't have to complete the level for the intel to count.
atleats your getting closer to some right achievements right?
I'm the only one without any gamerscore increase yet.... that's sad. lol I bet I still won't have anything by the end of this.
that sucks :( im sorry lol... im beating a lot of levels actually but they are time consuming gosh :(
I wish I knew what intels I had in campaign, now Im going to have to go back and replay levels to see which ones I missed.
im starting to get further and further in cod4 vet :) just beat another level for 40 more gamerpoints w00t
this actually is helping me gain a lot of achievements
I got another achievey!!! It was in GRAW, it was for captureing some guy. The game glitched me and I had to play the whole campiagn again to get it!!!
That's supposed to be "took another shot at... *AT!* Lego Star Wars" :P
Car juggler was a pretty fun achievement to get... not as much fun as the body juggler achievement though. :P (if that's even what it's called)
And congrats, Slim, on finishing FEAR! :)
I took another shot a Lego Star Wars again today, but only played for an hour before I lost the desire to play...again. :(
FEAR is soooooooo fun! I've only played the campaign and just need to get the ammo hog achievement to finish that off (and two of the secret achievements).
I tried a few things today, and ended up getting one achievement in Crackdown! w00t! Car Juggler down only 24 achievements to go :s
I beat FEAR!!!
yea sadly I tried mile high club and ran out of time right after the stairway
i tried mile high club just for fun and it was impossible no way in hell will i make that lol
ack! my position has been usurped
vet is tough but if you keep at it, it seems to get easy. Only 1 or 2 spots can really be frustrating. Wait till you try the mile high club!!
ya... i died atleats 20 times at the same spot but a little further each time and just gave up lol
Rock Band......
One of the stingiest of achievement games. One song left and I finish the hard tour on guitar.
I haven't even felt like playing much lately. All I did today was get slightly closer to that 80% achievement in Lego Star Wars II.
Vet is such a pain, spending 20 minutes on one spot, retrying over and over, just to move 5 feet forward and have to do it all over again.
i gained 2 more achievements on cod4 but just dont have the patience for veteran
All right, tonight I clear out Virtua Fighter and COD4...here we go
ya i dislike a lot of them that i got achievements off of
Well, all the games I play I almost hate!!! Well, except RB6 vegas. Which I just now started to get into11
lol ok we will see :) ugh all i did today was game because the gf couldnt do anything lol and everyone was busy :( o well go something out of it
YESSSS! I finally got that 5 chain achievement in Super Puzzle Fighter. Still need to work on the 7 chain though. . . mumble grumble. . .
Looks like the majority of us are out of the top two places :s But not to worry... I'm thinking on it and I'll try to come up with something.
And don't worry p0ster, this was about playing older games that we haven't had the incentive to complete! But I'll have to remember to specify for future challenges of this type to indicate "mostly played out games" to crank up the difficulty factor :p
its not easy playing games you dont like... as in my case...
im playing games that i have and havent gotten all the achievements for right now...
i just hadnt played them much
well, so much for what I though this challenge was about. I thought we were all people without a bunch of easy points to get. Seeing people pulling out 500+ in a day knocks that out of the water.
Oh well, life goes on...
you guys might see me break the 10000 barrier
uh oh on the board!!!
feel free to add me anytime if you guys feel like chatting while playing
lol ive never even tried the game... im not to big on xbla games for some reason i only have buku suduko and thats cause i like doing the puzzles... its a pretty bad game though o well :)
Dang. . . I tried desperately hard for some points in Tetris Evolution, but evidently I'm one of the worst players at the game :p I can't even get the bronze badges on most of the different modes. Heck, I can't even get the tin badge on the normal mode :s
ugh civil war is pretty boring... anyone wanna be m8s online and we can chat while playing or something?
I'm an idiot, I was playing yesterday, even though I knew this challenge was coming, and got 55 GS (3 achivements). I should have waited. :(
Well you're not that far behind me. But you ARE winning right now! Looks like my winning streak will finally end this week. Oh well, it was a good run. :P
I feel so naked with such a low gamerscore compared to the rest of you!
Good luck, everyone... looks like poster child took the early lead with 5 points! :P
hey goodluck all
and so it begins...good luck to all
Oh I am going for broke!! Broke nothing!!!
Well, here we go! Good luck to everyone and happy mining! :p
