I've racked up a lot of points this last couple of weeks.

1000/1000 in Fable 2 and Fallout 3 then 400 odd already in Mirrors Edge, Lips, Scene It and Banjo The only game I'm slacking in is Gears 2 with only the first chapter complete.

I love the little blighters. I'm not really into getting as big of a total score but I love trying to get as many as I can in the games I play. I see them as little challenges thrown down by the developer, i.e. in Banjo Kazooie there's one for getting over a certain speed in a vehicle built with less than 5 parts. After quite some thought I solved it by flying to the top of Nutty Acres (which is huge) and switching vehicle to just a chair Just after he landed, or should I say crashed, I got it

They also quite often open up as avenues of the game I hadn't considered, or wouldn't have normally encountered; certain play styles, story lines, alternative directions, like the wheel of misfortune in Fable 2 or playing all the classes in Too Human.

The best bit of all is I'm back above Haly again Though I doubt this will last long!

I remember when you used to have the same as me. Then you slacked off. Hopefully you'll challenge once more.

Not tried multiplayer yet, not sure if that'll let it down. I'm saving my achievement whoring for a second playthrough
The multiplayer is actually quite good fun

I still need to try and somehow catch you three up. At one point Jen was nowhere near me then through dedication and hard work she flew straight past me! Not really been close to her since.

On a side note, my personal best for a single day is 2005 points, back in the days of NBA/NHL 2K6 where you only needed 5 achievements for 1000 points.

I got a 100 last night playing fight night 3 which is damn good for me as I am pants at getting these points
I am starting to feel it though but am a complete & utter nub when it comes to getting achievements. I want to get more than my long time online mate & would you believe I am only 1 single point below him after last night

I wasn't aware that Football Manager 2006, 2007 and 2008 threw points at you. .

Excessive free time really more than anything else
I've certainly slacked in my scorewhoring now, I've got Summer Athletics and Madden 09 that I've hardly touched, probably just send them back instead. Also got NBA2k9 I've played a bit but doubt I'll 1k it. There's so many great games about, I'll save my avid scorewhoring for when there's a drought next year.

So how do you go about getting them chaps & chapessessssss ?
Do you check on a site or do you look on the console game thingy & go after specific ones ?
Me I've just been playing the games, Wandering about really not knowing wtf I am sposed to be doing

Can we have tips in here or shall we start another thread to avoid clutter ?
