In the next day or so I am going to hit my next milestone, 30,000 Gamerpoints! 10,000 points a year, since December 2005 when the xBox 360 was released. So I thought I would have a look back over the years…
3 Years earlier….
My first cheevo was in Project Gotham Racing 3, though I’m not sure which one it was, as xBox.com isn’t being very helpful… Since then I have played 75 games worth 62,125 points which gives me a 48.3% completion rate, that’s pretty bad. In my defence though I have a lot of games to catch up on and actually play, for example:
- Tiger Woods 09 125 / 1000
- Fallout 3 250 / 1100
- Prince of Persia 90 / 1000
- Left 4 Dead 360 / 1000
- Dead Space 0 / 1000
- Skate 60 / 1000
- UCL 2006-07 360 / 1000
- Gears of War 2 265 / 1175
- Tomb Raider Underworld 125 / 1000
There is just under 10,ooo points there to be made, which would really improve my percentage (not that I am going to max out all those!)
Favourite Achivevment

Bioshock was one of my favourite games, in fact it still ranks pretty high and is something I will go back to eventually, this was a very easy achievement, but I just thought it was clever and could have been easily missed.
Hardest Achivevment

Three words: Mile High Club – God that was so difficult to get, but when I did get it I was one happy man!
One you want, but haven’t got yet…

I find this game hard on normal! One day I will get it and it will be a Mile High Club moment I’m sure.
A few More Stats….
- Completion for each game
- Most Achievements in a day: 31 - 09/02/07
- Most Gamerscore in a day: 1,070 – 05/08/08
What’s in store for 40k?
I’ve plenty of games to get me over that mark, but how long will it take me to get there? What other fantastic gaming experiences will I come across? Who knows, that’s the beauty of it….


You should jump into our expert games on L4D. So much fun! Anyway, interesting post. I got to 20,000 after just over a year of creating my CandyStoreRock account. I do like chasing Achievements, but now I actually play games without checking to see what I can unlock. Then I go back and clean up the G's. Good stuff on hitting 30,000. It's a big number!
I will try and find time to play some expert with you, it will be a laugh
I like to know what achievements there are before I play, it just tends to build up the excitement before I get into it. I reckon I could get 20k this year but, I'll just have to see.
