For those regular to this site, you know the drill, you know the games. But if you are just starting out, it can be a bit demoralizing to be in the low score zone while all your friends are in their thousands. So here's a handy guide to kick start your Gamerscore to something respectable. Earn 10,000 Achievement Points in ten hours…
Before we begin, take note of the times completed for each game and if you follow this guide carefully you will have 10,000 Achievement Points added to your Gamerscore. Lets start this guide with the daddy of all quick gaining achievement games
AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER - 1000 points in 2 minutes 40 seconds
Stick the disc in, press B repeatedly and we have a thousand points before we have even clocked up three minutes. Here is a guide to how easy this game is and understand there will never be a game like it again.
FALLOUT 3 (PC) - 1550 points in 6 minutes
You have to move to your PC for this one, but it will be well worth it. Almost as fast as Avatar, as it all depends how fast you can type in the cheat codes. You enter codes, achievements unlock, even the ones for the DLC! The best thing is you don't have to buy the DLC's to get the achievements either. There is a video guide to this cheat here and the codes are located here.
BACKYARD FOOTBALL 2009 - 1000 points in 12 minutes
Time to get another thousand before thirty minutes is up. After Avatar we have all been doubtful we would ever see a super easy game again, then along comes Backyard Football 2009. The whole thousand points can be picked up in one quarter and the difficulty is marked as 0/10. Interested? Of course you are and the guide is right here.
NHL 2K6 - 750 points in 15 minutes
There are only five achievements in this game, however the last one "Penalty Shot" for 250 points can be tricky for some. Because we are pressed for time, pick up the first four in one game using two controllers and then attempt the Penalty Shot achievement. If you can't get it, move on as the clock is ticking. You can find the achievement guide here.
NBA LIVE 06 - 795 points in 1 hour
You don't even have to play a game to get almost 800 points in this game. Simulate a season with LA Lakers or San Antonio Spurs and you'll be almost guaranteed to win all the trophies and have the best season ever, just by pushing the A button a couple of times. Well, maybe more than a couple. There is a guide right here.
Need for a well deserved break as we have banked 5095 points and it's only been an hour and thirty-five minutes.
DASH OF DESTRUCTION - 200 points in 15 minutes
There's really no excuse not to download this game from Xbox Live Arcade. The game is free and the points are super easy. What more could you ask for? A guide? Well, ok, there is one right here. (Ed - note this game has recently been pulled for Xbox Live Arcade and is no longer available)
KING KONG - 800 points in 1 hour and 30 minutes
This game is appalling, so use the "All Levels Unlocked" cheat and you only have to complete the levels with achievements. You will not get the "Game complete" achievement and of course you will miss out on some of the levels, but believe me, you are not missing out on much. Click here for the achievement guide.
NBA 2K6 - 1000 points in 30 minutes
There are only five achievements in this game and they all can be picked up by playing one game. The trick is to set it up and plan it right. Max out all your stats and you can't miss the hoop. Click here for the achievement guide.
MLB 2K6 - 1000 points in 1 hour
You can probably complete this game in 30 minutes, however the controls can somewhat be a little tricky and it might take some people an hour. There is a guide right here.
COLLEGE HOOPS 2K6 - 1000 points in 1 hour
There are only five achievements in College Hoops 2K6 and all can be picked up in one game. Again you need to fiddle with the gameplay sliders and create a player who is seven foot and with stats at 99. This player should help you with the blocks. All the achievements can be unlocked using a second controller as well. Click here for a guide
Time out. Five hours and 50 minutes and we have gained a massive 9095 points. Do you want to call it quits? No, I didn't think so, as we are so close now and only four hours and ten minutes left.
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES - 1000 points in four hours
There are quite a few games that can be completed in four hours, but this is one of the easiest simply because there are no collectibles. Just button bash your way through each level and you will gain achievements. The game is also very, very linear so unlikely you will get stuck. There is a guide here for extra hints.
There you have it, a total of 10,095 points in just under 10 hours. Perfect game plan if you intend beating a rival in one night or simply fattening your Gamerscore. Feel free to comment if you feel this guide could be improved.
