After 7 glorious years of Xbox LIVE I have accumulated a Gamerscore of 29,988.
For the sake of this post let's round that up to 30,000.
This full calendar year I will try to double that score and bring it up to a cool 60k.
That works out to be 2500/month or about 82/day. So that works out to be about 3 games a month.
I will update the blog periodically to track my progress on what I'm playing and how much I scored from each game.
If anyone owns any of the games on THIS LIST (Dropbox link, it's safe, will download an excel doc) and would like to lend them to me to help me achieve this lofty goal that would be much appreciated, if not then it's off to the bargain bins!
Current Gamerscore: 38,188

January review.
- I found out that sports games are a lot harder if you don't know the rules to the actual sport.
- The LEGO series games are fantastic. They are great at bringing the selected universe to life and manage to throw in a good amount of humor. If you love LEGO or any of the franchises that they have adapted you should give them a try.

February review.
- I dove back into Battlefield 3 this month, after a 3 month break, hence such the low scores. I did manage to grab a few achievements from BF3 from the new expansion
Points earned, (February) = 855 (-590)
MARCH
Ghost Recon A.W. 2 230
Gears of War: Judgement 310
Bully: Scholarship Edition 380
March review.
- I picked up GoW:J so that net me a handful of points for this month, and I will continue to play that for a while. If there is any universe I am totally engrossed in it is that of Gears.
- I have fallen a bit behind these last few months (I am 590 points behind schedule). I have been preoccupied with real life stuff. Hopefully now I will be able to get back into a groove. Might have to go pick up some more LEGO games to buff up the score a bit.
- Went back and played Bully, an old Rockstar game. It's pretty much GTA set in a private school. Good "clean" fun.
Points earned, (March) = 920 (-2170)
APRIL
Bully: Scholarship Edition 620 (1000/1000)
Gears of War: Judgement 30
Battlefield 3 70
April review.
- Finished off Bully and went back into Battlefield to play the new expansion. I got stuck there for a while until a friend came over and we played some Gears multiplayer. I had blasted through the Gears campaign and never really gave the MP a chance. Now I am in the process of playing through the campaign on insane difficulty and finding the collectibles before focusing on the MP achievements.
Points earned, (April) = 720 (-3950)
MAY
Jumper: Griffon's Story 750
Prince of Persia
The Forgotten Sands 920
Gears of War: Judgement 10
X-Men Origins: Wolverine 470
May review.
- I picked up Jumper, based off Jumper the movie, from Future Shop for a mere $5, it was on clearance, and after playing for an hour or so I see why. Shoddy controls, obscure camera angles, lackluster environments, repetitive game play. Why play it then? Well in the hour+ I played I managed to net 400 GS. A few weeks ago we had a discussion at work about super powers, when the idea of having the power to teleport came up the next question was do you teleport like Nightcrawler or like Jumper?
- Blew through PoP, fairly easy, only missed 3 achievements, I couldn't be bothered to replay the whole game for 80 points.
- Picked up another 10 from Gears when I had a friend over playing.
- Working on Wolverine currently, it is actually a pretty decent game, considering cross overs don't do to well, I think the game is better than the movie actually.
Points earned, (May) = ()
