If only you can convert the score to M$ Points, will make people actually finish the games to get free Arcade games and stuff.

And the forum is looking much nicer with loads of Gamercard avatars

I agree, that'd actually make me go back and get all the gamerpoints for Condemned. But then the point is, I suppose, that you've already bought the game, so whether you complete it FULLY is irrelevant because you won't be giving them any more money...

[Kieran76]

Well after feeling slighty ashamed at my poor effort I have managed to increase my score by a massive 60 points.

I reckon a good attitude is to try and get at least half of the points available for a game. Like Condemned being a good example. You can complete and get half the points, but if you go back and get every metal piece of bird you'll get all 970 points.

I am not really counting Live Arcade games in this, as most of them are insanely hard. Geometry Wars? Hello!!

One thing that does annoy me slightly is that when you download the trial of the game, it appears on your list of games played, and if you don't go beyond the trial it will look like you have never played it. I got the trial for Mutant Storm, and then deleted it, but it still says its a game I have played, just with 0 points. Ah well

Tell me about it, last two goes I got 94000 and then 98000. SO close to the 100,000 it requires for some gamerscore points!

I know what you mean about the "player games" list too. Bloody Backgammon will always be on my list now, just because I wanted to see what it was like.

[MikeRox]

bah, I don't like this thread, it's made me want a 360 and none of the shops have em even tho my loan goes in on monday so I cud actually afford one :P

[Gareth C]

Raven Games have some in stock...don't know what the price is though.

[Rossco]

Im at around 2300ish now I think. Seen someone with 8000 or something crazy like that before. Every game was an EA game too!!!

It really does help motivate you to play through games more though to get all the extra and so stuff that you sometimes wouldnt bother with.

[PeteJ]

That'll make me 732nd in the world then.

Christ...

[Rossco]

Where you find that out...?

Hey, I'm catching you up dude .

I'm pretty happy that, 600 points for Kameo aside, mine have all be earnt rather than obtained.

Funny thing is though, I want to play King Kong but the cheapness of the Gamerscore points kind of puts me off in a way.

[NW2013]

I'll probably be last in the world when I get on live. I've got 35 points from having a bot match and completing Secret Agent mode on PDZ. Looks like I'll have to buy King Kong to up my score.

[Rossco]

875. Rock on!!

Thats quite cool isnt it, being able to see ranks.

[GODZOOKI]

Hmm...so Kong hands them out willy nilly as well?

I'll have to rent a copy of that then...wait, did I just think that or type it? ****!

: legs it :

I borrowed a copy of King kong from a mate and finnished it in next to no time. 1000 gamerpoints.

Ive seen people on my friends list with 7000+
