Well Im in a very important Oldspice challenge right now and need some games to play to get achievements out that are fun and yet can get easy to medium achievments in. Please list a couple of games I could do to get some achievements in. Also being how high my Gamerscore is its hard to find games I can play.

Use the stickied Quick 1000s thread... it breaks them down by time/difficulty. It is a great thread.

What Shady said.
I'm not up there at such a high number but for now I'm trying to pick out decent games with moderate difficult achievements, like Blacksite. I still enjoy it.
Also, what some geniuses on the site have done - rent Avatar, get 1000, come back five minutes later and complain of a scratched disk and trade it in.

if you are in "a very important oldspice challenge", i would say avatar is a must. it's $8 for 1000 points—how is that a bad thing? other than that, you have played too many games to expect someone to look at your played list and recommend one from the list for you. just take the list and find some good ones—preferrably games from the first couple lists if you want to win your important challenge.

Ya personally I busted it out last challenge. Still lost miserably of course !
Honestly though, you won't have to suffer through it like, I don't know, Phantasy Star Universe. It's so quick you barely get the taste of the horrible game it is before you're done. It's actually decent, I lie. I'd never play it though for anything besides GS.

This is what you do...If you are renting it from an online site, which I do, you get the mail when the carrier is dropping off the mail. You ask him to wait 5 minutes or come back in 5 minutes. You open the disc drive, plop the game in, play it, and BOOM. You just succeeded with a life achievement, my friend.
But if you go instore, just return it and say it was freezing or it wasn't a satisfying game (trust me, it works if you put up a hassle). :)

Y avatar is something u can get 1000gs in so fast, i got all 1000 when my 360 had RRoD(somehow it worked twice for like 30 sec), and it pushed me up to my goal of 1000 before 2008. But you could try call of duty 2. if you're good at those kind of games,you can get all 1000gs in one playthrough

drop by your local Gamestop/Eb Games and buy a USED game. As soon as you are done with it, return it and get a full refund. Gamestop/Eb Games have a 7 day return policy for used games, so that means a free rental :D

Ya ive herd bout that thing about buying a used game of a game that you own, but its broken, and returning the broken one for a full refund(basically getting your game fixed for free), but Ive never had the guts to do it. It's not really fair to the store.

I would do it; I'm sorry. :(
I just feel that these companies are so rich, what's the big woop. I mean, it's wrong, but I am a consumer, and we give them all that money. I'll do something like that maybe once and a while, not all the time.

I brought The Outfit from eBay and it was cracked also i had this problem with Madden 06 but The Outfit was the best one, what i did was i went to Gamestation and brought The Outfit for £15 (it was £10 on Ebay) and the next day put the cracked one in the case and returned it with the reciept and said it was cracked, so they said they had no more Outfits and they would clean it for me, I didnt see how this would help so i chose another game, and got Superman for free, i thought of this myself and works like a charm.
The way i figure it is, they have more money then me and over charge anyway so they deserve it, its not wrong because they are doing it and no questions asked, if they refused and I made them do it, it would be wrong, but there chosing to do it.
I personally think this is a great plan and i think i may have got The Outfit in a 2 for £20 with Crackdown, so they didnt lose much.

How do you work out that you got the outfit for free??
You paid for one online... £10
You paid for one instore... £15
so far you spend £25...
you take the broken one to gamestation and swap it over for superman...
so now
£25 for Superman and Outfit...
Its cost you £2-50 more to get the outfit if you think about it..
