Monopoly Streets

I've been sitting on some Gamefly games waiting for the GSP Marathon to start up and decided to go ahead and start playing them.
I started with Monopoly Streets and I've picked up 675 Gamerscore. I have a couple of achievements to pick up and then there are about 300 online achievements. I've never done any boosting but I may need to with this game. It's an easy game so far. I'm not sure if I'll 1K it but I'll give it my best shot.
I played many hours of Dragon Age II up through this morning. I'm stuck at the end of Act 2 and I'm putting it on the shelf for a while. I've enjoyed the game and learned quite a bit playing it. I may go ahead and do a new play through at some point. It will be faster now that I've played it. With DLC, I've just finished 42%. Better than the few achievements I started with. I have several games that I'll be playing this year to raise my completion percentage. It would be nice to get it to 50% by year end.

Dragon Age II

I've spent several hours these past few days playing Dragon Age II. I'm enjoying this game. The achievements seem to be easy, but it is very time consuming.
Gamerscore competition is just a couple of days away. I can't wait. I'm sitting on several games that will come out when Gamerscore Popcast Marathon gets started. We aren't planning on winning, but I do want to do the best I can. My gamerscore should be back up in the 2K per week range again.

Gamerscore Popcast Marathon

I'm grinding out the last few achievements in Nicktoons MLB. I'm also having fun with Feeding Frenzy 2 and picked up a few more achievements today.
Pretty soon the Gamer Score Popcast Marathon will be starting. This should be a fun way to push towards my goal of 100K by the end of the year. I have several games lined up and I'm waiting for the completion to start.
I'm on Atlantic Alliance with Smeddum07 and Eliphelet77. We are from the U.S., Scotland and Wales. We are not out to win, just out to have some fun. I can't wait!

Gamerscore = 30, 700

New Milestone! 30,000

I actually hit this milestone yesterday. I needed to get my gamerscore to 30,000 so I can join the Gamerscore Popcast Marathon. I picked up some gamerscore in Uno for WP7 and then came in for the final points by getting some achievements in uDraw Instant Artist.

Now that I am at 30,000 well ahead of schedule, I'm going to add some achievements from games that I haven't completed. Before I started playing games for gamerscore, and before I cared about completion percentage, I used to rent a game just to see what the graphics looked like. I have several dozen games with just a couple of achievements. For the next week or two I'm going to try to pick up a few achievements on games I've played in the past. A daunting task but it should be fun.

Tonight I decided to get a couple more achievements in Afro Samurai. I picked up 45 gamerscore and then put it back on the shelf. I can't remember what difficulty level I have this on but I find it tough to make it through the story without dieing. I'll pick something else for tomorrow.

Gamerscore = 30,115

Nicktoons MLB

I was hoping to finish up Darkest of Days today but the last level is not going well for me. I have 500 gamerscore and need to finish it to unlock the majority of what's left. I got a bit frustrated and decided to start another game I just got from Gamefly, Nicktoons MLB. I'm enjoying this game so far. I need to play 30 plus games and I don't know if I'll ever get the full 1K.
The first achievements are awesome. You play through your first game and as soon as you finish, 10 or more achievements pop. Turn up the volume and enjoy!

On a side note, I have my eye one the Gamerscore Popcast Marathon. It starts in February. It looks like I may be able to hook up with a couple of Guys that are from the Achievement Hounds Community. That would be awesome! There are several games I was going to knock out this month that may wait for the competition to start.

Darkest of Days

It's been a slow coupel of days. I've only picked up 235 gamerscore this week. Darkest of Day will award gamerscore as I come closer to the finish. There were a couple of achievements that I can pop early in the game but most will come as I finish it up.
There are times I have liked this game, but because it is on rails, it can be frustrating if you get stuck in a place where you can't move. I spent some time tonight trying to find the correct path to take and I got stuck. I had to reload a previous save to get myself back on the right path.
Not a great game,or even a good game. I'll be glad when this one is completed.
