Embarrassed by the Tiny amount of Achievement Points you have? These games will help you double your Gamerscore in a mere weekend or two.





1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Ubisoft)
The current undisputed king of easy Achievement Points. Insert this disc into your 360, and the damn thing starts coughing up points faster than you cough up singles at Flashdancers.
Time required: About four hours
Brace yourself for: Turtles shouting "booyah!" again and again (and again).
Challenge factor: 1/5



2. Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie (Ubisoft)
The former champ of easy-pickings Achievement Points has been demoted one ranking by the cushy TMNT—but by only the slimmest of margins.
Time required: Six hours
Brace yourself for: Those skivvy-soiling confrontations with the game's V-Rex.
Challenge factor: 2/5



3. GUN (Activision)
One of the most underrated games of all time—why aren't more video games set in the Old West, for Christ's sake? GUN features a bathtub scene with a hooker, an expert safe-cracker named Soapy, and some of the softest Achievement Points this side of Dodge City.
Time required: Around 10 hours
Brace yourself for: The game's frustrating try-and-die boss fights.
Challenge factor: 4/5



4. Fuzion Frenzy 2 (Microsoft)
This game is known as a "party game," which means you're supposed to invite a bunch of your friends over and talk shit as you play through a host of minigames. We tried this with a group of our friends, but they weren't enjoying themselves. So they threw a blanket over the smallest person at the party and beat him mercilessly. Thankfully, the disc's 14 Achievements are even less challenging than filling out an MLB All-Star ballot.
Time required: Two to three hours
Brace yourself for: The game's cheese-ball announcer.
Challenge factor: 2/5



5. Madden NFL 06 (EA Sports)
You want 400 of the easiest points you're ever going to earn? Madden 06 will give them up only if you complete 30 years in the game's Franchise mode. Sound daunting? It's not. Just sim your way through those 30 years, you daffy bastard.
Time required: Start the simming at dusk, and the points will be yours by dawn.
Brace yourself for: Having to look at cover boy Donnie McNabb, whose '06 season ended prematurely with a hernia. Long live the Madden curse!
Challenge factor:1/5

6. Rayman Raving Rabbids (Ubisoft)
Warning: Like Fuzion Frenzy 2, this is yet another collection of minigames. Only this one was originally designed for the Wii, but was ported over the Xbox 360 anyway. The minigames really suck without the Wiimote, but man up and fight your way through the 360 version anyway, and you'll find a thousand easy-as–Tara Reid Achievement Points added onto your Gamerscore.
Time required: Around three or four hours
Brace yourself for: Trying to use the 360's Vision Camera to play the game is an act of futility.
Challenge factor: 2/5



7. Condemned: Criminal Origins (Sega)
Achievement Points are generally easier to earn on the 360's early launch titles. Case in point: The semiobscure survival horror gem Condemned. Download an FAQ off the Net and find the hidden birds in all 10 chapters of the game for a massive influx of pointage.
Time required: Around eight hours
Brace yourself for: Beating crackheads to death with a steel pipe. You should have listened to Nancy "Just Say No" Reagan, you sweet fool!
Challenge factor: 4/5



8. UNO (Xbox Live Arcade)
Unlike most of the card games we enjoy playing, this one does not involve anyone taking off your clothes. No matter. UNO still offers up 200 of the easiest points you'll ever earn.
Time required: Around two hours
Brace yourself for: Suffering an UNO beat down online courtesy of SaltLakeGranny07.
Challenge factor: 2/5



9. NBA 2K6 (2K Sports)
This is last year's pro-baller offering from 2K, so you'll need to hunt for it in your store's cheapie bin. Trust us, it's worth the effort. Getting 20 rebounds in a game earns you a solid 200 points. Maxim Pro Hint: Using Shaq to grab those rebounds makes this already easy Achievement even easier.
Time required: About an hour
Brace yourself for: Some of the most hideous, low-resolution cheerleaders ever seen in a sports game. Seriously, these girls look like they should be cheering for SUNY Binghamton, not the Lakers.
Challenge factor: 3/5



10. College Hoops 2K6 (2K Sports)
Yes, this is another sports game from 2K. And yes, the Achievement Points are easy to grab here, too. Apparently, no one was minding the candy store at 2K last year when they were cooking up these 360 Achievements. Scoring 40 points in a game with a single player earns you a nifty 250 points.
Time required: About an hour
Brace yourself for: Greg Gumbel's terrible lip-synching. Seriously, a Jackie Chan movie has more convincing dubbing than this.
Challenge factor: 3/5
