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
