Mate, having someone else play the game for you to get the achievements is almost counter to everything that gaming's about - no-one with half a brain should give a flying fruitloop about what your gamerscore is - I've got mates I game with who's level is 1-5, and others who are 11 and 12, and they're all great blokes and I wouldn't judge any of them 'better' than any others. I think trophies and gamerscores are great as 'diaries' of what people have played, and of memories from those games, but once you start paying people to play them they lose all meaning as either a 'how good a gamer are you' (and given the variable difficulty in these things, that's a pretty moot point anyways) or as a "diary of fun" (as if it's someone else's fun, it's not exactly your memories ).

I'd personally recommend taking a step back and thinking why you're gaming (and paying other people to do your gaming!) in the first place. If it's about some kind of self-esteem thing (ie, needing a certain sized gamerscore to feel good about yourself online), then I'd recommend doing other things to do this. If it's 'cos your mates pay you out if you've got a small gamerscore, your mates are tools and you should ditch 'em .

Of course, if you really enjoy paying other people to play games for you, then get into it - but it would qualify as relatively strange behaviour .

Well there is a game that me and another friend are playing is who can get the highest GS and I cant let him beat me this year.

So don't beat him by cheating! Point is, no one here is gonna boost your gamerscore for you, so either you just relax and play the game for fun like most of us, or get down to work on beating the game yourself.

lol - that'd be to find all the cheapest achievement games and play 'em - I hope you and your mate are adjusting this contest for your relative incomes, or it'd could be pretty rough on ya!

I'd also not worry about 100%ing any game - unlike the PS3, there's no 'bonus' for getting all the achievements - which means time/achievement wise it's better to get your 50%-odd achievements for one playthrough and moving on, rather than trying to get the more time-consuming achievements (for instance, in the time it takes to unlock all the weapons and planes in IL-2, you could easily play 5-10 other games, or even all of Fallout 3 and the DLC!)

And I'd also recommend hiring rather than buying - is it 1000 points per game? That'd have 30,000 points at about 60 games if you're looking for the most cost-effective time/achievement approach, and that's a _lot_ of money if you buy all of them!

On the by, personally, I reckon the best way to compete with a mate online, is to actually play him at something - you could set up a scoreboard with wins/losses for different games on it, could be a lot of fun .

Dude. Don't worry about GS. It says nothing of skill, only time.
