The Amazing (Achievements) Race

WORDS BY: Taylor Cocke and Corey Cohen
 
We can’t help it — we’re still addicted to Achievements. But that pesky real life keeps getting in the way of our abject whoring for Gamerscore. So, a challenge was issued: Surrounded by the mundane trappings of work, family, and everyday life, how much could one person really earn in, say, five days? Whippersnapper Taylor and seasoned pointmonger Corey both rose to the challenge, with an extra perk: Taylor would go first, setting a pace that Corey would know he had to beat for his run. Both editors kept diaries of their efforts — and the results surprised even themselves…
 
The Contest

Starting with a freshly created Gamertag, each editor has five workdays (including nighttime hours) to amass as much Gamerscore as possible. Taylor goes first, then Corey tries to beat him the following week. Calling in sick is forbidden. The participants can use any retail or Xbox Live Arcade game for gaining Achievements. Either editor can use Xbox.com to observe the other’s progress at any time.
