    Supposably Avatar: The Last Airbender — The Burning Earth, is the easiest game ever to get 1000 gamer points in.

    With this game you can get all 5 acheivements and get your 1000 points in the opening fight just by doing ranged attacks on the first enemies. This is suggesting that you can get 1000 acheivement points in a minute or so, which would makes it the easiest game ever to get achievements in wouldn't it?

    I am in no way an achievement whore, i just find it interesting seeing as though Ive finished Guitar Hero 3 on Easy, Medium AND Hard and only gotten about 200 gamer points. But games like this make it so easy... There is a massive contrast.

    I recently finished Too Human and received 670 points for a first play through, CSI - Hard Evidence (i got this for free) got me 1000 points in about 7-8 hours, which is my only full point game.

    What do you guys think about the difference in skill/time required to get the achievement points? Are there any other games out there that are as easy as this game to get achievement points in?

    None as easy as Avatar because it literally doesn't care enough to give itself more than 5 Achievements. All other games, even if easy will still have at least 15.

    All I have to say to this is yes.

    Honestly I'm too tired to type up a full response. But yes, these are the easiest points available.

    It's just like some games are harder than others.  Some people think all gamesthey should have all have to have relativly the same difficulty of achievments which I think is stupid.  It should stay up to the developer how hard it is to get there achievments.  If they want easy achievments as a selling point for their crappy game, then I say they should be able to.

    That's true. And we all know most of us aren't above considering renting those games, don't act like you haven't thought about it!

    Yeah I think everyone would. A lot of people act like they're above doing that though. They know deep down that they're not. Nobody can resist the allure of Avatar.

    "but it wasn't me who played it, I let my 4 year old nephew play my xbox, and he brought avatar over.  He signed into my gamertag and I didn't know."

    Yeah without a doubt, it made the game special I guess, and was one hell of a clever marketing move on the part of the developer, I bet it sold (got rented) shit loads because of the ridiculous points.

    Some games aren't worth playing, even for easy achievements.

    If you watch that intro cutscene of SC 4 you get 5 points.
    Also if you bought the collectors edition you get 60 points for already having the two swords unlocked.

    If you want another easy achievement game get Fight Night Round 3.
