    I find Game Room to be very interesting and so I downloaded, mainly because it's free.  But you get an achievement right away and now there's no turning back, now I have another game with a full 1000 points (which it will take lot of time and possibly money to get a nice score) counting towards my average points per game score.
    Anyway Game Room it's good fun, so all its forgiven.

    Can you get 1k in Game Room without spending any Microsoft Points at all?

    I think you can get at least 75 points without having to pay for anything, so it's definitely a trap.

    My profile hasn't been updated in months and i have about 4000 more points now, but my average was always fucked..... I borrowed games from friends, and played a few minutes and got like 1 or 2 achievements before realizing that the game is not worth my time. I wish MS would allow you to remove games with GS from your list forever deleting those pesky little points.

    That's cool, average is the most meaningless thing when it comes to achievements. Unless you think achievements overall are meaningless(fuck you).
     
    Rare % and overall score is where it's at.

    Game Room should be avoided if average gamerscore per game is important to you but don't want to buy any games.

    I'll take it one step further: video games should be avoided if average gamerscore per game is important to you. God damn, you guys.

    True, but it wont be that much of a problem once they start adding more and more games that i might be interested in playing.  
    i don't mind paying money for old games that are fun, even for 240 msp.

    I don't like buying games I already own from XBLA. MS should have given us content we already own for free.

    Fuck average, it's all about plain getting points. No achievement is unwelcome... unless it's like hacked or whatever, or the Fallout 3 PC thing. That's about as far as I'll go.

    None of these achievements are hard to get, they're just time consuming.

    I just hate having games on my profile that I dont have many achievements and I dont intend on playing. ie. Game Room. You get a 5GS for just starting the game. So now i've got this 5GS gameroom 'stain' on my profile, same with 1v100 that I don't see advertised on my dashboard anymore...

    Damn, life is so tough, isn't it? You should go out onto the street and smash your 360 in protest. Please.

    Oh man, incredibly tempting. Since I have MS points I want to spend as well.
