I'm a bit less into achievements these days, but I'm still quite the completionist. I also have less time for gaming lately. On that note, what are the easiest Live Arcade games to S-Rank (meaning complete, getting the full 200 pts).
I'll start it off with the easiest for me so far to get the full 200:
Dash of Destruction (by far the easiest)
Galaga
Ms. Pacman
Pacman C.E.
Carcassone (best have a friend help with this one)
Uno
Zombia Apocalypse (easy, but time consuming)
Xbox 360

XBLA Easy S Ranks?
If you look on my list of S-Ranks you'll probably find a few.
- Golden Axe is easy. You can cheat by changing the settings.
- Bomberman Live isn't too bad.
- Soul Calibur isn't the easiest, but relatively easy if you are familiar with the franchise.
- Spyglass Board Games.
Y'know. Whatever. I would suggest wasting your money elsewhere and buy a real game.

Like a real retail game? Too long to get 1,000 pts. I have loads of arcade games, but I'm just interested in some easy ones.
Spyglass BG sounds good. Been jonesin for some chess lately.
" @TooWalrus: True. I've been playing Tooie lately and it's been tons of fun. "Yeah, somewhere up in my head was still the info needed to 100% those games. I played them SO much when I was 10 years old, I had them beaten then. I hope they make another Banjo game someday.
Easiest ones for me (S rank within a couple of hours...) are:
- Any of the Sonic Games
-Gunstar Heroes (probably deserves the prize for easiest XBLA game to 200. Basically, you'll have the full 200 upon completing the game, as the non-story related stuff is extremely easy and will probably be completed accidentally).
- Shadow Complex.
-Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
@hakunin said:" Shadow Complex is pretty easy although getting to Level 50 can be a bit time consuming. "
Just when I was feeling good about having S-Ranked Shadow Complex and Symphony of the Night (after a few years hunting for the last few percentage points of the map for Seeker. Note, however, that this was including a lapse where I didn't own a 360 and had to start afresh.)" Symphony of the Night isn't terribly hard to do. "
I found After Burner Climax easy S rank
" Battlefield 1943. "Easy yes, but damn that takes forever. I started hating that game once I hit the 100th match.
Dead Rising 2: Case Zero is supposed to be easy (I haven't played it yet, just bought it a bit ago)
My current XBLA S-Ranks are:
After Burner Climax (that last 5 is easy once you ulock the EX option to play the secret stages regardless)
Dash of Destruction (Yeah.)
UNO
UNO Rush is simple if you have 4 controllers.
Castle Crashers (takes a while, but its a fun game at that, use a guide for animal orbs)
Rocket Riot (kind of hard, but not too bad)
South Park LGTDP (Fun and easy. Play with 3-4 people for it to be much easier. Use some tips for MANBEARPIG, the giantbomb achievement page has some good tips)
And Lumines Live: if you are good at Lumines this is not a hard achievement. Most of them are rare on Giantbomb, but I can S-Rank this game (and have for a couple people) in under 2 hours. However, if you haven't played Lumines before, you are probably in for hours of getting better at the game before you can do half of the speed run missions.
Age of Booty is an easy 200 if you don't suck at hex based RTS'.
South Park Lets Go Tower Defence play can be done fairly fast solo, even easier with 1 or more other dudes
Shadow Complex is a great game, and the achievements aren't super though. They'll take a few hours thought, but you'll in no way bore yourself to death.
Dead Rising 2 Case Zero was very easy and you can do everything in 2 runs. I've heard of someone doing everything in 1 run but spending $100,000 in the shop is a pain for 1 run. Shadow Complex is a great game and not to hard to get the 200 Gamerscore. Dash of Destruction was silly but super easy.
I'm surprised no one has said Cloning Clyde. Not only is it a fantastic game (I totally want a sequel) but it's super easy to get all the achievements. Which is why I'm surprised that half the achievements are considered "uncommon" here on GiantBomb.
Afterburner Climax is VERY easy to S rank. After you play the game for a little while, you unlock a cheat mode where you can make the game far easier, and the settings don't affect achievements. Should take two or three hours, at most.
Toy Soldiers isn't terribly hard if you have a guide walking you through some of the trickier things to pull off. Plus it's an amazing game.
