For the Achievement "Women of the Night" ...

The Xbox 360 has spawned a whole sub-class of gamer: "The Achievement Whore."

And I mean "sub-class" in the fullest sense.

Every Xbox 360 profile has a "Gamerscore". The Gamerscore goes up when certain achievements are reached in all of the different games. For example, play through Peter Jackson's King Kong The Official Game of the Movie, and you get 1,000 points. If you can handle finishing this simian-on-rails title.

There are a bunch of Xbox 360 owners out there that are keen on upping their Gamerscore, and there are resources out there for helping you find easy points to bump up your score. I'm listing some of those achievement-related Websites or articles for you below.

Oh, and I don't care if people want to spend time upping their Gamescore playing crap games. What does annoy me is playing a game online and people being obnoxious about "how great their score is" -- and their score is made up of easy-point sports games. So they have high Gamerscores, but they didn't earn the scores. It's kind of like bragging about kicking a doberman puppy or scoring with a comatose paraplegic. Whatever.

Here's the list of sites/articles:
