Rent these games from the past 12 months and make your e-penis 10,000 points longer.
LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga
Challenge Factor: 5/5
How to Do It: Don't be fooled by our 5/5 challenge factor—this game boasts a slew of easy achievements that are unlocked by simply playing the game to conclusion. The thing is, you'll have to invest quite a bit of time replaying most of the levels with different characters. Maxim tip: Try out the equally easy
LEGO Indiana Jones.Bully: Scholarship Edition
Challenge Factor: 5/5
How to Do It:
You play the local delinquent dipshit at Bullworth Academy out to
create chaos for your own amusement. You'll be tasked with doling out
50 wedgies, egging 25 cars, and tripping 25 people with marbles. Go
through them all and you'll get 980 points... Then lose all e-coolness
when you unlock "Over the Rainbow" by getting kissed by 20 guys.
Scene It? Lights, Camera, Action
Challenge Factor: 4/5
How to Do It:
Unlike some of the other bore-athons on this list, you may actually
enjoy playing through this multiple-choice quiz game with a friend. If
you're a grade-A Xbox bastard face, you'll plug in a second controller
and intentionally misfire on questions in order to claim the various
multiplayer achievements as your own.
Madden NFL 09
Challenge Factor: 3/5
How to Do It: Go
no-holds-barred on your opponents by dropping the game's penalty
sliders to zero. This will allow you, for instance, to set your D-line
right next to your idiot opponent's quarterback. Once he takes the
snap, your players will make him a pigskin prison bitch and you 700
achievement points richer. Congratulations!
Lost: Via Domus
Challenge Factor: 2/5
How to Do It:
I'm not even going to pretend I know the show, but when it comes to
undeserved rewards, this game takes the cake farts. Crawl your way
through its seven episodes and you'll have unlocked most, if not all,
of the game's 1,000 points. Maxim tip: You're lost on an island...with
hot girls...and a camera... You know what to do.
Kung Fu Panda
Challenge Factor: 2/5
How to Do It:
This game was made for 5-year-olds, so if you can't finish it with all
of its achievements...you're a 5-year-old. You'll have to go through
this shit game twice—once on medium, once on hard—but just use your
Panda Roll attack on the level bosses and you'll be mint. Which reminds
us to pick up some panda rolls for lunch. Tasty!
Viva Piñata: Party Animals
Challenge Factor: 2/5
How to Do It: If you
don't know about this series,
you essentially make candy-filled papier-mâché animals boink each
other. That said, the hardest part of earning the full gamer score is
enduring six games against Xbox Live's 7-year-olds (both actual
7-year-olds and older gamers who scream as if their headset is chafing
their diaper line).
NCAA March Madness 08
Challenge Factor: 2/5
How to Do It: If you're looking to snag maximum points, get on Xbox Live soon before the full court press of
NBA Live 09 and
NBA 2K9—there are several easy online achievements you'll want to clear.
Then do the dirty deed of lowering the CPU's difficulty sliders for
shooting and defense to zero and play in exhibition games to get all of
the awards tied to player performance. (Really, creating an achievement
requiring that you score 100 points in a game is asking for it.)
NCAA Football 09
Challenge Factor: 1/5
How to Do It: Every time July rolls around, rest assured you'll find this college f-ball game in stores ready for easy achievement pickins.
Here's the quick and dirty way to snag 'em: Drop the game's difficulty
sliders to make the CPU dumber than a mule, then choose Army as your
opponent in every game. We support the troops. Their football team? Not
so much.
Avatar: The Last Airbender
Challenge Factor: 0/5
How to Do It:
This is by far the easiest award in the history of rewarding people for
doing things. Because all 1,000 gamer-score points are tied to hit
combos, simply load the game and keep pressing the B button for
approximately 90 seconds until all of the achievements unlock. Then sit
back as your friends message you with "cmon avatar. rly?"
