This is just a personal endeavor - feel free to join in - bragging rights only.
The goal is to take the 10 games with your lowest TA score and get them past game #11 - making game #11 the "short stack" or lowest TA value on your list.
From TrueAchievements, My Pages -: My Games -: Filter by Retail -: Sort by TA.
Here is my list:
1) Fallout 3 - 40
2) Green Lantern - 150
3) LEGO Batman - 231
4) Beowulf - 291
5) Spongebob - 346
6) Velvet Assassin - 443
7) Tomb Raider: Anniversary - 518
8) Kinect Adventures - 520
9) Battle for the Pacific - 532
10) EA Sports Active 2 - 673
I need to raise all of these games above 678 (Kinect Sports) to complete the challenge. I'll be starting with Spongebob so that I can ship it back to BoZack.
Updated List:
1) Fallout 3 - 87
2) Green Lantern - 150
3) LEGO Batman - 231
4) Velvet Assassin - 443
5) Tomb Raider: Anniversary - 518
6) Battle for the Pacific - 532
Feel free to post your list and join in :)

Are we excluding arcade games? I'll be happy to take part, but mine isn't gonna be that bad, I think.
1) Dragon Age: Origins - 39
2) Hunted: The Demon's Forge - 88
3) L.A. Noire - 127
4) Dungeon Siege III - 181
5) Infinite Undiscovery - 216
6) Condemned: Criminal Origins - 349
7) Star Ocean: The Last Hope - 444
8) NFL Tour - 497
9) Scene It? Box Office Smash - 518
10) WWE All-Stars - 539
I need to have them all above 571 (Dead Space 2). Probably gonna start with WWE/Scene It so I can take them back quickly. :P Star Ocean/Infinite Undiscovery will make me cry. :(

I would take part but luckily I don't have too much cleaning up to do as I was able to finish most games I started.
My top ten includes some of the easy games I have completed, with Avatar coming in at #7. |

I'll exclude arcade games for this as well:
Original (edited to include DLC points):
1) Beatles Rock Band: 6
2) Forza 2: 23
3) GRAW: 41
4) Rainbow Six Vegas: 49
5) Gears of War 2: 51
6) Viva Pinata: 63
7) Dragon Age: Origins: 69
8) Final Fantasy XIII: 83
9) Perfect Dark Zero: 105
10) Guitar Hero: World Tour: 164
Current:
1) Forza 2: 23
2) GRAW: 26
3) Rainbow Six Vegas: 49
4) Viva Pinata: 63
Need to get them past Two Worlds (206)
Completed for this challenge:
Beatles Rock Band (6-->303)
Guitar Hero: World Tour (164-->212)
Perfect Dark Zero (105-->261)
Gears of War 2 (51-->788)
Final Fantasy XIII (83-->2169)
Dragon Age: Origins (69-->214)
Aside from FF13, those are the games that I barely started and then decided to do something else instead. A good opportunity to go back to them, and shouldn't be too tough to do for any of them. |

Mine is more like a post-Mega clean up:
1) Monster Jam: Path of Destruction: 93
2) The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: 106
3) Samurai Warriors 2: Xtreme Legends: 123
4) Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection: 150
5) Kameo: Elements of Power: 170
6) WALL•E: 202
7) Dragon Age: Origins: 225
8) LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy: 248
9) Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2009: 273
10) Rock Band: 347
In the last week, I have just started SW2, Lego Star Wars II, and Oblivion, so that is why they are on the list rather than Beatles Rock Band, Guitar Hero World Tour, and Jumper. Its crazy with such low scores on these games that I still have the Jedi badge.
EDIT: Beatles Rock Band is at 364 for #11 |

None of my cleanup is related to the HERBIE, some of it is from the Buffet, and other are games I started a long time ago and never played, but let's see if this can get me to play them. My ten:
1) Smackdown vs Raw 2007 -- 5 TA
2) UEFA Champions League 2006-2007 -- 31 TA
3) Dante's Inferno -- 40 TA
4) Brutal Legend -- 51 TA
5) Ninja Gaiden II -- 62 TA
6) The Bourne Conspiracy -- 93 TA
7) NBA 2K9 -- 94 TA
8) Blitz: The League II -- 94 TA
9) TC's H.A.W.X -- 125 TA
10) Halo: Reach -- 127 TA
The good news is that I only have to get these past 11) Battlefield: Bad Company -- 128 TA
With some fun shifts in ratio, the last 2 *could* complete themselves.
I will probably try to clean up other stuff I have (EA server closures, games that need to go back to Gamestop this week) but I don't think anyone is winning this in the near future. |

I would try this out, but my top 10 are 7 TA and under. #11 is Risen with 10 TA, thanks to my bean dive. :)
Very nice concept though. |

1) The Godfather - 10
2) James Cameron's Avatar - 10
3) KR: American Idol Encore - 45 Thanks to LibrarianBeth
4) EndWar - 16
5) Forza 2 - 54 Thanks to Capn Doug x360a
6) Blue Dragon - 17
7) Soldier of Fortune: Payback - 20
8) Devil May Cry 4 - 21
9) Batman: Arkham Asylum GotY (PC) - 21
10) Lost Planet: Extreme Conditions - 234 Thanks to toddycst
11) Way of the Samurai 3 - 37
Sadly, this may be impossible for me. I no longer own Lost Planet. It is awful. I refuse to play a game if it isn't fun. Maybe if I get the other 9 done, I may look to acquire Lost Planet again. (Probably not)
*EDIT* I found Lost Planet on my shelf! I forgot I had picked this up for like $5 - Guess I will have to look for a few MP achievements. *EDIT* |

I offer this to anyone taking part in this challenge. If you have any Rock Band game on your list and need an extra person, just send me a message, I will gladly help with the multiplayer stuff.
I offer because I don't have 10 incomplete arcade games and here is my retail list:
1 - Dead Rising 2 - 96 (100% or 1969)
2 - NBA Jam - 891 (now 2110)
3 - Halo 3 - 1186 (100% or 2266)
4 - Too Human - 1336 (100% or 1611)
5 - Lego Rock Band - 1456
6 - Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock - 1470 (100% or 1808)
7 - Mass Effect 2 - 1471 (100% or 1647)
8 - Guitar Hero 2 - 1535 (Now 1747)
9 - Guitar Hero 3 - 1569 (Now 1787)
10 - Stranglhold - 1586 (100% or 2505)
Number 11 is DDRU2 at 1624.
I really can't participate, but I can help those that are.
Edit: Who says that completionists can't pull this off... Halfway there. |

I have the other nine. Let's see if I actually do any of them. (May be an reason for me to boost some of them, too) |

1. Kinect Adventures 1219
2. Dead Rising 435
3. Red Dead Redemption 540
4. Star Trek: Legacy 369
5. NBA LIVE 08 1460 FC'd
6. Fallout 3 2003 FC'd
7. Infinite Undiscovery 683
8. Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard 1336 FC'd
9. Monster Jam: Path of Destruction 1311 FC'd
10. Viva Piñata 642
My current bar is Terminator Salvation @ 763. This is going to be painful. Especially in the Dead Rising and Star Trek Legacy department :/
Monster Jam and NBA 08 will be the first two to drop off this list as they're on loan.
**Eat Lead upgraded and off.**
**Fallout 3 upgraded and off.**
**Monster Jam upgraded and off.**
**NBA Live 08 upgraded and off.**
**Kinect Adventures upgraded and off.**
New Benchmark, since I cleared Terminator Salvation, is Dance Central, @ 763. Easy enough. |

Unfortunately, my #11 (incomplete) game is at a point where some of the games under it won't even reach it with completion, so I don't think I can really make this work. I'll post my list though, since I'll be cleaning up some of this in the near future anyway;
1) Viva Pinata: Trouble In Paradise 250
2) Rogue Warrior (Complete)
3) Vampire Rain 721
4) Cars 2 (Complete)
5) Monster Jam 881
6) Memories Off: Yubikiri no Kioku (Complete)
7) Band Hero (Complete)
8) Madden NFL 11 (Complete)
9) Rock Band 3 (Complete)
10) Project Gotham Racing 4 1,785
---------------------------------
11) Guitar Hero II 1,824 |

| Yeah, this sort of challenge doesn't really work well for people in the 90%+ bracket...and only works for people in the 75%-90% range if they've got a LOT of games on their card. |
