Day 1 of Achievement Leapfrog:
(10 achievements needed)
14 Achievements
250 Gamerscore

It may be time for another leapfrog challenge, hopefully this new structure is win but won't induce shingles. HERE is some history on the leapfrog challenge.

The rules for achievement leapfrog part tres:
The starting point is 10 achievements and everyday that passes the minimum amout of achievements I need per day goes up 1.

For example. Day 1: 10 Day 2: 11 Day 3: 12 and so on. I can go over, but not under. If I do go under I have 7 get out of jail free cards to keep it alive. (again, I can't be getting shingles during this run) So it's pretty much the same as the last except with a few more get out of jail free cards.

The tricky part, I'm going on vacation in a few days.

Hopefully I can keep it going up until 600,000, which is the plan.

Completed Game #472: Majin and The Forsaken Kingdom

Perhaps a sleeper hit JR, it's a good game, almost great, if you can look past the glaring flaws such as bad voice acting and some backtracking. It reminded me of a longer version of ICO, just not quite on that level. Give it a look.

Completed Game #470: Rango

The artwork and character design reminds me of Oddworld: Strangers Wrath, which is a good thing. Rango may be easy and geared towards kids, but it's fun for the short time it will last for.

Tip: Farm for stars on the first level boss, don't kill the rolling creature but keep killing its babies with your X charge attack for easy and fast stars.

Completed Game #469: Full House Poker

Finally something that replaces Uno as the go to arcade party game. It also makes good use of those avatar characters.

Completed Game #467: GM - Centipede

It looks better than the version found in your Game Room on the Xbox 360. You don't need to fear the controls because the virtual trackball gets the job done quite nicely. Everything you do on the phone verison carries over to the Xbox 360 Game Room side and vice versa. I'm looking forward to all of the upcoming GR titles on Windows Phone 7, it adds a neat dynamic to the Game Room experience and works seamlessly.

Completed Game #466: Rio

Strictly a mini game compilation that is competent enough to keep anyone engaged.  The cute animals and colorful graphics are bound to draw the kiddies in. If I had a child, I wouldn't mind playing something like this with he/she, it would keep me entertained as well.

Achievement difficulty: 1 out of 10

Time to complete the full 1,000 Gamerscore points: At least 16 hours. 6 hours of actually play but the marathon achievement (run 28 miles) takes 10+ hours more.

Completed Game #465: Mayhem 3D

I can't really comment on the 3D side of this game but if you like smashing cars up, you will find some enjoyment with Mayhem. It's not full retail price for a good reason, it's lacking depth. The only thing not lacking in depth is the car selection, there are oddly tons of vehicles at your disposal.
