Created in December 2005, coded by January 15th, and finally revealed to the public January 27th, 2006, Achieve360points.com is a website dedicated to game achievements on the Xbox 360. For those of you that absolutely require a date, we consider Jan 15th our "birthdate," since that is the date that the website was 100% functional and went online. Our initial purpose was to list each achievement for every Xbox 360 game and give the reader detailed information on how to attain these achievements by providing information on secret achievements, walkthroughs, tips and strategies, and glitches or errors that prevent achievements from being attained. However, we quickly realized we could better serve the community if we expanded to cover far more information than just achievement data. Achievements are still our main priority, but honestly, why would someone go to a site just for achievements? We understand that concept and have grown substantially.

We first started on a shared host, which we outgrew within 3 weeks of being online. From there, we ventured onto our first dedicated server. However, due to our growth it only managed to maintain us until December 2006. We made the move to a more powerful server in the middle of December, which we currently reside on. We host over 8,000 unique achievement images that are quite small, with a collective memory footprint of around 12 MB. Even with our image's tiny memory size, we still consume over 14 gigabytes of bandwidth a day! We currently serve out around 215,000 - 230,000 pages to 30,000+ unique users daily. Our biggest month so far was July 2007, where we served out over 6,000,000 pages to 250,000 unique people!

We also offer several other features besides achievements, including, but not limited to:

Interviews with Gamers and Developers - We discuss gaming information with great people
Achievement, Walkthrough and Strategy Guides - For all those hard-to-earn achievements
Reviews on 360 titles - We offer specialized reviews on games, focusing on achievements
Upcoming 360 Releases - A complete list of all the 360 games you can soon enjoy
Xbox Live Marketplace Map - A listing of every single live item currently available
Comprehensive Forum with 8,000+ Members - Enjoy achievement tips from your peers

Any questions, comments or other related material should be sent to feedback@achieve360points.com.

 

 

What exactly is an achievement? Microsoft defines an achievement as "A game-defined goal that is stored and displayed in your gamer profile. Achievements can be as simple, complex, or off-the-wall as a game wants."

Basically, achievements are exactly that; an achievement or accomplished goal within a game. You earn achievements by successfully completing specific objectives within a game. For all your hardwork, you receive an achievement which can then be shown to the world, proving that are a true gamer. Can you lose an achievement if you fail to meet the achievement's criteria again or simply start playing poorly? The long and short answer to that is no. Once you have earned an achievement, it is yours to keep.

Gamerscore is another term you need to understand. Microsoft defines gamerscore as "a cumulative score of all achievements that allows you to quickly gauge and compare the accomplishments and experience of other gamers."

In short, it is the total of all your achievement points that you have earned throughout your achievement career. We hope this clears up some of the questions many people e-mail us about regarding the achievement system!
