XBOX: 10 Best Games To Boost Your Gamerscore

7. My Horse And Me 2 ''Next best thing to owning a real horse'' it claims on the box. Ive never owned a horse but I imagine it's not as tedious as this. The story revolves around you playing the role of Emma, the game does give you the option to rename her but its a redundant feature as everyone continues to call her Emma in the cut scenes. Anyhow, as Emma, you arrive on your uncle's farm to find it under treat from going bankrupt. The only way you can save the farm is by training your horse and competing in eight tournaments to become world champion of horsey stuff. You also have a sub-plot of a romance with the farm stable boy to add a bit of sexual tension to the already riveting plot. When you are training your horse, the game will test your QTE skills as you make your horse do Dressage, Jumping and Cross Country. You then repeat the same things in each tournament. If that's not exciting enough, you also have to look after your horse by cleaning out the stable, washing and grooming it. These sections consist of mundane mini-games that wont give you any trouble except maybe bore you to death. The game has 19 achievements and unfortunately, you will have to play the game twice, once on ''Amateur'' and then ''Professional'' as the difficulty achievements are not stacked. But in about 7 hours, you will have all 1000 Gamerpoints. Ebay is your best option for getting hold of the game but due to achievement hunters being desperate to get their hands on it, be prepared to pay over £40 for it and to loose your manhood as you play. Annoying Achievement: ''Grooming Expert (60G)'' which only unlocks once you have groomed your horse 15 times by playing some of the most soul destroying mini games ever conceived by a games developer.
