Amped 3
The last couple of achievements require you to finish everything, but you'll get a great deal of points just for playing through the short, easy story mode.
Burnout Revenge
There are a few easy points here and there for uploading replay clips and recommending them, but you'll have to work for most of your points.
Call of Duty 2
Except for points for finishing the first and last levels, every other achievement requires you to finish the levels on a harder difficulty setting. Time-consuming, but not impossible.
College Hoops 2K6
Mind-numbingly easy.
Condemned: Criminal Origins
This game is pretty short and easy, but many of the points are based on finding hidden secrets. Dig up a FAQ and go looking for dead birds. Also, after finishing the game, go back and reload your last save, beat the game again, and choose the other ending for extra points.
Dead or Alive 4
Set the rounds down to one to get the time attack points more easily. This one can be a grind, especially if you want to unlock all of the costumes.
FIFA 06: Road to FIFA World Cup
Get the "win on Perfect difficulty" points by setting it up to Perfect, setting a very short time limit, letting the computer score on you, and switching to the winning team just before time expires.
Fight Night Round 3
Set it to easy and dive into career mode. You'll get 750 points before any of the fighters pose a real challenge.
Full Auto
The rampage race mode is your key to getting the kills achievements and the wreck points achievements in a hurry.
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
This one has some real challenging points, but each single-player level gives you 25 points a piece, so there's some to be earned just from playing through.
Gun
Play through it on easy, which won't take you too long. Then bust out a FAQ if you want to find all the gold. Then use all that money to buy all the upgrades, and so on.
Kameo: Elements of Power
600 points for finishing the game, and it's pretty easy. Go for it.
Madden NFL 06
Among the easiest of the bunch.
NBA 2K6
You'll have to actually play the game, but this is the easiest thousand points on the whole system.
NBA Live 06
You can get 960 out of this game in a hurry using the method we described earlier, but that last 40 is for an online victory.
Need for Speed Most Wanted
All points are earned by beating the career mode, and most of the points you get along the way are pretty low. If you're willing to dedicate yourself to beating this one, it's not too tough, but it'll take time.
NHL 2K6
Pulling the goalie makes most of the game's five achievements pretty basic.
Perfect Dark Zero
PDZ makes the points a real chore. There are a few here and there to get via multiplayer, but you won't get them quickly.
Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie
It'll take a little more time than you'd probably like, but this game's stupid easy and the full thousand is granted for beating the game.
Project Gotham Racing 3
Great game, but only a few of the achievements are super-easy to get.
Quake 4
Great use of achievements in that it balances them across single and multiplayer modes, but they don't come easily.
Ridge Racer 6
Do a 360 spin for five points. The rest of the points are tough.
Rumble Roses Double X
Lots of "all costumes" achievements means you'll have to unlock a lot of stuff for these points.
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06
No fast and dirty points here, unless you're a good putter.
Tony Hawk's American Wasteland
If you're already familiar with the series, you can blaze through the story and classic modes fast. Once you've unlocked all the levels, load each one up in an Xbox Live lobby to unlock the online points for each one. The last hundred points require more work than they're worth.

thanks for the info.
The only one i didnt know about was NBA.. I got some of the achievements which were mentioned in the gamespot article but i couldnt get the 15 x 3 pointers for some reason or 50 points from 1 player.
Its weird.. I tried in SINGLE player mode, Season etc etc.
Still got nothing for it.
just thought id let anyone know who may be trying to get it themselves.

Hi guys,
Been playing a little of NBA live 06 and getting not too bad at it either.. ehhe
ANyway, for those of you looking for some really easy points please read on about simulation mode in NBA Live 06.. My god... Why even bother having points if they are going to do this.
SIMULATION MODE:
Nearly all points/achievements in this game can be unlocked very easily..
Heres how you do it:
1. When you start the game select down on your D-PAD to choose start a season.
2. When the next screen comes up you want to choose the HOUSTON ROCKETS and then click continue.. Leave all the settings alone on each screen so far too.
3. When the calendar comes up.. Click or press the LT (left trigger) and the calendar will go to the last month of the season which is APRIL 2006.
4. Now scroll down to the last day and press the 'A' (green) button on your xbox joypad..
5. Now select the option 'simulate all up to and including this day'
6. thats it.. Just make sure you keep clicking a and selecting a few options every now and then...
