The Old Spice Experience Challenge Strategy Guide

We asked the community for their top strategies in competing in the Old Spice Experience Challenges. Check out this fabulous set of pointers... whether you are a n00b or 7337, there is something in here for everyone:

1. Play with people you know!
   By playing with friends or people you at least know, the amount of hostile trash talk, cheating, dishonorable play, etc. will greatly decrease, leading to a more enjoyable challenge! - Fshguy
2. Only score as much as you need.
   Gamerscore challenges are like auctions... you only need enough points to keep the lead. Don't over score, as the points you spend in one challenge can't be used for future challenges. - ChangeAgent
3. Only use easy games when you have to.
   Save the easy games for last. Only use it when there is no other way out. - Donny NL
4. Plan your strategy in advance!
   Games wisely! For example play halo 3 until the final level and stop! When you really need it finish the fight and get a easy 375.....yep already used it up. - Davem3 TF
5. The lower gamerscore the higher the advantage.
   If you have a lower gamerscore you are more likely to have more games at your disposal - joining a challenge with higher gamerscore owners could be a great benefit to you. - squidpunch
6. Know your competition!
   Be wary of challenges with many members with a number of the "easy" achievements not yet gained. It is likely one or more will throw them into the mix. You must decide if you are willing to also use your easy achievements, or save it for another challenge in which nobody can counter your attack. - squidpunch
7. Leverage the power of the rentals!
   Have a Blockbuster Game Pass! Have a Gamefly Membership! - NaiLSONS
8. Leverage the power of the almighty dollar! (if you are loaded)
   Buy all arcade games and get every single easy achievement in each! - Nuffzx
9. Revisit old games to get points you forgot.
   Some of those old achievements which you might of found impossible back then may have become really easy as your "leet" skillz grow, or maybe they got patched and are no longer bugged? - T360UK SMILEY
10. Don't bother with online achievements.
    Online achievements are often much more time consuming to get. Aim for single player ones where you can control the timetable. - WolfWood37
11. Know the easy genres.
    Sports and Movie games = easy points.- ymiris
    Family games as a rule are usually easy... - Davem3 TF
12. Be true to yourself as a gamer. Integrity above all!
    Play games you love. Find or create challenges that are in your range. If you're a casual gamer, find a challenge for casual gamers and try not to break the rules set down by the administrator of the challenge. - housemdfan

I want to disagree with number 1. The amount of hostile trash talk does not decrease with people you know... I think it increases exponentially!!! lol
