360Voice. I was turned on to this site by one of the guys on the GH Forums and at first I didn’t think much of it. Then I registered my Xbox live gamertag (well TootieCarparts did) and a few days later I had a personalized blog from my 360’s perspective. Weird huh? I thought so too but after a few days of reading the snarky remarks it made about my gaming habits it got to be quite addictive. I not only actively seek out the blog every day but compete in the gamerscore challenges the site also offers.
So you can not only get the cool daily blog updates and a weekly recap that details not only your gamer score and achievements but keeps track of what games you play the most. You can also view your friends’ blogs and gamertags (if they’ve registered). There’s also a nifty badge system where you earn different badges for accomplishing various in and out of game tasks. Oh and I almost forgot to mention the forums that are packed full of people talking about games. It’s pretty cool.
The best part though is the gamer score challenges that you can take part in. Since 360Voice keeps track of your gamertag in real time they are able to host challenges based on point increases to your gamer score over a set number of days between several registered gamers. I personally just participated in (and won by the way) a challenge against four other gamers the took place over the last seven days. The challenge kept track of all our scores and even posted a daily blog update with the days results. There is even a nifty graph showing each contestant’s score next to each other.
Sounds good right? Well here’s where it got kickass. I thought I was just competing for bragging rights but after a few days I realized that there was a real prize involved. I investigated and found out that depending on how many challenges you participate in you qualify for a number of reward tiers with prizes ranging from 20 dollar gift cards from BestBuy (that’s what I won) and Xbox live points to a Xbox 360 HD DVD Player. No shit.
It doesn’t cost anything to register for 360Voice and compete in the challenges.So I can’t think of a reason not to sign up today. Give it a try.
Happy Gaming
