TrueAchievements is an Xbox achievement-tracking website that uses a novel method of assessment, TrueAchievement score, rather than a simple Gamerscore. The website features a free scanning service that pulls achievement data and other information from Xbox.com automatically for the user several times a day.
As of January 6th, 2011, TrueAchievements has over 102,000 registered users.[3]
TrueAchievement score
TrueAchievement score is obtained by taking the base Gamerscore value of an achievement and multiplying it by its rarity, resulting in a more accurate representation of skill required to obtain it.[4] Because the TrueAchievement score is dependent on the number of people who currently have an achievement, it can change over time.[5]
The TrueAchievement score is displayed on user's pages, along with other pertinent information such as their Gamerscore, the number of achievements they have unlocked, their most recent achievements and played games, and other customizable information.
Features
TrueAchievements.com boasts a wide selection of features, including:
