Let's say I want 1000 points...

Despite owning quite a few 360 games, I don't have 1000 points in any of them. The closest I've come is maybe Bioshock, in which I've got close to 900. So take a look at this list of games and tell me which game would be most realistic (and fun would help too) to get the magic 1000:
Also, a minimum of multiplayer achievements would be good, since those seem harder (especially for older games). Plus I'd prefer to do this mostly single player.
So there are my choices. These are not all my games, but they're the ones I'd be most interested in playing for a long time. Please don't suggest I just try to get the points I'm missing in Bioshock. It was a great game but I'd rather spend time on a game I've neglected for whatever reason.
Also don't just suggest I rent Avatar. :P

- Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts (leaning towards this one because I've owned it a while and barely touched it; though I see multiplayer achievements which would be tough)
- GRAW 2: Again, the multiplayer ones would make this hard.
- Lost Planet
- LEGO Star Wars: The Original Trilogy: I have put a fair amount of time into this (already beaten it) and looking at the remaining achievements seems like it would still take hours and hours...
- Red Faction: Guerrilla - Another strong contender, because I've not played it much.
- Burnout Paradise

Batman Arkham Asylum, if you can really grasp the challenges, is a candidate - but if you have trouble 3-starring the challenges, you'll be stuck at 900.
none of those games seem like achievement mills
your best shot would probably be burnout, although i believe there are multiplayer achievements for that one and you'd have to be fairly good to get them if i recall
edit: Fight Night 3 1000 pointer too..... damn what else did I forget
Steam
XBOX

Bioshock is a good one to polish off.
Easy ones to finish:
Borderlands (basically beat the game, hit max level, and do 2-3 simple tasks; only difficult one is the 'viral' achievement)
Fight Night Round 3 (basically fight until you play in all venues)
Avatar: The Last Airbender (takes about 2 minutes for 1000 points)
Lost: The Game (was pretty easy, took a few hours to zip through)
Burnout is not the best shot.

Having said that, I'd say that while it won't be the easiest to do, you'll probably have the most fun getting all the points for Burnout. I've 100%ed it myself, aside from one bugged gate that I can't find to smash. I've poured more time into that game than any other this generation.
@gamefacts - Totally and utterly true gaming facts on the regular!
You didn't even read the goddamn post, did you?
A friend of mine borrowed my copy of N&B and got everything except the multiplayer stuff. I don't remember him saying anything other than just needing a little patience.
Then again I spent half that game making flying wangs that shoot homing missiles, so I didn't get as many.
Let me tell you about Demon's Souls....
By Odin's Beard, no! I love EDF2017, I've played it for hours and hours. I have one achievement.
You have to beat every mission on every level, plus find ALL of the weapons. Serious grinding.
look up your game
see what achievements you still need
read on how to acquire the missing achievements
decide if they are worth your time
thats a good place to ask questions too.
I'm also just going to throw out there that even if you get all 1000 in a game, if it has DLC that has achievements, it wont show up in the completed games list.
Fallout 3 (just do all of the quests, if you're playing the game you're gonna wanna do them anyway)
Oblivion (same with Fallout 3)
Modern Warfare 2 (the Spec Ops is pretty difficult toward the end, but the rest is cake)
Bioshock (pick up all the diaries is the only challenge)
Condemned (find the birds and metal, but there are simple guides for it)
On the flip side, if you want the hardest 1000 gamerscore you'll ever see without doing multiplayer, may I recommend you set a month aside for Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball 2?
You get 100 points every time you clear a significant area of the game.
Ten significant areas.
Sorta worth it to see a couple of cool ideas that probably would have been better off (and since have been better off) in games that had a little more time in the oven (the fire gimmick was sort of cool, as well as the way you check your ammo), but on the whole I wouldn't recommend spending any more than I did on it. Plus you get to shoot dinosaurs.
Look at all those games that weren't on his list. Good job.
Also, suggesting Bethesda games or Borderlands is unwise. 1000 points with a 40+ hour investment at the very least.
Well i suggested Jumper simply because it can be had for $4.99 used at Blockbuster last time i checked.
In Bioshock I have 840 pts actually. Here's what I don't have:
So I'd need to basically start over and beat it on hard.
I do have both Fallout 3 and Borderlands and in Borderlands I've put in a decent amount of time; I'm at level 46. Maybe I should just work on that game for the 1000. Fallout 3 is a different story - despite playing it for 25 hours I just never really got into it. That's another post altogether.
Burnout can be really difficult unless you practice and make yourself decent.
One requires you win an eight player online race, another requires you get 6 of the top scores in an online session...that one is tough and took me a while since the longer you go high scoring the bigger chance someone will top one of yours.
It's worth it though, it's still one of my favorite games this gen.

Add me!
personally, my only 2 1000 points games are Fable 2 (pretty easy espicially since some acheivement can just be "witness" in coop games and DLC easily can make you get more points) and Borderlands (fun, easy game and with DLC you can get more than 1000 points)

If you use the sign out glitch it's a little easier, but jesus christ this. I will get this one day.
Understand this. The games on your list are not easy achievement farms. Look at the list of achievements and make the judgement call yourself. You already own these anyway, so wasting your time thinking about which one to start with is exactly that, wasting your time.
Crack a game, play it, work for your achievements. You probably won't get 1000/1000.
As a suggestion to what you can easily get 1000 on, I'll add NBA Street Homecourt. If you can find someone to play with online for the last achievement you'll have no problems. Just make 3 custom guys, one for each position and use that team online to destroy everyone in your path.
I've played sooo much of that and don't have very many achievements at all.
Part of it is that achievements won't rack up while you're playing local multiplayer, which is what I do 99% of the time. Most of the achievements also involve bizarre statistical anomalies over the course of ten to one hundred games.
