House of the Dead: Overkill Extended Cut

The House of the Dead: Overkill Extended Cut is a first-person rail shooter originally released for the Nintendo Wii in 2009, and ported onto the PlayStation 3 as the Extended Cut in 2011 which includes two more levels. The game is the fifth in the House of the Dead series which began in the arcade and later on the Sega Saturn in 1998. Players move the aiming reticle and fire at approaching enemies. Guns can be purchased and upgraded from cash earned between levels. The game allows for up to 4 players on local co-op, is compatible with the Move controller, and includes 3D visuals.

Due to a series of disappearances in a small town in Louisiana, Agent G and Agent Washington are sent to investigate. However, they arrive to a deadly scene of blood-soaked mutant horror.

The original House of the Dead: Overkill on the Nintendo Wii received positive reviews with an average score of 80%, praised for its fast-paced action, grindhouse style violence, and humor.

The 3-star rating is for the challenge involved for some of the trophies, such as achieving S ranks, completing the game on Hardcore mode, and a few others that can be quite frustrating. A lot of trial and error is involved, as you will occasionally need to memorize where to aim and fire your weapon, and when to reload. The Platinum is certainly doable for an average gamer without enough patience, but don't expect a cakewalk with this one.

The Platinum can be earned in roughly 30-40 hours, though this is heavily skill dependent.

NOTE: The Move controller is required for the Yakuza trophy.

Since you'll need to complete Story mode in order to unlock the other modes, this is a good place to start. For the most part, just play and enjoy the game. You'll be unlocking a number of story-related trophies, as well as a few others naturally. Since there is a level-select available, and since you'll be needing a number of playthroughs, don't worry about missing anything. Also, all the collectibles are stackable.

Next, start your second playthrough, this time on Director's Cut. Here, the levels will be longer than those in Story mode. Completing Director's Cut will unlock the Lights, Camera, Headshot! trophy. This is also a chance to start working on the challenges, as well as continue purchasing more guns and upgrading them.

After that, it's time to play through the Director's Cut on Hardcore mode. The difference here, is that the mutants may only be killed with headshots. Completing this will unlock the Extreme Hardcore trophy.

By now you should be pretty familiar with the game and its levels, so it's time for your fourth playthrough, this time on Classic mode without using any continues. This is not an easy feat, but completing this will unlock the Do You Feel Lucky? trophy.

Lastly, it's time to mop-up those remaining trophies. Achieving an S-rank will, unfortunately, still be the hardest part of the game. Just remain patient and keep trying until you get it, even if it means memorizing every pixel in the game. Also, don't forget to play the Minigame mode for the I'll Try Anything Once trophy.

Good luck!

Lord of the Rings: Aragorn’s Quest

Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest is a third-person action adventure game based on Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. The game is divided into two sections: playing as Aragorn during the War of the Ring, and playing as Sam's son Frodo in the Shire. The game is also compatible with the PlayStation Move controller. Both Viggo Mortensen and Sean Austin lend their voice talents for their respective characters.

Taking place fifteen years following the events of the Lord of the Rings films, Aragorn, King of Gondor, is making his way to visit the Shire. Sam is now Mayor of the Shire, and while his son Frodo is working hard to prepare for Aragorn's arrival, Sam tells him the story of Aragorn's adventure during the War of the Ring.

Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest received lukewarm reviews with an average score of 60%, praised by some for being a fun gaming adventure, though criticized by others for its repetitive gameplay and for being a seemingly rushed port of the Wii version.

Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest is aimed at younger players, and therefore not particularly difficult. While there are a few challenges that may be a little frustrating at times, most of the gameplay time involves completing quests and finding collectibles. Nothing any average gamer can't handle.

Without experiencing any glitches, expect roughly 18 hours for the Platinum.

NOTE: A second controller is required for a few trophies.

Start by simply going through the game. During your playthrough, we recommend completing all the side-quests for each level. Be wary of The Key To The Shire trophy, as it's possible to miss some of the Shire side-quests if you don't return there between chapters and complete them. Completing all the side-quests will unlock the Meanderer trophy. Check out the Quest Guides under our Links tab to help you.

After that, it's time to find all those collectibles. This includes all the Fellowship tokens for The Fellowship trophy, all the lore items for the Expert In Lore trophy, and all the upgrades for the Accomplished trophy. Check out the Links tab for guides to help you with this.

Finally, it's time to mop-up anything you may still be missing. This most likely will include the Middle-Earth Annihilation trophy for defeating 2,500 enemies, to which we recommend grinding in the Black Gate chapter where there are plenty of enemies and unlimited arrows.
