Tom Clancy’s EndWar

Tom Clancy's EndWar is a real-time tactics game in which players control one Unit with the controller, and another by ordering voice commands through a headset. Units include riflemen, engineers, tanks, helicopter gunships, transports, artillery, and command vehicles, each with a strength ans weakness against other units. The three playable factions include European Federation, Russian Federation, and the United States. Players can select between four mission types, as well as online multiplayer.

After a nuclear terrorist attack in Saudi Arabia that destroyed the oil supplies in the Middle East, the world has fallen into an energy crisis. This resulted in several countries forced to merge under joint federations, eventually creating international hostility.

Tom Clancy's EndWar received lukewarm reviews, with an average score of 72%, both praised and criticized for its voice command mechanic, criticized for its plain single player campaign, but praised for its multiplayer online.

The game is very difficult and extremely time-consuming, requiring at least 300-400 hours of gameplay, including the online trophies, if done legitimately. However, if you manage to find three other boosting partners, it's possible to unlock the multiplayer trophies quicker, bringing the time down to over 100 hours, and therefore the difficulty rating to 4-stars.

Also taking into consideration, however, is the fact that you need two copies of the game in order to unlock the Platinum. Yes, that's right. The Dog Of War trophy is glitched on the disc version, which means you will need the digital copy. And the Always Attack trophy is glitched on the digital copy, but doable on the disc version.

Finally, you will also need a headset for the Platinum.

Since you'll obviously want to get the hang of the game first, we recommend starting with the Voice Command Trainer, which not only teaches you how to play the game and which voice commands to use, but also net you the Communication Officer trophy.

Hardcore is available from the start, and the difficulty-related trophies are stackable. However, if you want to make things easier on yourself, we recommend playing through on Normal first, then a second playthrough on Hardcore. It may be more time consuming, but will save you much frustration in the end. Though of course, the choice is yours.

There are two main sections to the single-player: Prelude to War, which is a prologue campaign, and World War III, which is the main campaign. Both of these will eventually need to be completed on Hardcore. In addition, you'll need to complete World War II on Hardcore with each of the three factions. One tip we recommend, is saving after each game, and reload if you lose a campaign.

Finally, play twenty single-player skirmishes for the Training Simulator trophy. Since you don't need to win for the trophy, you can order your unit to Evacuate immediately after the game begins.

With all that out of the way, it's time to move onto the online. Here is where you'll be putting in the hours. Many of the trophies are quite difficult to obtain legitimately, such as winning three missions in a row for Always Attack (which requires the disc version) as well as Dog Of War (which requires the digital version) and several others, not to mention the difficulty in finding people online to play with who aren't already highly skilled in the game. If you plan to boost these trophies, check out the forums under our Links tab.

With all that completed, simply mop-up any offline trophies you may still be missing, then celebrate in earning one of the more difficult Platinums out there.

NCIS: The Game

NCIS: The Game, also known as NCIS: Based On The TV Series, is a point-and-click video game based on the American police procedural TV series, in which players operate a cursor to guide and give instructions to the character to uncover clues in crime scenes, and play mini-games to analyse the evidence in order to solve the mystery. The game includes four "episodes."

NCIS: The Game received negative reviews, with an average score of 37%, criticized for its shortness, over-easy gameplay, poor voice acting, and mediocre graphics.

A quick and easy Platinum, comparable to Hannah Montana: The Movie, only less embarrassing on your trophy list. All the trophies are story-related, and therefore unmissable. If you're following a walkthrough or guide, you can easily unlock the platinum in around 4 hours. Slightly more if you're figuring things out on your own.

No roadmap is necessary for this game. There are no missable trophies since every one is story-related. Simply start the game, and play through each of the four episodes, and you'll have yourself a new Platinum by the end.

If you're in a rush, you can simply follow one of the NCIS The Game trophy guide links under our Links tab. Though the game is easy enough that they're not necessary.

Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs Trophy Guide

Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs Trophy Guide. Difficulty: *   A third-person adventure platformer, based on the animated film of the same name. An easy game that only required a few hours to unlock the Platinum.

Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs

Based on the film of the same name, which in turn is based on the children's book by Judi Barrett and Ron Barrett, the game is a third-person adventure platformer.

After Flint Lockwood's new invention to cause food to rain from the sky goes berserk, he must stop his creation before the town becomes buried under vast amounts of pizza, hamburgers and spaghetti. Armed with several different gadgets and inventions, the player must battle mutated food to reach the goal.

Though few reviews are available, Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs scored an average 65% rating, criticized for its repetitive and overall bland appeal.

Like most games based on animated films, Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs is an easy platinum which should take only a few hours to complete. It may, in fact, be arguably one of the easiest Platinums in the entire PlayStation 3 trophy library!

Nearly half of the trophies are story-based, while the others are simple challenges - if even called that. If you're looking for an easy game to up your trophy score, this one is for you.

Simply start up the game and play from beginning to end. You may want to sneak a peak at the trophies, and decide when and where to obtain certain "challenges." However, after completing the game, there's a chapter select at your disposal to mop up anything you missed.

As you play, keep an eye out for the Hydronic Foodpods. There are a total of 15 in the game - one in each of the first fifteen levels to collect the Dishin' Out! trophy. Most are easy to spot, while a few on the ice-cream levels require an upgraded heat-gun, which means you'll need to return later in the game.

As stated before, there's a level select in the game. Once you've gone through from start to finish, simply mop-up anything you're missing. The entire process, depending on your skill and luck, should only take about 5 hours.
