MAG

MAG, an acronym for Massive Action Game, is a first-person online multiplayer which supports up to 256 players in a single match. Players are separated into eight-player squads, with four in individual platoons. One player in each squad leads their troops against enemy players, in which ranking is based on how well each player performs in their assigned task and role. Aside the training mode, the game includes four separate modes, and two extra as downloadable content. On January 28, 2014, the servers were closed, thereby making this game no longer playable.

MAG received positive reviews, with an average score of 76%, praised for its massive multiplayer action and creative level-up system, though criticized by some for its bugs and lack of content.

The game was released in early 2010, and unfortunately the online servers were closed on January 28, 2014. This means not only is the Platinum Not Obtainable, but the entire game is unplayable, since it's an online-only title.

The only advice we can give now, unfortunately, is NOT to buy this game.

The servers were closed on January 28, 2014. Since MAG is only an online game, there's nothing you can do with it, except maybe read the instruction manual, and decorate your shelf with the clam-shell box.

As the servers were closed on January 28, 2014, the game is no longer playable, which naturally means the trophies and Platinum is Not Obtainable. The only reason we still keep these Trophy Guides and other links is for those who are curious to see what was previously involved in unlocking the trophies. At the time, it was a rather difficult Platinum to achieve.

Madden NFL 10

Madden NFL 10 is an American football game licensed by the National Football League, and the 21st installment in the Madden NFL series. New features include new animation allowing up to nine players to be involved in tackles, improvements to facilitate more realistic game speeds and player movements, new accessories under the creation features, signature QB throwing style and kicking style animations, and more.

Madden NFL 10 received positive reviews with an average score of 86%, praised for its graphics, presentation, online play, and overall fun.

Madden NFL 10 was first released in August 2009, and possesses 3 online trophies. Unfortunately, the online servers were closed in October 2011, which means those 3 online trophies - From Me To You, Hey Buddy, and Why Can't We Be Friends - can no longer be unlocked. Therefore, the Platinum for this game is now Not Obtainable.

Also, it should be noted that the AFL Legacy Pack has been delisted from the PSN Store, which means the 5 DLC trophies cannot be unlocked either, unless you've already purchased it.

The online servers to Madden NFL 10 were closed in October 2011, which means its three online trophies - and therefore, the Platinum - are Not Obtainable. Also, the AFL Legacy Pack has been removed from the PSN Store, which means that unless you've already purchased it, the five DLC trophies cannot be unlocked, either. However, the game still contains 21 offline trophies, so if you're interested in at least earning these, than read on.

The offline trophies that are unlockable don't actually require a roadmap, as most of them can be earned in Exhibition mode. Also, it should be noted that having two controllers is not necessary, but were certainly make these trophies much easier to unlock.

While a few trophies can be under the Rookie setting, most of them will require All Pro, which is the second hardest mode in the game. But fear not, as you can still adjust the settings in your favor. Put them at 5 MIN QTRS, and adjust the AI sliders to weaken them, as well as edit their attributes depending on what's required for the trophy you are after. Also, always set it to No Co-op, unless it's required for the trophy.

Once that's all set, than simply go through the list of offline trophies in one of the guides under our Links tab one-by-one, fulfilling their requirements. While some skills are required obviously, a lot of it will depend on your luck as well.

Guitar Hero Metallica Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Guitar Hero Metallica Trophy Guide. Difficulty: *****  A music rhythm game and part of the Guitar Hero series focusing on the Metallica music band. The Platinum is not only time consuming, but demands some serious skills.

Game Name Difficulty Trophies Developer Country Bronze Silver Gold Online DLC
Guitar Hero: Metallica ***** 51 Neversoft U.S. 37 12 1 8 0

Guitar Hero: Metallica

Guitar Hero: Metallica is a music rhythm game, and the second in the Guitar Hero series to focus on the career and songs of a specific band, followed by Guitar Hero: Aerosmith. The game includes 49 tracks, 28 of which are by Metallica, which the remaining 21 are by bands which Metallica states are their personal favorites.

The game follows a similar style to Guitar Hero World Tour, in which players simulate the playing of rock music using an instrument controller, as a lead guitar, bass guitar, drums, or vocals. Players succeed by correctly playing the notes which scroll across the screen. The game includes online multiplayer, both competitive and co-operative, as well as a new "Expert+" difficulty for drums which allows the use of a second drum pedal to match Lars Ulrich's drumming style.

Guitar Hero: Metallica received positive reviews, with an average score of 85%, praised for its polish and effort dedicated to the fans, being more challenging than previous titles, and described as the best Guitar Hero title in the series since Neversoft took over the franchise.

This whopping 5-star rating is for anyone new to the Guitar Hero (or even Rock Band) series. However, the difficulty for this Platinum depends entirely on your skills.

Aside from having to play through the career 4 times, each with a different instrument, and aside from trying to unlock the 8 online trophies on a game which few are playing multiplayer, there are trophies which require you to reach certain scores on certain songs with a particular instrument. These said trophies are the ones which bring this game's difficulty from a 3 to a 5-star.

The time required to obtain the platinum is difficult to calculate, as it depends entirely on your skills. On expert player may take around 200 hours, but expect to put in far more. Our music rhythm game expert at Trophy Hunter clocked in at 289 hours.

NOTE: Owning each of the instruments - guitar, drum set, mic - is required for the Platinum.

There are a few trophies you can unlock near the beginning, such as The More I See for completing the tutorials, and a few for customizing characters.

From this point on, you'll want to work through the Career with each of the four instruments. While any level of difficulty is available, it's highly recommended you continuously make your way from Easy, to Medium, to Hard, to finally Expert, to hone your skills and prepare for the more challenging trophies ahead. By the time you finish your four Career playthroughs, you should by now have a good chuck of the trophies.

Next, there are 8 online trophies to worry about. The main problem you'll experience here, is finding people to play. Given the age of the game, there are few people in multiplayer. We recommend; if you find someone, send them a friend invite. Otherwise, check out the boosting forums under our Links tab.

Also, there are a number of trophies related to having a band of four players. These can also be done online, or simply invite three friends over. Keep in mind though, your friend will need to possess fairly good skills to unlock these trophies, such as Ride The Lightning, and 2 X 4.

Last, comes the most difficult trophies of all, which are the reason behind the 5-star rating. These trophies require you to earn a certain score on particular songs, with specific instruments. For the most part, you will need to play them on Expert, and need to play them well, in order to achieve the necessary score. Creeping Death is considered the most difficult, though all of them will certainly give you a run for your money.

Good luck!

Wolfenstein Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Wolfenstein Trophy Guide. Difficulty: ***  A first-person shooter and a sequel to Return to Castle Wolfenstein, taking place during World War II. While the offline trophies aren’t overly difficult, the online are challenging and time consuming without boosting.

Wolfenstein *** 50 Raven Software U.S. 33 15 1 25 0

Wolfenstein

Wolfenstein is a first-person shooter, and a sequel to Return to Castle Wolfenstein, available on the PS2 and Xbox. The action takes place in the fictional town of Isendtadt during WWII, where players battle against not only Nazis, but supernatural creatures.

Nazis have been digging up crystals named Nachtsonne, which can be used to unleash an unspeakable power. Special agent B.J. Blazkowicz, after making a daring escape using a medallion he stole that was powered by a Nachstonne, heads to the fictional town of Isendstadt where the crystals are found, to stop the Nazi's diabolical plans.

Wolfenstein received fairly average reviews, with an average score of 72%, both praised and criticized as being a reasonably fun but typical shooter without anything particularly outstanding.

The offline trophies are fairly average, requiring a playthrough on its hardest difficulty mode, finding collectibles, and a few other miscellaneous trophies. However, the online will certainly take a big chunk out of your time. If you have a good group of two or three boosting partners, this rating could be brought down to a high 2-star.

Legitimately, expect over 100 hours of gameplay. With a boosting partner, this number could be brought down to around 40 hours or so.

It's up to you how many playthroughs you wish to do in order to work towards the Platinum, and it's certainly possible to do everything in one. You will need to play the game on its hardest difficulty setting, Uber Difficulty, as well as find all the collectibles in the form of Gold, Intel, and Tomes of Power, and get through the game with less than 3 deaths. On top of this, there are a few miscellaneous trophies to do. If you're great at multitasking, then by all means it's totally doable to complete everything in one run. If not, then you might want to divide up your playthroughs. Particularly, for example, completing the game with less than 3 deaths on an easier mode.

On the whole, Uber Difficulty isn't too hard, though you will find yourself in a few frustrating spots. Regarding the Single Quarter trophy for completing the game with less than 3 deaths, make sure that if you die, do NOT load from the last checkpoint, as this will register your death. Instead, quit to the main menu and reload your last save. Finally, be sure to check out the trophy guides and collectible guides in our Links page to help out with the remaining trophies. It is possible to replay previous missions to mop-up any trophies you're still missing, up until the Airfield level, which is the point of no return.

Once you've completed all the offline trophies, it's time to move onto the online multiplayer, where there are 25 trophies to unlock. Your ultimate goal will be to unlock the Das Big Man trophy for reaching Rank 50. There is a glitch you can exploit, however, so check out the Links page for that. Most of the other online trophies are either kill-related, winning multiplayer games on different matches, or related to the Veil ability. In general, unlocking all the online trophies will take a bit of time. However, if you manage to find a good crew of 3 or 4 boosting buddies, the time can be cut by about 75%. Check out the boosting forums under our Links tab if this is a path that interests you.

MLB 10 The Show Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

MLB 10 The Show Trophy Guide. Difficulty: n/o  A baseball simulation game and the fourth in the MLB: The Show series. Since the servers were shut down in March 2011, the online trophies – and therefore, the Platinum – are now Not Obtainable.

MLB 10: The Show

MLB 10: The Show is a baseball sports game, the fifth in the MLB: The Show series, and part of the Major League Baseball series exclusive to the PlayStation consoles. New features include a Home Run Derby, the ability to call pitches and play as the field general, a movie maker to create a single movie using up to ten recorded replays, five additional Minor League stadiums, and improvements to the online experience. The online servers were closed on March 21, 2011.

MLB 10: The Show received outstanding reviews, with an average score of 91%, praised for its fantastic visuals, smooth animations, and overall presentation.

The game was released on March 2, 2010. Almost exactly one year later, the online servers were closed. MLB 10: The Show contains 3 online trophies, which are now unlockable. Therefore, the Platinum for this game has become Not Obtainable.

The online servers were closed on March 21, 2011, which means the 3 online trophies are no longer unlockable, making the Platinum Not Obtainable. However, there are still 40 other trophies you can earn offline, so if you're interested, then read on.

There are a few missable trophies to watch out for. We recommend beginning as a catcher in RTTS mode, and focus on calling a pitchout on a steal attempt for the Timing Is Everything trophy, call a quality start for the Call It trophy, and throw out two runners attempting to steal a base for the Stolen Thunder trophy. Once these three trophies are out of the way, you can simulate the rest of the career. Next, you'll want to aim for the Make The Call...Again trophy. This one requires a bit of strategy and explaining, so check out the MLB 10 The Show trophy guide links under our Links tab. Finally, continue the career and work on unlocking Professional Trainer, RTTS Derby, Mr October, and the RTTS Back To Back trophies. Last, start a new RTTS as a pitcher, and work on unlocking the Sim Game and RTTS Road Warrior trophies.

With that done, if you like, you can go for the Around The World trophy by starting a season. To make things quicker, set each game for 1 inning, and simulate the first 82 games During this process, you can also unlock the Contender, Pennant Race, and Victory Is Mine trophies.

After all that, it's just a matter of mopping-up anything you're still missing. Be sure to check out the MLB 10 The Show trophy guide links under our Links tab for details on what you're missing and how to get it.

Unfortunately, with the servers closed, this is as far as we go.
