Medal of Honor

Medal of Honor is a first-person shooter, the thirteenth installment in the Medal of Honor series, being the first in a new reboot series, and is loosely based on Operation Anaconda in Afghanistan. The game features both a single player campaign, as well as online multiplayer which supports up to 24 players.

Set in 2001 at the beginning of the Afghanistan invasion, Tier 1 operatives of a Navy SEAL squad, call sign Neptune, are first sent to meet with an informant who has information on the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, leading the squad in a series of hostage rescues, undercover operations, and raiding enemy hideouts.

Medal of Honor received fairly positive reviews, with an average score of 75%, praised for its multiplayer and voice acting, though criticized for technical issues and limited differentiation from other popular FPS titles.

Like most first-person shooters, skills are essential in unlocking the Platinum. The offline trophies aren't too bad as far as FPS games go, though they do require a playthrough on Hard difficulty, as well as surviving a time trial challenge. However, there are 20 online trophies to unlock, one of which, Multiplayer: Fire Controller, requires you to reach a score chain of 600 points, which is very difficult to do. Boosting is possible, though will require a large group and a lot of co-ordination.

Overall, expect anywhere between 30-50 hours, depending on your FPS skills, and luck in the multiplayer.

Hard difficulty is available from the start, so if you're in a rush for that Platinum, we recommend starting your single-player campaign on that, since the difficulty-related trophies are stackable. However, if you don't feel confident in your skills and are fine with an extra playthrough, then you can try one of the easier levels first to get a feel for the game and its environment. We should note, however, that Hard difficulty on Medal of Honor isn't as bad as many other FPS titles.

Once you've cleared the Hard difficulty campaign, you can move onto the Tier 1 Challenge. This is a time trial in which you'll need to complete missions within the set time. This can be frustrating at times, particularly considering there are no checkpoints and dying means starting over. Check out the guides under our Links tab if you're having trouble. Completing the Tier 1 Challenge will net you the Conspicious Gallantry trophy.

Next, it's time to head into online multiplayer. there are four game types, and you will need to play for two hours in each, to unlock their corresponding trophy. The most difficulty trophy will be the Multiplayer: Fire Controller, where you need to use each of the seven offensive support actions, which you get by racking up your score chain. The highest is Level 7, Cruise Missile, which requires 600 points. It's possible to boost this, though you'll need to find a good group, large group of organized players.

If you've managed to do all that, then congratulations. The hard part is over. Now, simply use the mission select to mop-up any of the remaining offline trophies you still might be missing.

Marvel vs Capcom 3 Fate of Two Worlds Trophy Guide

Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds

Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds is an arcade-style fighting game, and a crossover with Capcom's Street Fighter and Marvel superhero characters. The game is the fifth installment in the Marvel vs Capcom series, and the first to use three-dimensional characters rather than sprites. Players select teams of three characters to battle in tag team gameplay, with the ability to call on off-screen characters to perform single moves in an "assist." The controls have been simplified from its predecessor, using a three-button control scheme rather than four.

Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds received positive reviews with an average score of 85%, praised for its selection of characters, gameplay, and the game's new simplified combat mechanics.

Compared to other fighting games, Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds is certainly easier and less time consuming than Street Fighter IV, but more challenging than the Tekken titles. On top of the skills required for unlocking the offline trophies, and the long grind, there are 12 online trophies which, done legitimately, brings this difficulty score to a high 3-star. With a boosting partner, this could be a low 3-star difficulty, as the offline still adds quite a challenge and some time.

Expect roughly 30 hours of game time for the Platinum for experienced players with boosting partners, and far more for those without.

Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds doesn't require much of a roadmap, as you can work on the trophies in any order. The only thing to keep in mind is that you'll need to rack up PP in order to unlock all the characters, which are necessary to earn some of the trophies.

Also, it should be noted that most of the trophies, unless stated otherwise, can be earned on Very Easy mode.

If you're looking for a place to start playing and get used to the game, you can head into Challenge mode. Here, you can get used to the characters and their moves.

But if you prefer to just jump into the action, you can start working through Arcade mode. You'll need to complete Arcade mode with every character for the Waiting For The Trade trophy. Along the way, you will be earning PP and unlocking a number of other trophies naturally.

Whenever you feel your skills are adequate enough, you can head into online, where another 12 trophies await to being unlocked. Some of these are very challenging, depending on your skills. If you're looking for a boosting partner to make these easier, check out the forums under our Links tab.

EA Sports Active 2 Trophy Guide

EA Sports Active 2 Trophy Guide. Difficulty: n/o  An exorcise game which utilizes sensors strapped to various parts of the player’s body. Due to the online support being shut down in April 2012, the game’s single online trophy – and therefore, the Platinum – has become Not Obtainable.

EA Sports Active 2

EA Sports Active 2 is an exorcise video game which makes uses of sensors strapped to various parts of the player's body which track movements. Players select their exorcise program, and can perform a variety of over 75 exorcise routines, while following the on-screen trainer. Workouts can be customized based on results of a survey and set goals.

The game also includes online features which allow the player to track their progress as well as compare achievements with other users. However, on April 13th 2012, EA shut down their online support.

EA Sports Active 2 received fairly positive reviews, with an average score of 78% for its lasting appeal and ability to give you a good workout.

This game would have received a 3-star difficulty rating, which involved consistently exorcising for several weeks. The majority of the trophies are easy to collect over time.

However, there is one online trophy - Making Friends - which involves signing in to the EA Network and joining a group. Unfortunately, on April 13th 2012, EA discontinued their online support, which means the Making Friends trophy is Not Obtainable - as well as the Platinum.

As we mentioned earlier, this platinum is Not Obtainable since EA has shut down their online servers, causing the Making Friends trophy no longer acquirable. However, if you still wish to collect the remaining trophies, here are a few tips.

You'll want to start by going through the two programs: 9 Week Program, and Cardio Kick Start Program, as there are trophies related to completing each of them. Along the way, however, you will unlock many others in a natural manner, for time spent exorcising, to completing a set number of specific exorcises, to the number of calories burned.

Once those two programs are completed, the rest is a matter of mopping-up. Check out the EA Sports Active 2 trophy guide links under our Links tab for specific details to whichever trophy you're missing. Also, the Perfect Attendance trophy requires you not to miss a day which has scheduled workouts. If this is difficult due to your personal schedule, simply adjust the date on your PS3 before starting up the game.

Let’s Dance with Mel B Trophy Guide

Let’s Dance with Mel B Trophy Guide. Difficulty: ***  A competitive dance game which utilizes the PlayStation Move controller and hosted by Melanie Brown. Getting A+ scores, which are requires for the Platinum, can be challenging with the poor accuracy detection.

Let’s Dance with Mel B

Let's Dance with Mel B is a competitive dance game which utilizes the PlayStation Move controller. Possessing a number of popular tracks that range from 1980's to current, up to 8 players can compete in a dance off, with Mel B demonstrating the required dance moves. The game includes solo, competitive, and co-op dancing, as well as different modes of difficulty.

Overall, Let's Dance with Mel B received low scores from the few online magazines which reviews the game, criticized for the lack of tutorials, variety in game modes, and poor accuracy detection.

The difficulty for the Platinum lies not so much in the game itself, but the accuracy of having your dance moves detected. This can be a problem when several trophies require you to receive an A+ rating on the songs. But with enough practice, luck with the camera, and patience, the Platinum can be unlocked.

Expect roughly 30 hours of gameplay if you're having good luck with the accuracy detection, and more if you're not.

NOTE: You will need 2 Move controllers for the Platinum.

This game doesn't require much of a roadmap, as you'll basically want to dance through each of the tracks, working towards achieving an A+ rating on each. We recommend simply going through song after song, until you've completed all the tracks and unlocked the Let's Dance trophy, with several others along the way. After that, head back into the songs you couldn't achieve an A+ rating, and work on those until you do.

At some point, you'll need to invite a friend over to help you with the co-op and competitive trophies. Here is where you'll need two Move controllers. Luckily, since the game only supports two players at a time, that's all you'll need to complete the eight player dance party game for the Pieces of 8 trophy.

For the Dance The Night Away trophy, you can easily adjust the clock on your PS3 to a time between midnight and 6am.

Good luck!

Knights Contract

Knights Contract is a third-person hack-and-slash action adventure in a dark fantasy setting. Characters are loosely based on those in the classic Faust German legend.

Taking place during Europe's Middle Ages, Heinrich Hofmann is a witch-executioner who has been cursed with immortality. along with Gretchen, a reincarnated witch, the two must fight off a horde of monsters that have been unleashed by Dr. Faust.

Knights Contract received lukewarm reviews, with an average score of 64%, praised for its premise and story, but criticized for several technicalities, such as the quick-time events and camera angles.

The game is not overly time consuming, but will require some serious skills. At least three full playthroughs are required, each on a higher difficulty mode, as well as earning an S-Rank in each episode, and finding collectibles. Completing the game on its hardest difficulty setting, as well as some of the QTE events and getting certain S-Ranks, is what pushes this Platinum's difficulty rating up to a 3-star.

The Platinum could take roughly 30 hours of gameplay, through this heavily depends on your skills.

Unless you're not confident in your gaming skills, there's no reason to play the game on Page (easy) mode in regards to working towards the Platinum. We recommend beginning your playthrough on Squire (medium) difficulty, which is the easiest mode that you can work on earning S-ranks.

During your playthrough on Squire, you'll want to find the collectibles along the way, so check out one of the guides under our Links tab. Also, you can work towards getting S-ranks in each episode. If you fail to do so, fear not. There is an Episode Select after beating the game. Simply go back and try again, until you've unlock the Spirit Cannon, which in turn will unlock The Witch's Ultimate Weapon trophy.

Completing the game on Squire will also unlock the Hexen Knight (hard) mode. So, your next step is to go through and beat the game again, this time on Hexen.

Finally, after beating the game on Hexen, you'll unlock Witchslayer (hardest) mode. Hopefully by now, you should be fully upgraded and very familiar with the game, enough that performing your playthrough on Witchslayer shouldn't be too difficult.

Lastly, if there are any trophies you still need to mop-up, you can use the Episode Select to do so, until you've got a shiny new Platinum in your collection.
