Hitman 2: Silent Assassin HD

Hitman 2: Silent Assassin HD is a third-person stealth game originally released on sixth-generation consoles in 2002, and revamped in HD quality with trophy support for the PlayStation 3 in 2013, and is a sequel to Hitman: Codename 47 released for the PC in 2000. The gameplay is mission-based, in which players are given a set of objectives, often including assassinating several people.

Following the events of the prequel, Agent 47 has faked his death and retired from the assassin business, working as a gardner at a church in Sicily. However, when his mentor Father Vittorio is kidnapped and left with a ransom note, Agent 47 is forced to return to his post as an ICA assassin in order to save his friend.

Hitman 2: Silent Assassin in 2002 received positive reviews, with an average score of 85%, praised for its overall fun and excitement, but criticized for poor AI intelligence.

The 3-star difficulty is for a combination of needing to get used to the controls, requiring at least three full playthroughs, and the skills needed for clearing the game on professional difficulty, which can be quite challenging - particularly if this is your first time playing a Hitman title, or are not using any guides for help.

Expect to spend anywhere between 20-40 hours working on the Platinum, depending on your skills.

Before selecting which difficulty to play on, there are a few trophies to consider. You will need to play on professional mode to unlock the 5 Professional Silent Assassins trophy, as well as the Professional Mode Complete trophy. Also, you will need three playthroughs in order to collect all the weapons for the weapon-related trophies, as well as a few other miscellaneous trophies you have missed during your first (or second) playthrough. Changing the difficulty will reset all your progress, so it's up to you if you prefer to perform your three playthroughs on Normal, then do an extra playthrough on Professional, or simply do all three playthroughs on Professional. It's a matter of time consumption versus frustration.

Regardless which difficulty you select, your main objective should be finding all the weapons. There are a total of 31 firearms, as well as 8 melee weapons, 8 hand guns, 3 machine guns, 2 assault rifles, 3 shotguns, 6 sniper rifles, and some heavy weapons. In order for a weapon to be considered 'found,' you must not only find it, but also keep it with you until the end of the mission. This is one of the reasons for requiring three playthroughs, as you can only carry 2 handed weapons at a time. It's worth following one of the guides under our Links tab to help you with this.

Also, there are a number of kill-related trophies to worry about, which you should also be working on towards your three playthroughs. It should be worth nothing that skinning animals will NOT count towards your trophy - these must be done to humans.

HISTORY Great Battles Medieval Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

HISTORY Great Battles Medieval Trophy Guide. Difficulty: ***  A strategy game and part of the HISTORY series, set during the Hundred Years War. Even on easy mode, some of the chapters can be tough – as well as finding players for the online trophies.

HISTORY: Great Battles Medieval

HISTORY: Great Battles Medieval is a strategy game set during the Hundred Years War which raged between England and France from 1337 to 1453. Players select either the English or French campaign, and control large armies ranging from knights and infantry to bowmen, upgrading their units and battling against the opposite side. Online multiplayer is also included.

HISTORY: Great Battles Medieval received lukewarm reviews, with an average score of 65%, praised for its historical accuracy and overall fun and challenge, but criticized for its controls and lack of presentation.

Arguably one of the more challenging of strategy titles, some of the chapters - particularly on the French campaign - can be very difficult, even on Easy mode. Two playthroughs are required, one for each campaign. Also, there are 3 online trophies, and while they aren't particularly hard, finding people online to play with, is.

If you have a boosting partner, this rating could be reduced to a high 2-star. Expect anywhere between 20-30 hours, depending on your strategy-based skills.

You'll first want to get through the Tutorial, which will not only teach you the ropes of the game, but also net you the Let The Battle Begin trophy.

After that, you can select a campaign and start your first playthrough. Since there's no difficulty-related trophy, you can select Easy if you wish.

It doesn't matter which you start with first, but it should be noted that while the English campaign is longer than the French, it is also far easier. For that reason, we recommend beginning with the English campaign.

The English campaign has 16 chapters, while the French has 10. For the most part, your two playthroughs will be simply trying to complete all the chapters. You'll be unlocking a few trophies along the way - particularly during your first playthrough - such as the number of troop kills, automatically. There are a few other miscellaneous trophies which you can either work towards now, or wait and mop-up after you've completed your playthrough on each campaign. If you're having difficulty, remember that the mini-battles are a chance to upgrade your strength and earn more money.

Once you've unlocked all the offline trophies, there are still 3 online trophies to get: Best 2 Of 3, Best 3 Of 5, and Tactician. These aren't too difficult to get, depending on your skills versus the online player, but finding an online player is the real challenge. If you can't find anyone, we recommend using one of the forums under our Links tab to locate a boosting partner.

DJ Hero Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

DJ Hero Trophy Guide. Difficulty: *****  A music rhythm game and spin-off of the Guitar Hero series, using a turntable to mix songs. The Platinum requires some serious skills, as getting five stars on all songs on Expert is no cakewalk.

DJ Hero

DJ Hero is a music video game and spin-off of the Guitar Hero series, which uses a turntable. Players earn points by accenting beats, adjusting crossfades between songs, and scratching the turntable in time to marks indicated on the screen. The game includes 93 mixes of one or two songs, in a variety of genres from Grunge to Techno.

DJ Hero received generally high reviews, with an average score of 89% for its originality, well-designed turntable peripheral, and strong soundtrack.

Many games don't get harder than this. Having a boosting partner for the 5 online trophies could bring this rating down to 4-stars, but the offline trophies will still give you trouble - particularly Turntable Perfection, in which you need a five-star score on all songs on expert difficulty.

In addition to the overall skills and time required, you will also need to purchase TWO DJ Hero turntables, a Guitar Hero or Rock Band guitar, and a microphone. Not a cheap game, by any means.

The first thing you'll want to do is start the Tutorial, which will not only explain how the game is played, but also earn you the Graduation trophy.

From then on, simply make your way through the setlists. Your ultimate goal is to earn five stars on all the songs in Expert Difficulty, but unless you're a natural, you'll probably want to start on Easy or Normal and work your way up as your skills improve. You will unlock several other miscellaneous trophies along the way. Check out the DJ Hero trophy guide links under our Links tab for further details.

There are also 5 online trophies to worry about, including winning 10 games. Considering the age of this game, and the fact that there are a number of sequels available, finding challengers online can be difficult. Check out the boosting forums under our Links tab if you don't have any friends to play with.

HAWX 2 Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Tom Clancy’s HAWX 2 Trophy Guide. Difficulty: ***  An arcade flight game where players engage in airspace combat above real-world locations. The game is significantly shorter and easier than its prequel, though the online trophies can be challenging without a boosting partner.

Game Name Difficulty Trophies Developer Country Bronze Silver Gold Online DLC
Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X 2 *** 33 Ubisoft Romania Romania 15 12 5 13 0

Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X 2

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. 2 is an arcade flight game, and a sequel to the 2009 H.A.W.X. Players fly and fight against aircraft in the airspace above real world locations, in either a first-person cockpit or third-person view, using a range of weapons such as guns and flares, as well as the newly added stand-off missiles, precision missiles, and precision bombs. The game also includes online co-op functionality for the campaign, and deathmatch multiplayer.

Following the events of the previous game, Colonel Crenshaw has been rescued from the insurgents in the Middle East. He stoon teams up with Russian agent Drachev to take care of the insurgents, in a series of missions that will soon take the war to Russian lands.

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. 2 received mixed reviews with an average score of 68%, praised for some of the improvements from the previous title, but criticized by some for its repetitive missions and story.

The 3-star difficulty is mainly due to the 13 online trophies which can be quite difficulty to collect legitimately. However, if you have a boosting partner, they become extremely easy - bringing the difficulty rating for the Platinum down to a 2-star. The remaining offline trophies are not particularly hard, and the game itself is shorter than its prequel. Overall, the platinum for H.A.W.X. 2 is arguably easier than that on the first installment.

Expect around 30 hours for the platinum, and far more if you're attempting the online trophies legitimately.

You'll probably want to begin things by playing through the Campaign. If you wish to make things easier, you can select to play on Recruit difficulty. It should also be noted that there are two missable trophies: No Restrictions and Peripheral Vision, which cannot be done from the Mission Select. An easy way to get these is at the beginning of Mission 2, named Training Day. Switch the Assistance Off after take-off and fly as fast as possible until both trophies unlock.

With the Campaign finished and a good knowledge of the game and controls, it's time to move onto unlocking those 13 online trophies. Your ultimate goal is to reach level 50 for the Maxed trophy, though there are a number of others to work on in the meantime. Be sure to check out the HAWX 2 trophy guide links under our Links tab for their requirements, as well as the boosting forums if you're having trouble finding people to play with, or are looking to boost.

Finally, use the Mission Select to mop-up anything you're still missing.

Happy flying!

HAWX Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Tom Clancy’s HAWX Trophy Guide. Difficulty: ***  An arcade flight game where players engage in airspace combat above real-world locations. Completing the campaign solo can be tough, as well as unlocking the online trophies without a boosting partner.

Game Name Difficulty Trophies Developer Country Bronze Silver Gold Online DLC
Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X *** 51 Ubisoft Romania Romania 40 8 2 28 0

Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X is an arcade flight game, in which players fly and fight against aircraft in the airspace above real world locations. Players can select either a first-person cockpit or third-person view, and use a range of weapons such as guns, Joint Strike Missiles, and flares. The game also includes online co-op functionality for the campaign, and deathmatch multiplayer.

Set in the near future where government-run military has been replaced by private military companies, David Crenshaw, a U.S. Air Force pilot in the elite unit named High Altitude Warfare Xperimental squadron, flies his last mission before the H.A.W.X program is deactivated. Crenshaw finds a new occupation as a pilot for the Artemis Global Security private corporation.

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X received relatively positive reviews, with an average score of 75%, praised for its realistic satellite mapping and overall fun and excitement, but criticized for its lack in multiplayer variety.

This is in fact, a high 3-star difficulty rating, as completing the campaign solo can be challenging, and unlocking the 28 online trophies will require some serious skills, if done legitimately. However, with a few boosting partners, the difficulty could be brought down to a low 3-star, though will still require much grinding and even luck.

Expect roughly 35-40 hours if done with boosting partners, and far longer if you're on your own.

The first thing you'll want to do is play through the campaign, while getting used to the controls and honing your skills. There are difficulty-related trophies which are stackable, and all modes are available from the start. So if you're in a rush for that platinum, you can begin the campaign on Elite difficulty. If this proves too challenging at first, then try Normal or Hard first, then a second playthrough on Elite.

Also, if you have any friends you can play together in co-op, then we highly recommend taking that course of action, as the campaign is much easier with friends than on your own.

Once you've gone through the campaign at least once, it's time to head into the online multiplayer. Here is where you'll be spending the majority of your time, as these 28 online trophies are both time consuming, require some serious skills, and luck. If you can find some boosting partners, then the difficulty of these trophies will be far easier, though still require some perfect co-ordination and luck - particularly for the Sitting Ducks trophy. If you're interested in finding some boosting partners, check out the forums under our Links tab.

Finally, after you've unlocked the online trophies, it's time to head back into the single player and mop-up any last missing trophies.
