Assassin’s Creed II PS4

Assassin's Creed II is a third-person, action adventure game, blending science-fiction with historical drama. It continues the story of Desmond Miles in the year 2012, who is being forced by Abstergo Industries to reveal his genetic memories. The game was originally released on the PlayStation 3 in 2009, and ported onto the PlayStation 4 in November 2016 as part of The Ezio Collection.

Continuing immediately after the first game, Desmond breaks out of Abstergo Industries through the help of Lucy Stillman, a mole in the company, and taken to a safehouse where he is requested to use their own Animus to uncover the memories of another assassin, Ezio Auditore de Firenze. Similar to the first game, the story switches between Ezio and Desmond.

Unlike the first Assassin's Creed, the second builds on fighting techniques and challenges, engrossing the player further into the game - rather than feeding everything in the beginning, then simply repeating the same challenges over and over. The sequel has been hailed as a far superior to its original, and received average scores of 91% by most online gaming magazines.

Not an overtly time-consuming platinum. Many trophies are story based, a few are simple challenges, while others - such as Sweeper - require a bit more effort. Although many you may even stumble upon by accident.

The In Memory of Petruccio trophy requires you to hunt down and collect all 100 feathers around town. This can take a bit of time, but as long as you follow the guides in our Links page, you shouldn't have to spend too much time.

Overall, a very average 2-star rated Platinum.

NOTE: The trophies for the PS4 version are separate from those on the PS3.

The platinum should be obtainable in one playthrough. What's nice about this game, is that once you've completed the story (and collected a good majority of the trophies along the way) you can still continue running around, collecting things and buying upgrades and paintings.

So, start by playing through the game without much worry. The only missable trophy is Fly Swatter, in which you need to kick a guard over the edge while using the flying machine in Sequence 8. This is fairly easy to do, and if you don't get it, simply crash yourself and try again.

Once you've completed the story, simply mop up any trophies you missed.

Editorial Team

Shaun White Skateboarding Trophy Guide. Difficulty: ***  A skateboarding game and the third installment in the Shaun White series. Fairly average in terms of time and skills required for the Platinum, though the 12 online trophies are difficult to achieve without boosting.

Shaun White Skateboarding

Shaun White Skateboarding is a skateboarding game, and the third in the Shaun White series. Players can perform over 80 different tricks while competing in challenges and narrative missions across the city. The game includes two-player split-screen, as well as online multiplayer with up to eight players.

Shaun White Skateboarding received lukewarm reviews with an average score of 68%, praised for its soundtrack, though criticized for being a mediocre skateboarding game in terms of graphics and gameplay.

Shaun White Skateboarding includes 12 online trophies. Given the age of the game, as well as the fact that the online servers seem to be region-locked, finding people to play with - and then being able to unlock the trophies - is quite difficult to do legitimately, hence the 3-star difficulty. However, if you have a boosting partner, all 12 online trophies can be attained within a few hours. With a boosting partner, the difficulty for the platinum could be brought down to a 2-star, as the offline trophies are not particularly difficult.

With a boosting partner, expect roughly 25-30 hours, and far more if you're attempting the online trophies legitimately.

Shaun White Skateboarding doesn't require much of a roadmap, as there are no missable trophies. However, if you're in need of some direction, we recommend beginning with the Story. For the most part, just worry about playing through from beginning to end, learning all the controls. Though you can be on the lookout for the 35 challenges, collectibles, and things that can be converted such as billboards, restaurants, objects, and citizens. This will simply save you some time later on in the mop-op phase, but is not necessary at this point.

Next, there are the Shaun White Challenges. Some of these can be a bit tricky, but for the most part, it shouldn't prove to be too challenging in getting the gold medals in all of them.

From this point on, you can either mop-up any offline trophies you still need, or head into online multiplayer to unlock the 12 online trophies waiting for you. The online servers seem to be region-locked, which means your luck at finding people to play with will depend on who is online in your region/country. If you're having trouble doing these legitimately, check out the boosting forums under our Links tab. You only need one other player to unlock all the online trophies.

Good luck!

Prince of Persia Warrior Within Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Prince of Persia Warrior Within Trophy Guide. Difficulty: **  A third-person action platformer originally released in 2004, and revamped in HD in 2010. At least three playthroughs are required for the Platinum, one of which on Hard mode.

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within is a third-person action platformer, originally released on sixth-generation consoles in 2004, and revamped in HD with trophy support on the PlayStation 3 in 2010 as part of the Prince of Persia Trilogy. The game is a sequel to The Sands of Time.

Taking place seven years following the events of The Sands of Time, the Prince is being pursued by a creature known as the Dahaka. After learning this is a result of releasing the Sands of Time, the Prince sets off to prevent the Sands from being created, hoping to escape his fate and appease the Dahaka.

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within on the PlayStation 2 received mostly positive reviews, with an average score of 85%, praised for its platforming elements and improved combat system, though criticized by some for the game's new artistic direction.

While Prince of Persia: Warrior Within could arguably be considered the more difficult game in the Prince of Persia Trilogy, it's not by a far degree. At least three playthroughs are required, one of which on Hard mode, with some collectibles to find and missable trophies which, if you're following one of the guides in our Links page, shouldn't pose much of a problem. Any average player shouldn't have too much trouble unlocking the platinum, hence the 2-star difficulty rating.

Expect roughly 20-25 hours for the Platinum, if done in three playthroughs.

The game will require a minimum of three full playthroughs, as the difficulty mode related trophies do not stack. It's up to you which route you take, but we recommend at least working towards the Undefeated trophy - completing the game without dying - last. This way, after having played the game twice already, you should know it inside and out, making this trophy easier. Also, we recommend doing this on Easy mode.

Also, you should NOT attempt to get the secret ending, and therefore the Black Sand trophy, on Hard mode, as defeating the Dahaka on this mode is quite ridiculous. Save this for your Normal mode playthrough - or even Easy mode, if you feel confident about defeating him AND not dying for the Undefeated trophy.

So, the roadmap we recommend is as follows:

First, play on Normal mode, attempt to collect as many trophies as you can during the playthrough, get all the life boasts, then defeat Dahaka for the Black Sand trophy.

Second, play on Hard mode, try to unlock any missed trophies if you can, defeat the Empress for the normal ending, and therefore the Royal Battle trophy.

Third, play on Easy mode and focus on not dying, for the Undefeated trophy.

If there's anything missing after that, then simply start up a fourth game on Easy mode to mop-up anything remaining.
