PlayStation Plus Free Games June 2024

Editorial Team

Summer is nearly upon us, and for some that might mean summer holidays are approaching as well. For those of us not planning on leaving the house, Sony will be giving us something to do. And so, there is the PlayStation Plus Free Games June 2024 line-up which will be available for download on Tuesday, June 4.

First, there is SpongeBob Squarepants: The Cosmic Shake, last year’s 3D platformer developed by Purple Lamp, and based on the Nickelodeon animated series Spongebob SquarePants. Players control to optimistic yellow sponge and, along with his pal Patrick, take on an adventure through multiple realities called “Wish Worlds” in order to save both their friends and the town Bikini Bottom.

Next, those of you who prefer a little more physical action, there’s AEW Fight Forever, last year’s professional wrestling game developed by Yuke’s, and based on the All Elite Wrestling. This is a more arcade-style wrestling game than a simulation, including several match types such as singles, tag team, Casino Battle Royale, and Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch. The game includes both a career mode, as well as online play.

Lastly, for those of you who prefer punching than grabbing, there’s Streets of Rage 4, a side-scrolling beat ‘em up developed by Dotemu, Lizardcube, and Guard Crush Games. The game continues the original SEGA Streets of Rage trilogy, in which up to four players scroll through levels while taking on waves of enemies.

All three PlayStation Plus Free Games June 2024 titles have a platinum trophy to unlock. Also, while both SpongeBob Squarepants: The Cosmic Shake and AEW Fight Forever are available for both the PS4 and PS5, Streets of Rage 4 is only for the PS4.

Among these titles, the platinum for SpongeBob Squarepants: The Cosmic Shake is arguably the easiest to obtain, as well as the quickest. Despite needing two playthroughs for each level, the platinum can be unlocked in around 15-20 hours.

Next, getting the platinum on AEW Fight Forever is below-average difficulty as well. Also, despite the game having online play, there are no online trophies to worry about. Due to some grinding, expect around 30 hours to unlock the platinum.

Lastly, getting the platinum on Streets of Rage 4 is no easy task. This is mainly due to needing an S-rank on each mission on Hard mode. The platinum can take anywhere between 35-50 hours, depending on your skills.

UFC Undisputed 2009 Trophy Guide

UFC Undisputed 2009

UFC Undisputed 2009 is a mixed martial arts game licensed by the Ultimate Fighting Championship. The game includes six fighting styles: boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo, and wrestling, as well as a roster of over 80 real-life UFC players. The game includes two-player battles both offline and online.

UFC Undisputed 2009 received positive reviews with an average score of 83%, praised for its fighting system, graphics, and overall fun.

Without boosting, the online trophies can be quite tough. With a boosting partner, this difficulty could be brought down to a 3-star, though will still prove challenging unlocking the Ooh In Ya Face trophy, as well as a few others. This Platinum requires both a lot of skill, as well as time for grinding.

Overall, expect at least 40 hours of gameplay, though possibly more depending on your skills, and whether or not you're boosting.

The first thing you'll probably want to do is go through the tutorial. Not only will this net you the Student Of The Game trophy, but also teach you all the basic controls, takedowns, and submissions.

After that, we recommend heading into the Exhibition matches. There are seven trophies to unlock here, plus going through will continue to hone your skills as you learn the different fighting styles, and learn some new techniques.

Next, it's time to head into the Career mode. You'll need to win the belt in each weight class, so we recommend just winning it in four of the classes, then select a fifth class to use as your main career. You should eventually unlock the Undisputed Champion trophy, as well as an additional seven, after completing your full career. Make sure you finish the entire career undefeated for the Call Me No Touch trophy. If you happen to be losing a fight, quickly hit the PS button and quit the game, then restart.

Now, it's time to head online. Given the age of the game, you may struggle to find players to fight against. If that's the case, check out the boosting forums under our Links tab. There are 11 online trophies in total, and while Red Belt will be your longest grind, the Ooh In Ya Face will probably be your most difficult trophy, as this almost seems to be luck based.

With the online trophies finished, simply mop-up any other remaining trophies, and you're done.

Good luck!

WWE SmackDown vs Raw 2011 Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

WWE SmackDown vs Raw 2011 Trophy Guide. Difficulty: **  A wrestling game based on the World Wrestling Entertainment and the twelfth in the WWE SmackDown vs. Raw series. Despite a few tricky matches, the Platinum is overall not particularly difficult nor time consuming, though finding online players may be difficult.

WWE SmackDown vs Raw 2011

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2011 is a wrestling game based on the professional wrestling promotion World Wrestling Entertainment, is the twelfth in the WWE SmackDown vs. Raw series, and the last to fall under the SmackDown vs. Raw name before future titles were simply named WWE. Changes include a new physics system that improves the realism of objects used such as tables and chairs, a revamp of the Hell in a Cell match, and the WWE Universe which builds storylines that are placed randomly throughout the match in the form of cutscenes.

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw received generally positive reviews with an average score of 74%, praised by some for its added WWE Universe feature, creation tools, and animations, though criticized for its online lag, glitches, and graphics.

This is a high 2-star rating, only because the age of the game makes it difficult to find online players to unlock two of the online trophies. With a boosting partner however, this could be brought down to a low 2-star rating. The game is not particularly difficult, especially if you have experience with other games in the series, and is more time-consuming than challenging.

Expect roughly 20-30 hours depending on your skills, and ability to find online players.

There are some quick trophies you can unlock in Create mode. After creating something in Paint Tool, create yourself a Superstar and assign your paint tool created sign for the Sign Of The Times trophy. Then select this image as your logo under the section Brand for the Original Brand Logo trophy. Next, create one of each of the three finisher types for the Create With The Moves trophy. Finally, upload an item from each of the categories online to get the Way To Contribute trophy.

Now it's time to actually do some wrestling. It should first be noted however, that you can adjust the game difficult to Easy if you're in a rush for that trophy, and keep in mind that all offline trophies must be earned when fighting against the AI.

Head into Practice Arena, where you will not only learn the controls and gameplay, but unlock both the A Student Of The Game and Magna Cum Laude trophies by completing all the tips.

Next, play through the Road to WrestleMania, where you will unlock several trophies naturally along the way. There are a few other trophies you can earn during this playthrough if you wish to get them out of the way, such as the Magic Number and Pinnings Not the Only Way, so check out the WWE SmackDown vs Raw 2011 trophy guide links under our Links tab.

With that done, you can head into WWE Unviere, where you will play your created superstar and work towards becoming the #1 Contendor for the One Step Closer To The Gold trophy. In this mode, you can also unlock the Intercontinental Champ, the US Champ, the Champion of Champions, the Unified Tag Champs, as well as the Mr Money In The Bank and A Successful Cash In trophies.

Then, simply mop-up any offline trophies you may still be missing. Again, be sure to check out the trophy guides under our Links tab to see what you need and what their requirements are.

At any point, you can work on unlocking the two remaining online trophies. This includes playing an online Royal Rumble all the way through for the Win Or Lose At Least You Tried trophy, and win the match for The Last Man Standing trophy. If you're having trouble finding players, check out the boosting forums under our Links tab.

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 is a wrestling game based on the professional wrestling promotion World Wrestling Entertainment, and the eleventh in the WWE SmackDown vs. Raw series. While centering on the brands SmackDown and Raw, the game also includes the former ECW brand. Players can select either an in-game player or customize their own, and compete in various matches. Story Designer has been added for players to create a WWE storyline for their character, as well as Superstar Threads which allows customization of attire colors, a Paint Tool for creating logos for their characters, and an expansion on the Create-a-Finisher mode called Road to Wrestlemania.

WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 received mainly positive reviews with an average score of 81%, praised for its character creation mode and improvement in gameplay, while some criticized the loading time.

This is a low 2-star rating. While there may be a few matches that can be tricky, and some missable trophies to watch out for, the platinum is reasonably easy to achieve - and even easier if you have experience playing wrestling titles.

Expect roughly 15-20 hours, depending on your skills and experience.

If you're in a rush for that platinum, then you might want to begin things by modifying the options to make this game even easier. Head into Options, then select Gameplay Options, and Match Options. From here, you can select In-Game Options, and set the difficulty to Easy, the Momentum Bar Charge Speed to Fast, and turn off the Stamina System. Then, under Gameplay Balance Options and A.I. Reversal Balancing, move all the bars to the lowest setting (left). Then under Damage Balancing, move the bars to their highest setting. Finally, under Game Balancing, move all the bars to the easiest setting. This will make an easy game even easier.

After that, it's pretty much up to you which direction you'd like to take. There are a few easy create-related trophies you can unlock from the beginning, such as the New Superstar Initiative trophy, which you'll need at the start of your gameplay career, anyway. Also Story Designer for creating an original story, Finisher Of The Year Candidate for creating a dive finisher, and An Original Design by creating an image with the paint tool.

There are basically two modes which you'll need to play through. The first are the Road to WrestleMania stories. Be warned there are a few missable trophies here, but if you follow one of the WWE SmackDown vs Raw 2010 guide links under our Links tab, you should be safe from missing the Nothing More To Collect trophy.

Then there's also the Career mode, in which you should eventually unlock the Career Growth and 2010 Hall Of Fame Nominee trophies with your created character.

While playing through both the Road to Wrestlemania and Career mode, you'll want to be working towards getting 10 wins by submission, 50 wins by pinfall, and perform 100 reversals successfully for their respective trophies.

After all that, it's just a matter of mopping-up any remaining trophies.

WWE Legends of WrestleMania Trophy Guide

WWE Legends of WrestleMania

WWE Legends of WrestleMania is a wrestling game based on the World Wrestling Entertainment, and features the legendary professionals from the 1980's and 1990's, back when WWE was known as the World Wrestling Federation.

Players can create their own wrestler and compete against the legends, or play as the legends themselves, such as Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Sgt. Slaughter, The Rock, and many others. The game features different modes, such as "Relive" in which players must match objectives to true WrestleMania events, "Rewrite" where players play as the loser of the event, and "Redefine" in which players alter the WrestleMania event. Also included is arcade-style gameplay, Tag Team, Steel Cage, Ladder, and many others.

WWE Legends of WrestleMania received mixed reviews, with an average score of 73%. the game was praised for its nostalgia of the earlier WrestleMania days, but criticized for its repetitiveness.

Not a particularly time-consuming game, and not difficulty - especially if you select Easy mode. Simply work your way through the different modes and tiers, perform a few challenge-specific objectives, and the Platinum is yours.

If you're playing on Easy, it shouldn't take you longer than 12 hours to complete.

If you're in a rush for that Platinum, and wish to make the experience as easy as possible, then first head into Options and select Easy mode. There is no difficulty-based trophy.

We recommend beginning by creating your Legend character. Though he'll begin slow and lacking power, you'll eventually max out his stats as you collect experience points, making him the strongest wrestler - and therefore easier when attempting to get the challenge-based trophies, such as Chain Struggle and Dive Attack. Once you've made your character, start working through each of the 3 tiers. Remember to up your Legend character's stats between tiers, so he'll continuously grow stronger. At this point, you can also work through the All Star Legends tier. Remember to work towards the challenge-specific trophies during this time.

From there, you'll need to play a Tag Team game to get the tag Chain Struggle trophy, and a Royal Rumble to get the Royal Rumble Winner trophy (remember to select 30th place, to make your life easier). Hopefully by now, your Legends character should be maxed out.

Next are the Relive, Rewrite, and Redefine matches, which are generally considered the more difficult part of the game. Check out the walkthroughs in our Links page for tips on achieving the objectives in each match. Also, remember to get the Memory Serves Me Well trophy on one of the Relive matches - the first one, being the easiest.

Lastly, you can use your Legend character again, and work through the newly unlocked Favorite Legends tier. Afterwards, just mop-up any other trophies you may have missed.
