Batman: Arkham Asylum

Batman: Arkham Asylum is a third-person, action-adventure game with some stealth involved. The story begins with Batman escorting the Joker to Arkham Asylum, where many of his henchmen as well as other villains are currently cooped-up. But the Joker escapes, and threatens to blow-up Gotham via bombs he's scattered around the city. Without the police able to enter the asylum, Batman must work alone to foil the Joker's plan.

Voiced by the same actors from the Animated Series - Kevin Conroy as Batman, and Mark Hamill - the game's story was also written by Batman writer Paul Dini. It has received high reviews by many gaming magazines and websites, with an average 92% for its superb graphics, innovative idea and great story. Batman: Arkham Asylum even holds a Guinness World Record for Most Critically Acclaimed Superhero Game Ever. Wow!

While some trophies are fairly easy, the ones related to the Challenge Mode can be quite frustrating. A good portion of the trophies are story-based, and the others require performing specific challenges or collecting things like riddles.

If you begin the game on Hard mode, you will only need to playthrough the game once, provided that you collect the missable trophies. Not particularly time consuming, but requires some serious gaming skills at times.

If you want to acquire the Platinum in the quickest time possible, begin the game on Hard mode. Then just focus on getting through the story, while destroying every Joker's Teeth you come across. At this point, you don't need to worry about finding all the Riddles. You can do that after completing the game.

Check out the trophies Shocking Rescue, Leave No Man Behind, and Party Pooper under our Links tab for advice. These are three missable trophies, which will require you to restart the game if not collected along the way.

Once you've finished the story, and have all the Gadgets to allow you to move freely, you can start collecting all the remaining Riddles. The Riddler's Map will help you find them - but it's still up to you to find all the Joker's Teeth.

After that, it's on to the Challenges. These are not easy. But you've already come this far, so why give up, right? Again, check out our Links tab for tips and strategies.

Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters

Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters is a third-person action adventure, based on the 2011 film Green Lantern, which in turn is adapted from the DC Comic. The game includes 3D visuals, and features many of the same voice talents from the actors in the film, including Ryan Reynolds as the Green Lantern.

The Manhunters, an android race created to serve as an interstellar police force, were banished after preferring to administer punishment rather than serve justice. Now, the Manhunters have returned and are looking for revenge, and only the Green Lantern Corp can stop them.

Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters received lukewarm reviews, with an average score of 60%, stated to have average graphics, presentation, and being overall a merely satisfactory game with no particular flaws nor mind-blowing aspects.

A fairly easy Platinum, and pretty standard as most movie-adapted game titles go. No online trophies to worry about. Only one playthrough if you select hard mode, which isn't very difficult, with some collectibles to find along the way, and a chapter select to mop-up afterwards.

Overall, should take around 10 hours to plat.

The fastest way to that platinum, is to select Emerald Knight difficulty, which is the hard mode of the game. Compared to hard modes of other games, Emerald Knight is not that difficult. If you have trouble with some of the boss battles, here's a nice little trick: plug in and activate a second controller to create a player two. If you die, simply grab the second controller and run around until your first player respawns after 10 seconds.

During your playthrough, you'll want to follow one of the walkthroughs or collectible guides in our Links page, to nab the 5 Blue Meteorites, and 9 Green Meteorites.

Once you've finished the game, you can use the Chapter Select to mop-up any trophies you missed. This will probably include purchasing all the upgrades, in which case we recommend replaying the last level over and over on Poozer difficulty to grind for energy.

Then, that's it. A shiny new Platinum to your collection!
