Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back is a platforming action adventure originally released on the PlayStation One in 1997, and revamped with trophy support for the PlayStation 4 in 2017 as part of the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. Like the previous game, players jump over obstacles and can either land on enemies to eliminate them, or perform a spin attack. Players clear levels by obtaining one of 25 crystals before returning to the Warp Room and selecting the next level.

Thwarted by Crash for his plans of world domination, Cortex soon devises a new scheme which requires glowing crystals to hold in the power of a solar flux - and needs Crash to retrieve them for him.

The original Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back on the PlayStation One received positive reviews with an average score of 87%, praised for its beautiful graphics, variety of levels, fun gameplay, and being an overall superior game to its predecessor.

While the Platinum for Crash Bandicoot 2 still requires some skills, it is far easier than its predecessor. At least two playthroughs are required, and possibly some backtracking for mopping up. While there are still some tricky areas, any average player should be able to unlock the Platinum.

Expect around 20 hours for the Platinum, though it entirely depends on your skills.

There is only one missable trophy, which you can unlock near the start of the game. For the Cortex N. Furiated trophy, you need to enter a level and exit back to the warp room without acquiring the crystal. Each time you do this, Cortex will continue to get irritated, until the third time where the trophy will unlock.

Once that's out of the way, then simply play through the game from start to finish. You'll be unlocking the story-related trophies along the way. If you wish, you can start collecting the gems now, although you won't be able to obtain all of them just yet, until you have the colored gems.

After that's finished, it's time to replay levels in order to find all the secret exits, gold relics, and all the gems.

Finally, just mop-up any miscellaneous trophies you may still need, and you're finished. Be sure to check out the Crash Bandicoot 2 Cortex Strikes Back trophy guide links under our Links tab to see what you're missing and their requirements.

Uncharted Drake’s Fortune Remastered Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Uncharted Drake’s Fortune Remastered Trophy Guide. Difficulty: **  A third-person action-platformer and revamp from the original 2007 version. At least one playthrough on Crushing mode is required, with a chapter select for mopping up.

Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune Remastered

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Remastered is a third-person action adventure with puzzle elements, originally released on the PS3 in 2007, and revamped for the PS4 in 2015 as part of the Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection with technical and graphical improvements.

Nathan Drake, treasure hunter, teams up with his lifelong friend Victor Sullivan and a reporter named Elena Fisher, are on a search for the fabled El Dorado. While pirates are hot on their heels, Drake and his friends will soon learn of ancient evil awaiting them.

The original Uncharted: Drake's Fortune on the PS3 received high praise with an average score of 88%, praised for its visuals and presentation, voice acting, story, and overall exciting fun.

If you've already played and gotten the Platinum on the PS3 version, than the Remastered copy won't hold any surprises. Most of the trophies are the same, with a few minor changes. Getting 250 headshots is now required, rather than only 100, as well as killing 3 enemies with a single explosion five times, and a few speed-run related trophies. Like the PS3 version, a playthrough on Crushing mode is required - which is available from the start. And there is still the Chapter Select available for mopping-up afterwards.

Expect between 12-20 hours for the Platinum, depending on how many playthroughs you do, and if you have experience playing the PS3 version.

Crushing mode is available from the beginning, so if you already have experience playing Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, and wish to avoid a second playthrough, then you may as well start there.

However, if this is your first time, and you don't mind performing a second playthrough, than we recommend starting on an easier level in order to get used to the game. Crushing mode is no cakewalk.

Along the way, you'll want to follow one of the collectible guides under our Links tab to find all 60 treasures, as well as the Strange Relic for the Relic Finder trophy. Additionally, you'll want to work on accumulating headshots, as you'll need up to 250 for the 250 Headshots trophy, and kill 50 enemies by melee-attacking from behind for the Master Ninja trophy. Lastly, there are a number of weapon-kill related trophies which you can be working on during your first playthrough, as well.

After you've eventually finished your playthrough on Crushing mode, it's time to use the Chapter Select to go back and mop-up anything you're missing. This may include some of the weapon-kill related trophies, and the speed-run trophies. Check out the Uncharted Drake's Fortune Remastered trophy guide links under our Links tab to see what you're still missing, and their requirements.

Crash Bandicoot Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Crash Bandicoot Trophy Guide. Difficulty: ***  A side-scrolling action platformer, and revamp of the original 1996 title released on the PlayStation One. The game is not long, but a few trophies demand some high skills and patience.

Crash Bandicoot

Crash Bandicoot is a side-scrolling action platformer, originally released in 1996 for the PlayStation One, and revamped with trophy support for the PlayStation 4 in June 2017, as part of the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. Players control Crash, a mutated bandicoot who can defeat enemies by jumping on them or performing a spin attack. He loses a life if hit by an enemy or dangerous obstacle, or falls into a bottomless pit. Crash can also use Aku Aku masks which award such bonuses as one-hit protection or temporary invincibility.

Set in the fictional, tropical Wumpa Islands, Crash Bandicoot is a bandicoot who has been mutated by Doctor Nitrus Brio, an assistant to Doctor New Cortex who is attempting to create an army of mutated animals for world domination. Guided by a witch doctor spirit, Crash must save his girlfriend Tawna from being the next mutated experiment, and stop Doctor Nitrus's evil plan.

The original Crash Bandicoot on the PlayStation One received high praise with an average score of 84%, for its bright and colorful graphics, 3D environment effects, and overall fun, though criticized by some for its average gameplay. The remake also received high praise for its tweaks and revamp, while remaining faithful to the original.

This is a low 3-star rating. The game is not particularly long, but can be quite challenging and will certainly test your patience. While the majority of the trophies can be easily unlocked simply by playing through the game and performing various challenges, a few trophies will hinder your road to the Platinum. Expect to replay levels over and over until a flawless speed-run can be achieved.

At least 20 hours are required for the Platinum, though possibly more depending on your skills and whether or not you have previous experience with the original Crash Bandicoot game.

You'll first want to start by simply playing through the game. There are no missable trophies to worry about. However, to save a bit of time, you could work on collecting most of the gems during this first playthrough. Aside from the story-related trophies which you'll unlock naturally, there are a few other miscellaneous ones you could choose to go after during this first playthrough. If so, check out the Crash Bandicoot trophy guide links under our Links tab.

It should be noted that not all the gems can be collected on your first playthrough. Some Color Gems can be tough as they require making it through the level without dying. Also, a few levels require Gem Paths in order to collect some of their gems. These Gem Paths will not be available until later in the game, so you can expect some replaying to collect them all.

Next, it's time to go after the Relics. Here is where your skills will be tested. You'll need 5 Relics for the Catch Me If You Can! trophy, 10 gold or better Relics for the Could Go...All...The...Way! trophy, and 26 gold or better Relics for the Practice Makes Perfect! trophy, which happens to be perhaps the most difficult trophy in the game. These Relics are obtained by making a speed run through the level without dying. While not every level will have you pulling your hair out, there are a few that demand plenty of practice until a flawless run can be achieved. If you're having a lot of difficulty with this, be sure to check out the level guides and video demonstrations under our Links tab.

If you've managed to unlock the Practice Makes Perfect! trophy, then congratulations! The hard part is done. Now, simply mop-up any trophies you're still missing. This may include The Ultimate Gem Path trophy for earning 26 Gems, and possibly a few other miscellaneous trophies. Again, check out the Crash Bandicoot trophy guide links under our Links tab to see what you still need and their requirements.

Uncharted 4 Trophy Guide

Uncharted 4 Trophy Guide. Difficulty: **  A third-person action adventure with platforming and puzzle elements, and the final game in the Uncharted series to feature Nathan Drake. The Platinum is fairly average in terms of difficulty and time required.

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is a third-person action adventure, and the final game in the series to feature Nathan Drake. Like previous titles in the series, the game features platforming elements such as jumping, climbing and swimming, puzzles to solve, as well as duck-and-cover shooting to take out enemies, with a stronger emphasis on stealth. The game also includes an online multiplayer mode.

Fifteen years have passed since Nathan Drake has retired and settled down with his wife Elena, despite missing the adventures. Though after being visited by his brother Sam Drake who proposes going after the treasure of pirate Henry Avery, Nathan sets off on another treasure hunt.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End was a critical success with an average score of 93%, praised for its incredible visuals, story and dialogue, added features, and overall fun gameplay.

If you've played any of the previous games in the Uncharted series, then you'll no what to expect in terms of difficulty and time required. The trophies are essentially the same, requiring a playthrough on Crushing mode, as well as finding collectibles and getting a certain number of kills with particular weapons. There is however, a speed-run trophy added to the mix. There are 5 online trophies which are easy to unlock and don't require boosting.

Expect roughly 30-40 hours of gameplay for the Platinum, depending on the number of playthroughs you do. NOTE: The retail version, if played unpatched, includes a cheat which grants infinite ammo after having completed the game. This cheat does not work on the digital downloaded version, or the retail version after it has been patched.

If you're in a rush for that Platinum, then you can jump into Crushing mode and start your first playthrough that way, since it is available from the beginning. However, if you are playing an unpatched retail version and plan on using the infinite ammo cheat, then you may wish to first clear the game on Easy or Normal, then a second on Crushing to make things easier.

Either way, there are a total of 193 collectibles to find, in the form of 109 treasures, 25 journal entries, 23 notes, and 36 optional conversations. If you wish to get these out of the way, then follow one of the collectibles guides under our Links tab. There is a chapter select after completing the game, so don't fret if you miss anything.

Also, there are some chapter-specific story-related trophies, which need to be done in chapters 4, 8, 9, 10, 11 (x4), 12 (x2), 13, 14, 17, 22, and the Epilogue. Check out the Uncharted 4 trophy guide links under our Links tab for more details. Again, if you miss these, you can always go back via the chapter select.

After that, there are two more playthrough trophies which include completing the game in 6 hours or less for the Charted! - Speedrun trophy, and completing the game with over 70% shot accuracy for the Sharpshooter trophy. It's up to you if you wish to do both of these in one playthrough, or separate the two. Keep in mind that the cutscenes are included during the 6 hours speedrun, so they will need to be skipped.

Then, use the chapter select to mop up any remaining offline trophies you may still be missing. Again, check out the Uncharted 4 trophy guide links under our Links tab to see what you're missing and their requirements.

Finally, there are 5 online trophies to unlock. These don't need boosting, as they simply require playing 5 matches in multiplayer, completing the trials on moderate difficulty, as well as spawning sidekicks and reviving allies.

Enjoy!
