Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is an action-adventure stealth game, first released on the PlayStation Portable in 2010, then re-released for the PlayStation 3 with trophy support as part of the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection in 2011.

Set in Costa Rica in November 1974, ten years after Snake Eater, Snake has left The Patriots group and is now leading his own band of mercenaries called the Militaires Sans Frontieres, attempting to stop a secret organization from putting into use their latest weapon, called the Peace Sentinels. The game features two main modes, Mission which are story-based and include side-missions, and Mother Base in which players manage and simulate the missions. A multiplayer function is also included.

The 2010 PSP version of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker received high praise, with an average score of 91% for its fascinating complexity despite being designed for a portable game console.

While a few trophies can get frustrating, the main reason for this 3-star rating is in the time required for the platinum. After completing one thorough playthrough, you will need to grind several missions over and over to collect staff and gear, as well as gain S-ratings. In addition to all this, there are a few online trophies to worry about as well.

Overall, expect to put in around 80-100 hours of gaming for this Platinum.

There's a lot to do here, so the first thing is to go through the Main Ops which focuses on the story-baed aspect of the game. Unfortunately, this is the easiest part of working towards that Platinum.

Once you've finished, you will need to go through the Extra Ops. Here, you'll want to collect staff members to help you through the Outer Ops missions, as well as unlock advanced gear which you'll need to acquire S-Ranks in missions. Overall, there are 32 Main Ops and 128 Extra Ops to grind through.

Once that hard part is done, there are three remaining online trophies to acquire: Trader, Versus Ops All Rules, and Vic Vos. Luckily, after having finished all the Ops grinding, these three online trophies should feel quite easy in comparison.

God of War Ghost of Sparta Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

God of War Ghost of Sparta Trophy Guide. Difficulty: **  A third-person action game and revamp of the 2010 title released on the PlayStation Portable. The Platinum is not any more or less difficult than other games in the series.

God of War: Ghost of Sparta

God of War: Ghost of Sparta was first released for the PlayStation Portable in November of 2010, then revamped in HD for the PlayStation in September of 2011 as part of the God of War: Origins Collection, along with Chains of Olympus.

The game is a third-person action adventure, with a story taking place immediately after the events of God of War I. Kratos, now having replaced Ares as the god of war, travels to the Temple of Poseidon in Atlantis to uncover secrets of his past, and search for a way to rid himself of his nightmares.

Like all God of War titles, the original PSP version of Ghost of Sparta received only positive reviews, with an average score of 92%, praised for its great story, fantastic graphics, and being comparable to any non-portable console game.

This game isn't any less or more difficult than other God of War titles. The Platinum can be earned with the same, usual roadmap - play the game on Hard mode, find all the collectibles, beat the Challenge of the Gods.

Can be completed in under 12 hours, particularly if you have experience with the series.

If you're in a rush for that Platinum, then you'll want to begin your game on Hard mode to unlock Zeus May Cry along with Only One Remains. Along the way, there are the usual collectibles to find - Gorgon Eyes and Phoenix Feathers - in addition to finding all the Minotaur Horns and the Godly Possessions. You may want to follow one of the walkthroughs we've posted in our Links page to locate all these collectibles so as to avoid a second playthrough. In addition, there are three missable trophies to watch out for: Make Her Scream, A Hero's Welcome, and The Midas Trick. Check out the trophy guides in our Links page for further details on how/when to collect these trophies.

Once you've finished the game, you'll have unlocked the Combat Arena, which you can use to mop-up the other trophies which may include farming for red orbs, acquiring the Grave Digger's Shovel as the final relic, get any combat-related trophies you're missing, and even perform the 1000-hit combo for the Greatest Hits trophy.

If all went well, then you should only have the Challenge of the Gods to complete, which includes 13 individual challenges. Check out the God of War Ghost of Olympus trophy guide links under our Links tab if you're having trouble with these.

God of War Chains of Olympus Trophy Guide

God of War Chains of Olympus Trophy Guide. Difficulty: **  A third-person action game and revamp of the 2008 title released on the PlayStation Portable. The Platinum is arguably easier and quicker than others in the series.

God of War: Chains of Olympus

God of War: Chains of Olympus was originally released for the PlayStation Portable in March of 2008, and was remastered with trophy support for the PlayStation 3 in September of 2011 as part of the God of War: Origins Collection, along with Ghost of Sparta.

The game is a third-person action adventure, and is a prequel to the original God of War I. Kratos, no longer a servant of Ares, now helps the other Gods of Olympus in hopes they might free him from the nightmares of his past. After having successfully defended Attica from the Persians, Morpheus - the God of Dreams - has caused many gods to fall into slumber during a sudden darkness. Athena asks Kratos to seek out the missing sun god Helios in order to end the fog of darkness and awaken the Olympian Gods.

Despite being criticized for its short length in gameplay and simple boss battles, the PSP version of Chains of Olympus received high praise for its same epic feel as the original God of War titles, with an average score of 92%.

If you've played any of the original God of War titles, then you should have a good idea of the difficulty level for acquiring the platinum for this game. In fact, Chains of Olympus is considered easier than GOW I, II, and III, since the collectibles are much easier to find, and the "Challenge of Hades" is a piece of cake compared to the previous "Challenges."

Overall, if you have experience with the GOW titles and manage to complete your first playthrough on Hard while acquiring all the collectibles and missable trophies, then it should only take roughly 10 hours to obtain the Platinum.

If you're in a rush for that Platinum, then start on Hard mode, which you'll need to complete for the Getting Your Money's Worth trophy. Along the way, you'll need to collect all 15 Gorgon Eyes, all 15 Phoenix Feathers, and upgrade all your weapons by unlocking all the chests you come across. Also, take not that there are 4 missable trophies: Two Girls One Spartan, Collateral Damage, Mutton For Punishment, and Old Softie. Check out the God of War Chains of Olympus trophy guide links under our Links tab for further details, and make multiple saves along the way to avoid having to replay the entire game should you miss one of those four trophies.

Once you've finished the game and collected nearly all the trophies, start a new game - on Easy, if you like - using an unlocked costume for the Cosplayer trophy. Don't worry, you needn't play the entire game again with this costume for the trophy - in less than a minute, you should hear that bling.

All that should be left is completing the "Challenge of Hades," for the Piece Of Cake trophy. Luckily, there are only 5 challenges, and are far easier than those challenges in the original God of War titles.
