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

Editorial Team

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.

Order: 1886 Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

The Order: 1886 Trophy Guide. Difficulty: *  A short game, which can be played on Easy mode. Also has a chapter select, so nothing is missable.

Game Name Difficulty Trophies Developer Country Bronze Silver Gold Online DLC
Order: 1886 * 22 Ready at Dawn U.S. 0 14 7 0 0

The Order: 1886

The Order: 1886 is a third-person action shooter set in an alternate historical London which includes both old and advanced technologies, in a horror-like setting. It was one of the earliest exclusive PlayStation 4 titles.

In 1886, London falls under the attack of both half-breed creatures and an anti government insurgency. Sir Galahad is a member of the Order, a group of knights who protect the world from such half-breeds. He heads off with several other Order members to battle the creatures plaguing London and uncover a seeming relationship between the half-breeds and anti-government rebels.

The Order: 1886 received a wide mix of reviews, with an average score of 64%, praised for its graphics and exciting action, but criticized for its short length and lack of replay value.

So far, this is arguably one of the easiest and quickest platinum on the PlayStation 4. The game can be played on Easy mode, and is quite short. Some collectibles and kill-related trophies are required, but there's even a chapter select to help you out with that.

Overall, the platinum can certainly be earned in under 8 hours.

There are no trophies related to difficulty, so feel free to play on Easy if you like. If you're in a rush for that platinum, then it's advisable to follow a guide and locate all six types of collectibles, which include Newspapers, Photographs, Phonograph Cylinders, Documents, Inspect Items, and Inspect Objects. There are also a few kill-related trophies which you can work on during your playthrough, such as 100 headshots or 75 pistol kills, for example.

Once you've completed the story, you can use the chapter select to mop-up any last remaining kill-related trophies or collectibles you've missed.

And that's it!

Deformers To Be Delayed

Editorial Team

DeformersReady at Dawn Studios has just announced that their physics-based combat game, titled Deformers, will be delayed. The original release date was scheduled for February 14.

“The purpose of these [alpha and technical tests] was to hammer on our updated network infrastructure and to get outside eyes on this wacky game we’ve been developing – there’s a lot of ‘firsts’ for us when it comes to Deformers: online multiplayer, game modes, matchmaking, squichy lil’ pugs, and more!” Ready at Dawn stated on their website.

“The feedback and data we’ve gathered over the past few weeks we’ve been playing together has been incredibly valuable and insightful; it’s also halped us to make the tough call on slightly delaying the February 14 launch of Deformers so we can spend more time addressing your feedback and ensuring that we deliver the best gameplay experience possible. This extra time will also provide even more opportunities to gather additional feedback and invite others to try out Deformers.”

As of yet, no new release date for Deformers has been announced.
