Wow, has it been eight weeks already? Time sure flies when you have so much to play, eh? Welcome back to Trophy World guys! Following the trend recently, things have been rather quiet on the trophy front, but we have four lists for your enjoyment this week:

Highlights of the week are Mushroom Wars, MX vs ATV Reflex and, surprisingly, Dark Void! Mushroom Wars is the seventh (!) title from Creat Studios on the PSN, and it seems like a good game to pick up and play for 5 minutes. The trophies look nice, making you try out all the different things the game has to offer. Sadly, there is only single-player and local multiplayer, no online. This game is certainly a priority for me to buy once I acquire the funds for it, the reviews so far show that it’s better than your average PSN game.

MX vs ATV Reflex is the fourth entry in the series by THQ, promising real-time terrain deformation and a new “dual-stick” control scheme, where you use the left stick to steer your vehicle and the right stick to throw your rider’s body weight around. Seems like you can get the Platinum for just finishing through the Campaign. Should be a fun game for those of you into the more arcadey type of racing. It comes out later this year, around December I believe.

I couldn’t believe this one, and still don’t know how this was possible, but apparently someone already has Dark Void. It’s a new game from Capcom, which focuses on aerial combat and flying using jetpacks! The game was delayed to next year, so it’s clear that the game is almost complete, and was trying to avoid the holidays due to either Modern Warfare or the recession. The trophies mainly focus on ‘Complete xxx’, but there are some trophies for completing other tasks as well. All in all, I look forward to trying the game out next year, hopefully there will be a demo to whet my appetite.

My favourite trophy of the week is:

Dark Void/ Bronze

Grand Theft…UFO?
Grand Theft…UFO? – Hijacked 20 UFOs

Excellent homage right there. Nice to see some developers taking their time and naming some trophies imaginatively. See you next time!

  1. Really want a Quiz game. Anybody able to tell me which one is the best?


    • People I’m sure will all say Buzz, and I guess newer the better, so might as well go for Quiz World when it comes out.


      • Buzz seems to have superior review scores on Metacritic, but it’s up to you I guess.


    • If your wanting it for parties n stuff the Buzz! games are always brilliant, especially with the DLC and user-made packs. I also hear the Trivial Persuit is also quite good, but i never understand a single question in the game so never played the video game verson lol.


  2. Grand Theft…UFO? has to be the greatest Trophy name ever!


    • Ha, best trophy name ever:
      Resistance 2
      OMGWTFBBQ?! – Complete the game on superhuman


  3. I remember how surprised you were when you saw someone playing Dark Void!

    It really is surprising that it is out there this early – its not even out for ages.
    It should be good and I really like the “Grand Theft… UFO?” trophy :D .


  4. Oh by the way Zuler your Buzz link goes to the Dark Void list.


    • It doesnt for me!?! You sure your clicking the right link?
      Or maybe its all ready been edited…


      • It’s been edited :D


      • nofi isn’t the only one with quick fingers ;)


      • Odd though, looking at my sent emails the links were fine.


      • yeah it was right in the email and I only copy/pasted the links and then went through fixing the front half of them like I do every week so I don’t see how it changed? Weird.
        Never mind, fixed now!


      • Very weird indeed. Do you know how I might be able to help you and send you links fixed?


  5. No trophy lists for games I’m buying, but still… more great stuff Zuler. :) Man are you racking up the TSA points, you’ll be able to buy a full price game from gamesBasement for free soon. :)


    • If only I lived in the UK :(


      • GamesBasement also ships abroad….
        just check it out.


  6. No games included this week that really interest me, but I’m looking forward to the Assassins Creed 2 list which hopefully will be coming out soon!!

    Come on Zuler, do your magic!!! ;)


    • I expect the list to come either sometime this week or next ;)


  7. Hmmmm… Perhaps I should get Buzz: Quiz World. Since I told my family I got the platinum in Buzz: Quiz TV, they won’t play it with me. They know that Platinum = Completely finished the game, and that that means I know every question. (I don’t, by the way! Not by a long shot…) I don’t really do the online, only for the trophies. It’s just not the same as playing against 7 others in the same room.
    Is Quiz World much of an advancement on Quiz TV?


  8. dark void looks good


    • agreed


  9. Yeah, my list was mentioned – well kinda! I posted Buzz one Wahoo! Lookin forward to Assassins Creed 2 as well.


  10. Grand theft UFo is hilarious.
