Welcome back to Trophy World! Things should be picking up trophy-wise at around March, when you have a plethora of new games coming out. Still, quite a lot of  lists this week:

It goes without saying that highlights of the week are Peggle and PixelJunk Shooter. Around ‘teh interwebz’, PopCap have carved a reputation of making bite-sized and very addicttive games. If anyone asked for their best game so far, most would say Peggle. It’s the only game I know of that has the title of ‘digital crack’ and it certainly deserves that title. I can barely explain how the game works, so it would be best if you watched colossalblue’s video about the new Nights DLC to get a better idea.  The trophies of the game are nice and creative. Be warned: the bronze trophies of Peggle are deceptively simple, but those silvers are very hard. Oh, and that gold? I can assure you it will be harder to get that than doing all races on Phantom on Elite in WipEout HD. I doubt anyone will ever get that, unless they have some insane amounts of patience. I don’t, so I won’t ever get that…

The PixelJunk franchise has put out some of the best games on the PSN and Shooter looks no different. The game looks absolutely stunning and those fluid animations are to die for. Our own colossalblue and Nofi have snagged review copies for themselves and say that the game is fantastic. Colossalblue has even uploded a video of him going through the first level of the game. The trophies at first glimpse look rather simple, but when have we known a PixelJunk game to be easy? In all honesty though, from what I’ve seen, it does look a bit easier than the previous 3 games. Then again, all the them were deceptively simple at first… I’m just really thankful that all the trophies aren’t bronze with one silver like in Eden.

My favourite trophy of the week is:

PixelJunk Shooter/Gold

Treasure Hunter 3
Get all the treasure from Episode 3

I’m really psyched for the game and cannot wait to try my hand at this trophy. I just hope that it won’t be as tough as Eden, but not as easy as something like Terminator Salvation… see you next week!

  1. I will have to get to work on my Trophy collection I am only lvl 7 at the moment.


  2. Does anyone else think that the trophies in MW2 have worked out very well, they seemed to quite well balanced, difficult but certainly within the realms of possibility. The trophy list for MW2 would be my favourite of the year, of the games I have played of course, Terminator Salvation was the worst closely followed by Transformers:ROTF, awful games and trophy lists


    • I agree. The MW2 trophy list is well thought out. They could have so easily done a list of mostly online trophies but instead it looks like a lot of thought went into them.


      • Arent they the same as the other call of duty games except you have to earn co-op stars?


    • I agree. The MW2 trophies are the best I’ve seen so far. Only 2 more trophies and I got my platinum. Just need to complete a couple of spec op missions. PSN id: CarlosF09, if anyone wants to do them in co-op :)


      • Uncharted 2 are the best for me. Mostly offline, but with a couple just to get you to at least ‘try’ online mode. Some very hard ones, lots rewarding exploration and replay (which you can do with infinate ammo or ‘any weapon’ for a bit of a laugh) but ultimately, all achievable


      • Agreed, Uncharted 2 trophies are great. Just a couple of online ones to tempt you into MP, but the rest all being offline. That way, you only find people genuinely interested in playing MP are online, as you don’t have to play MP to grind online trophies unlike some other games!!


      • Uncharted 2 trophies are basically the same as the first game. I’ve been there, done that. But I agree that its good UC2 doesn’t have stupid online trophies like Resistance 2.


  3. Thanx for the info


  4. Terminator Salvation was a terrible game with a bad trophy list, but Matt Hazzard’s silver trophy for just watching the credits – thats got to be in the top 10 worst


    • A top ten that must surely feature DJ Hero at number 1 for that profiteering ‘two player on one console’ bulls**t


      • Yeah, that was really annoying.


  5. assassins creed, Bat man and uncharted probable had the best trophies for me this year and infamous just because that was my first plat


    • no way .detuned & terminator salvation lol no I would never do that.


  6. I was going to buy Peggle but found that my US account is down to $2.99, aah well back to E-Bay.


  7. Some good trophies this week!


  8. Lots of trophy lists this week! I would put my money on Zuler being a fairly significant contributor. ;)


    • I’ll take that bet…


    • You should thank oMega-W, he’s done awesome work this week! :)


  9. A massive update, great work! :)
    Some nice lists, Out of all of those listed, looking most forward to PJ: Shooter.


  10. A good list this week. I think I might give Peggle a try!! ;)


  11. Having a near impossible mega time consuming trophy actually puts me off the game, I probably would have got Peggle otherwise.


  12. Hi Zuler, Some good stuff again this week.
    I’m particularly interested in PJ Shooter which looks awesome and Peggle which i have never even heard of but everyone seems to love, I dont play games on pc or phone though, I treat them more as tools …
