I've just finished CSI Fatal Conspiracy. The game is ridiculously boring, with very easy puzzles and not a great deal of action. It took me about 7 hours to get through it and earn the platinum trophy. The majority of trophies are story related and so can't really be missed, with a few for how well you do when solving each case.
I am now going to try to carry on with Uncharted 3, its been about 4 weeks since I last played it so I hope I haven't forgotten the controls or how to play.

Megamind: The Ultimate Showdown
I decided to take a break from the second play-through of Uncharted 3 because Megamind come from Love Film. This is by far the easiest platinum I have gotten. It took me about 3 hours to finish this game and get all the trophies. Only one play-through is required, and there are no difficulty settings. This game is aimed at kids, making it even easier to platinum.
3 hours of playing and I have increased my trophy count by 10 Bronze, 8 Silver, 7 Gold and 1 Platinum trophy. This also brings up my 20th platinum.
Anyway back to uncharted 3 now.

Wanted: Weapons of Fate Trophies
It turns out this game was very easy to get through. With just the first playthrough on assassin difficulty I managed to add a tidy 25 bronze and 1 Silver trophy. I got all the all the trophies for completing the acts on easy and assassin as they are stackable. I also got a few random ones for killing people with curved bullets or blowing up a rat. The first playthrough took about 2 hours to complete.
Trophies from first playthough:
Trophies from second playthrough:
The last thin left to do was to get all the hidden trophies. This involved typing in cheats to unlock different characters, and different game modes. It also involves repeating the last act a few times.

Wanted: Weapons of Fate Trophies
Wanted: Weapons of Fate has just arrived from Love Film. It is supposed to be a follow on from the Wanted movie, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Just by looking over the trophies I can tell that I am going to need two playthroughs at least to get all the difficulty related trophies. There is a total of 51 trophies to be earned, 39 Bronze, 9 Silver, 2 Gold, and the Platinum. There seems to be a few hidden trophies, if they don't pop during my two playthroughs, I'm sure it wouldn't be to hard to try to find out what their requirements are on the internet.
So here we go, starting playthrough number 1 on Assassin difficulty.

Prison Break Invisible and Platinum Trophy
I have finally managed to get the Platinum trophy for prison break. I think the most annoying bit of the whole game was trying to get through chapter 7 without being spotted. The checkpoints are rather far apart, meaning that you have to redo large sections every time you get caught.
If any one is still confused about the best way to get the invisible trophy for this game, I can confirm that if you do get caught and the press X to continue appears on the screen, you should press start instead and quit to the main menu and then click continue. If you do accidently press X, all is not lost just press start and quit really quickly and the game will not save it. You can push X if you fail any of the little button presses scenes. This will not affect you getting the invisible trophy. You do not need to quit the game using the XMB.

Shrek Forever After
Finally got exams out the way and am back into hunting for platinums. I got Shrek Forever after from Love Film. The game itself turned out to be more fun than I was expecting, considering it is a kids game. It is easy to get the platinum for this game, and took me about 8 hours to do. I had to go through two playthroughs to get all the trophies, and only really struggled with one area of the game that required me to get 100% completion on all the levels. The docks level in particular proved tricky as it can be a bit hard trying to find all the islands on which the treasures are hidden.
I now need to get back into Prison Break and try to finish it off. Just one trophy left on it and it will be another platinum added.

Post MW2
After getting the platinum for MW2 my obsession really kicked in. I ended up going to blockbuster and renting Terminator Salvation and Hanna Montana The Movie (which I told the guy at the counter was to keep my niece entertained while she was visiting for the weekend) (I don't actually have a niece).
By the end of the weekend I had the platinum trophies for both these games, and was looking for my next fix. I decided to see what cheap games I could find on eBay. I ended up purchasing Quantum of Solace, Far Cry 2 and Mercenaries 2. Far Cry 2 and Mercenaries 2 were sold again almost as soon as I got them through the mail, however I did hang onto Quantum of Solace.
I was done with the single player story rather quickly, however the online multiplayer part required me to 100,000 credits, which took me much longer to do than expected, as there is seldom a lot of people online, and also I got bored of the online game play rather quickly.
After that came a summer in London where I ended up borrowing games from my boss and another friend. By the end of the summer I had added the Assassins Creed 2 and Heavy Rain platinums to my list.
Once I got back from the summer break I signed up to LoveFilm and started renting any games that seemed to have an easily achievable platinum trophy.
My current trophy count is: 852 Bronze trophies, 249 Silver trophies, 78 Gold trophies, and 15 of the obsession fuelling platinum trophies.
The games I am currently working my way through are Prison Break, and Shrek Forever After.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
After Red Dead Redemption, I decided it was time to try and get all the trophies for MW2. I had already played the single player campaign all the way through, so I had all the story related trophies. I now needed to complete the campaign again on veteran, collect all the Intel, collect 69 stars in special ops and do all the miscellaneous trophies. The veteran campaign was not too hard and took me about two days to do. I then replayed the game again on the easiest setting just to get all the Intel and miscellaneous trophies. All that was left for me to do was get the 69 stars on special ops.
This is the part that took me the longest time, with some of the ops being really difficult and annoying to complete, obviously for the two player ones I needed the help of a friend. After a few days of playing he finally managed to get into the FPS game style, and so I decided to use his help by doing some of the really difficult ops as two players rather than alone, getting him to follow behind me and revive me in case something went wrong.
After about two weeks of playing and trying the special ops, I finally managed to get my first platinum trophy.

Red Dead Redemption
I got this game for christmas a few years back. I had done about 50% of the storyline, without really aiming for any of the trophies. Then my obsession with trophies kicked in and I decided that this game was going to be one of the first ones I would try to get all the trophies for. So I started going out of my way to accomplish the things that were needed for the trophies.
There were a few that took some real effort, such as the unnatural selection trophy, which requires you to kill every animal species in the game. Now normally I would not do this if I was just playing through the game like a normal person, but I was no longer a normal person, I was now a trophy collector, and that meant hours of riding around a rather substantial map, killing everything that moved, just in case it was one of the animals I was missing. This was also before the days that I realised you could find lists and locations for almost every game ever, online.
To this day I still do not have the platinum trophy for this game, and am just missing the three online trophies: Posse Up!, The Quick and Everyone Else..., how the West Was Won. I'm not sure why I haven't done them yet, I think I'm probably just to lazy to grind till level 50 in the multiplayer, although I think I might try it again if there is ever a double or triple XP weekend for the game.

The start of my hunt
Recently I got into a bit of a competition with a friend of mine to see who could get the most trophies on the PS3. I have beaten him, but have in the process become obsessed with getting as many as I can, no matter what. So I recently tried to look online for a list of all the easiest games to get trophies for and have been renting the games through lovefilm for the sole purpose of getting the trophies.
I've always wanted to start a blog, but could never find a subject that I was interested enough in, to actually make an effort to write about... until now.
