Just wondering if anybody has plat'd a game before? I'm almost done it with Uncharted 3

I've only maxed out a game on XBL once......Twigg has like 80000 plus Gamerscore on the 360, so I imagine it looks similar to his trophy setup on PSN. He's probably done at least five.

EDIT: Mine was Assassin's Creed 2

Fallout 3 and L.A. Noire.

It seems most games have at least one trophy/achievement that is ridiculously difficult (for me) to get.

Wow Infamous 2? How did you get all those fucking blast shards?

Finding all of the blast shards in the first inFamous is wayyyy harder.

I'm currently at eight. When I play through Mass Effect 2 again in the near future, I'll have nine, and if anyone wants to do some BF3 co-op trophy whoring with me, I'll have ten. There are a couple of other games that I have that are close to platinum, but I just don't feel like going back through (like FFXIII).

I also brought out Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare for a couple games online yesterday and did surprisingly well. I know I talked with swarley about getting a night going where we played this, who else has a copy and would be down? Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday nights work the best for me, as I don't work night.

EDIT: Also want to add that I have it for the 360, but I can also try and find it for my PS3 but I don't have a headset.

Absolutely. I know Twiggles has it too.

Finally finished portal 2...........amazing!

I saw you played it on 360. Did you buy it or get it from Gamefly?

If it was the former I'm surprised you didn't get the PS3 version with the added Steam functionality.

 

[Twigg4075]

It's in SR3 as well.

Oh shit! So I'll be able to find all the sex dolls, photo ops and drug stashes? Sweet!

I would also like to add that I participated in an Open Forum Radio gaming night Tuesday with Killzone 3. So much fun. I forgot how much I enjoy that multiplayer.

Played the Asura's Wrath and Choplifter HD demoes.

AW is basically "QTE: The Game" with playable bits in between.

The crazy shit that goes down is worth one play of the demo; if nothing else than to fight on the fuckin' MOON.

Choplifter is 'fly here, pick up dudes, earn high scores, don't run out of gas."

Neither is worth asking price but Choplifter is the more fun of the two.

Yeah, I would really like to get Choplifter because I loved playing the Master System version back in the day. But that asking price is laughable.

I'm sure no one else here has it but the Survival Mode in Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon is a ton of fun. It;s hard as fuck though but it supports SIX players which I assume why.

Man...Dead Space 2 was fucking great. I have no earthly idea where they are going to go with the story bit if they keep up with the gameplay improvements I don't really care. Those that have played the DLC :is it worth it?

The DLC is only about an hour or two long, but it's also only $7. I enjoyed it. It does add a little backstory and open up some possibilities about the plot of the next installment in the series.

Choppers are fun.

Anyone have experience upgrading the HDD in their PS3?

I'm going to be buying a bigger hard drive and was hoping to find some affordable options.

I might just have to pick that up. 6 players could be fun as shit.

Finally finished the Back to the Future series. Definitely an enjoyable story, and it was nice to see Michael J. Fox lend his voice in the last episode. It'll be interesting to see if Telltale does a sequel.

If you have PS+, download it and give it a try while it's still free.
