Red Dead Redemption (PS3) Multiplayer Trophy Guide

Posted by guardian_owl, 04 January 2016 - - - - - - · 5857 views

I normally just do reviews on this channel but since I took the time to do a long post with these Red Dead Redemption Multiplayer trophy tips I figured it would be a good idea to archive it. Also some of the tips given in older trophy guides no longer work. All of these work as of the date of this article.

It began as a short flash game for an April Fools prank, but when it soared in popularity the developer decided to create a full version of the game.

Condemned 2: Bloodshot (PS3) Review Yet another early PS3 game is up for review, Condemned 2: Bloodshot released in the US in March of 2008. It is not available on PSN and thus can only be played via disc. It is the sequel to the Xbox 360 exclusive, Condemned: Criminal Origins, which I have never played since I don't own that system.

Heavenly Sword (PS3) Review + Tip

Heavenly Sword, PS3, Review
Heavenly Sword (PS3) Review + Tip Heavenly Sword is an early Playstation 3 game, It was made in the time when developers were still enamored with quicktime events (there are a lot of them) and it features (thankfully optional) motion controls. The graphics are quite pretty even for a 7+ year old title but there are enough weaknesses in the core gameplay to detract from the experience.

Vanquish (PS3) Review + Tips The story of Vanquish is pretty generic sci-fi stuff. You are a hotshot DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) agent who is testing a new super suit when a massive, orbiting space station is taken control by Russian separatists and fires its main cannon destroying the city of San Francisco. They threaten to destroy New York City next once the c...

Assassin's Creed 1 Review - Jazz Edition

Assassins Creed, PS3, Review
Assassin's Creed 1 Review - Jazz Edition in 2014 I often typed my thoughts as I was playing the game. With a little bit of editing I have cut them into a series of reviews I am calling "Jazz Edition." The first of these is for Assassin's Creed 1 which I played to completion 4 years after beating Assassin's Creed 2. I was always hearing how much better AC2 was then AC1, which is the original reas...

Top (and Bottom) Played of 2014

Posted by guardian_owl, 29 December 2014 - * * * - - · 1244 views

As this is CAG, I played very few new releases in 2014, mostly tackling games from my backlog released in years prior. These are the best and worst games I played substantially in 2014.

BEST:
1.) Vanquish - Other than a slightly annoying weapon upgrade system, everything else about this game in perfection. Rocket sliding around from cover to cover and e...

Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions (PS3) Review + Tips COMBAT
There are a lot of different air and ground combos which you execute by mixing square which is light attack and triangle which is strong attack. Though if going for platinum combo rank you are pretty much restricted to using triangle based combos (which do a lot of damage) most of the time, mixing in a few other combos only when necessary. Then the...

El Shaddai (PS3) Review + Tips El Shaddai is a bit of a weird one. It is loosely based on the apocryphal scriptures, the Books of Enoch. In this adaptation, seven Angels resented God asking them to bow down to a human (Enoch) and so they left Heaven for Earth and became Fallen Angels. The fallen angels passed on forbidden heavenly knowledge to humanity which quantum leaped human evolut...

Bloodrayne Betrayal Review + Tips Those reviewers scoring it down likely did that because Bloodrayne Betrayal is legit hard. That 20 review from Destructoid he gave up in chapter 13 at a certain spot. It was difficult, but it was right after a checkpoint so if you fail, you fail in 10 seconds and you're ready to try again immediately. The part he was stuck on was literally 30 seconds long...

Round 2: 10 helicopter bots, 2 yellow gorgies (fires a stronger laser than the red gorgies)...
