After
seeing the movie, it got me back into playing Batman: Arkham City. I have
already completed the story mode - but there is still a lot left in the game
before the platinum trophy can be obtained (completing all the challenges and
new game plus). This game is tough - it does require skills and a lot of time to
get the platinum trophy.
This is a gaming blog from an ordinary gamer who enjoys playing his PS3 and by no means an expert whatsoever. I look to share my experience of games I play and games to look forward to.

Dark Knight Rises and Batman: Arkham City
Went to watch the Dark Knight Rises today and the cinema was absolutely packed and deserved to be too. It was a brilliant film and I look forward to buying the steelbook trilogy. It is a shame to see Christopher Nolan saying farewell to the Batman franchise and he has definitely left it on a high note. The next director will have tough expectations place upon him, but I feel there is still a lot of scope for development. Villains such as Riddler and Penguin have yet to make an appearance and now Robin have been introduced, how will it add to the story?

Need for Speed
My first NFS game was Underground and has always has always been a NFS
fan. My need for speed has driven me to start playing a couple of older NFS
games (Undercover and Hot Pursuit). It was a good job I started with Undercover
as it was a disappointment when compared to Hot Pursuit. While I like the fact
Undercover had a storyline of sorts and some elements of gameplay, I preferred
Hot Pursuit for the thrill of using various weapons to take out cops and
racers.
Both games require quite extensive internet gameplay in order to achieve
the platinum trophy (will be even more difficult for Undercover as it is an
older game with fewer players). I have barely completed the story/ career mode,
so won't be getting the platinum trophies any time soon.
Given NFS: The Run didn't have such great reviews and was out when some
other great games were out, I decided to skip it and wait for the next instalment.
The next instalment in the NFS franchise is Most Wanted (2012), I wonder
whether it will be as good as the original Most Wanted that was launched
back in 2005? The below is a trailer for the new Most Wanted.

Platinum Trophy - Saints Row: The Third
This is my first platinum trophy and I must say how satisfying it
feels. This trophy took 4 weeks (45 hours of gameplay) to achieve. The game
overall was fun and didn't pose too difficult to complete apart from one of the
Cyber Blazing activities which I had to use the City Takeover (District)
upgrade in order to complete.
City Takeover (District) is an upgrade which completes all City Takeover gameplay for an entire Hood automatically. It is very useful when you get stuck on a particular activity and should be used very wisely as there are only 2 of these in the entire game.
Favourite basic weapon is the 45 Shepherd - cheap yet powerful. At level 4, it fires explosive rounds, really useful in early parts of the game. Favourite advanced weapon is the Annihilator RPG. At level 4, you will be able to use the targeting system to lock onto enemies. Remember to purchase the unlimited ammo upgrade!

Metallic Gold Controller
Today, I managed to get my hands on one of these limited
edition controllers. Despite some reviews saying it is ugly, the colour is
definitely different and I actually quite like it. Apart from the colour, there
isn’t much between this and the other ordinary controllers. Yet this will set
you back £39.99 which is about £15 more than the going price for a black
Dualshock 3 simply because they slapped the word “limited edition” on it.
