The ultimate prize in PlayStation

Trophies can be brilliant. It’s not always the case, but a well designed set of digital trinkets can help you to reconsider the way you play, as well as encourage you to explore areas you’d previously ignore.

The Platinum trophy is the Holy Grail of PlayStation. It recognises that you’ve achieved everything a particular game has to offer, and rewards you with an elusive trophy more valuable than all of the rest.

According to a post published on the PlayStation Blog, Assassin’s Creed II is the most Platinum'd title in PlayStation 3 history. It’s followed closely by Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.

Senior social media manager, Jeff Rubenstein, noted that all of the games listed are critical and commercial successes. He also pointed out that none of the games featured any dreaded multiplayer trophies. We think he’s onto something.

The top ten most Platinumed PlayStation 3 titles to date are:

1. Assassin's Creed II
2. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
3. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
4. God of War III
5. Resident Evil 5
6. inFamous
7. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
8. God of War (GoW HD Collection)
9. Borderlands
10. Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus (The Sly Collection)
