News Metal Gear Solid 4 Finally Gets Trophy Support
Absolutely unbelievable
For as long as Trophies have existed, fans have pleaded for an updated version of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. The slick stealth title launched months before the rewards system was patched into PS3, and subsequently never supported the digital trinkets. We’d actually given up hope on the game ever getting...
News PSN Trophies Tally to Remain Unchanged Despite XBOX Hike
Brrring
Microsoft’s decision to boost the maximum XBOX Live Arcade achievement tally from 200 points to 400 points creates an interesting dilemma for multiplatform releases.

News Trophy Hunting Extraordinaire Reaches PSN Trophy Level 50
We thought we were doing well with our Level 21 PlayStation Network account
Since 2008 we've accrued over 4,400 trophies, but that's nothing compared to trophy hunting extraordinaire Hakoom's eye-watering 13,605 trophy tally. Hakoom has scored more than 250 Platinum trophies in his pursuit for Trophy Level 50, which we have to imagine has become a...
News Boo: No Trophies For PSP Remasters Series
According to a report on Siliconera, trophy buffs should not expect digital trinkets for playing through remastered PSP titles on PS3
Trophy support was always unlikely, with the PSP Remaster Series supporting cross-compatible saves. Still, we imagine the decision's probably just lost Sony a good chunk of sales in the West. There is this mentality...

Feature Why Trophies Outdo Their Counterparts -- "Twiggy" The Push Square Opinionator
I hate it when people say "me too" in a derogatory fashion
That mentality doesn't make sense to me. The foundations of progress are built upon improvement - taking an idea and making it better. The best most recent example is PlayStation Move. The Wii has proved itself a solid but under-utilised control mechanism, so it pains me to see an improved...

What's wrong with the XMB? Honestly - not a lot
It's an amazing (and award winning) interface. But it could be improved. YouTube user "tubescorch" thinks he knows how. So he's implemented his redesign thoughts in the handy embedded video. The result — hopefully a phone-call from Sony. A more indepth profile card is something we've been...
