In Pursuit of Platinum: Ain't Gonna Happen With Horizon Zero Dawn

In Pursuit of Platinum: Ain’t Gonna Happen With Horizon Zero Dawn

I absolutely loved Horizon Zero Dawn. I spent over 56 hours with the main game alone, and I’m currently working through the Frozen Wilds DLC. My adoration of the game should not be questioned.

In fact, I’m super close to obtaining that Platinum trophy. Current trophy count is only two trophies shy of getting it. But I’m not going to.

These last two trophies require completing all of the Hunting…

The Walkthrough by Doug Walsh Review

The Walkthrough by Doug Walsh Review

I’ve always enjoyed Doug Walsh‘s strategy guides. The first one I remember distinctly as his was the Crisis Core strategy guide. It’s only partially because I loved that game oh-so-very much. Then he kind of dropped off the strategy guide planet (if I followed him on other social media venues, I would have known where he went) for a couple of years and returned right before Prima Games announced…

In Pursuit of Platinum - Assassin's Creed Odyssey

In Pursuit of Platinum – Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

I grabbed the platinum like Theseus grabbed the Minotaur by the horns!

Not this past weekend, but the weekend before that, I finally finished Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. While I was at it, I secure the last couple of trophies for that Platinum. My final time after getting all of the trophies and completing every single side quest clocked in at 123 hours. And I’m still sad I’m done with the game.

What I've Been Playing - I'm Never Leaving Greece

What I’ve Been Playing – I’m Never Leaving Greece

*blows dust off of website*

Dang, I really let the place go, haven’t I? I didn’t mean to, except I probably did. I was getting so swamped with work at PlayStation Lifestyle, and then Prima Games went belly up. I didn’t think I would ever find time to come back to this site, even with Future Press and Piggyback still going strong. I was prepared to pack it all in, even though I have guides to…

Red Dead Redemption 2 Strategy Guide Review

Red Dead Redemption 2 Strategy Guide Review

I find it very fitting that what is most likely my last strategy guide review is a return to how I started helping Keri with Strategy Guide Reviews. That return is a full blown written review. CRAZINESS! Well, really it is because my wife and I recently moved and I have been so busy with house work that I haven’t had time to dig through the massive amount of boxes scattered about to try and find…

Unboxing the Assassin's Creed Odyssey Strategy Guide Platinum Edition

Unboxing the Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Strategy Guide Platinum Edition

When I preordered the Platinum Edition of the Assassin’s Creed Odysseystrategy guide, I had no idea that it wouldn’t release for nearly a month after the game. I can’t tell you how often I was tempted to buy the regular Collector’s Edition of the guide during this waiting period. I had to force myself to stop playing the game too, so I could at least use the guide while playing. You have no idea…

Mega Man 11 Strategy Guide Review

Mega Man 11 Strategy Guide Review

At long last, Mega Man is back on our consoles. Capcom, who’s never been one to turn down a buck, finally seized upon the groundbreaking concept of making a new adventure of the Blue Bomber, complete with HD visuals. I’m sure it had absolutely nothing to do with the runaway success of the Mighty No.9‘s Kickstarter making all of the money. *Cue the eye roll*

Luckily for Capcom, Inafune’s next…

Why Buy the Shadow of the Tomb Raider Collector’s Edition Strategy Guide?

Why Buy the Shadow of the Tomb Raider Collector’s Edition Strategy Guide?

Okay well, asking why buy the Shadow of the Tomb Raider Collector’s Edition is essentially the same thing as asking why buy the guide at all. According to Amazon and Prima Games, for that matter, the only edition available is the Official Collector’s Companion Tome.

A companion tome. Seriously? What’s up with the fancy names, Prima Games? Did you know if you search for “Tomb Raider guide” in…

God of War Strategy Guide Review

God of War Strategy Guide Review

BOY! Come over here and watch this review! If you have played the newest installment in the God of War franchise, you know exactly what I am referring to. Let’s just say that Kratos is about as nurturing a father figure as a Tony Montana on a bender. And while Kratos might not be willing to help guide his son into adulthood, at least Prima Games is willing to offer the rest of us a bit of aid.

Gaming Diary: Oh hey, I'm working on a game with a strategy guide!

Gaming Diary: Oh hey, I’m working on a game with a strategy guide!

*blows dust off website*

Testing, testing, is this thing still working? Has it really been SILENT here since April? Where did the time go? Everything just feels so silent. Not sure if it’s because we’ve been a little down on the strategy guide scene or what (Seriously, another strategy guide for Harvest Moon? Not Vampyr or Detroit: Become Human?), but I’ve been trying to turn the lull into…

In Pursuit of Platinum: I Achieved Another Double Platinum Weekend

In Pursuit of Platinum: I Achieved Another Double Platinum Weekend

Recently, I reviewed a point-and-click adventure and an otome visual novel for PlayStation Lifestyle, both of which had relatively easy Platinums to obtain. For Code Realize: ~Bouquet of Rainbows~ this achievement was far easier than the other, simply because with visual novels, you often only have to replay on speed dial and get the various endings. The Raven Remasteredwas a bit more of a…

Far Cry 5 Strategy Guide Review

Far Cry 5 Strategy Guide Review

2 years ago, to this very day, I came to you with my first ever video strategy guide review for Far Cry Primal. As if fate as somehow trying to tell me something, today I come baring my thoughts on Far Cry 5’s strategy guide. You gotta love it when a plan comes together.

Hopefully I’m a bit better at this than I was so many moons ago, because it appears that Prima Games has upped their Far Crygam…

Gaming Diary: Flowing with Flower

Gaming Diary: Flowing with Flower

I played Floweryears ago when it first released. It was my first real experience with the SIXAXIS controller, and I wasn’t much of a fan. However, I liked how soothing and calm the game was (until level 5, ya jerks) so I completed it. I think I scored two trophies, the two that are given to you after the first level, and I put it away, never to play again. However, it didn’t stop me from picking…

Where the $@%&! Have We Been?

*blows dust off of website*

Testing, testing, 1 2 3, is this thing on?

Oh hai everyone! We just flat out disappeared, didn’t we? Many apologies about that. It’s been a wild ride this spring, and Chris and I are barely hanging on by our fingernails. The short version of it is that responsibilities often suck. If you want the long version, read on.

Chris is in the middle of moving. In fact, he has…

MLB The Show 18 Review

MLB The Show 18 Review

The aroma of freshly cut grass and even fresher grilled brats set against the combined cacophony of street vendors and bellowing umpires can only mean one thing: Baseball is BACK! What better way to ring in a new season than to take a look at the only high heat sim that is worth a damn? At this point MLB The Showis pretty much the only name left in the game, unless you consider the proverbial…

Gaming Diary: Yep, I'm Just Pathetic. Pathetically Obsessed with Dragon Age

Gaming Diary: Yep, I’m Just Pathetic. Pathetically Obsessed with Dragon Age

Here it is, Spring Break, and no kids in sight thanks to the in-laws. Look at all this time I have to work on my stack of shame! I just finished one old game (Dragon Age Inquisition), so now it’s time to finish a newer game, such as Assassin’s Creed Origins or Wolfenstein II. In fact, with zero kids around, the latter may be the best to tackle.

But what am I doing instead? Playing Dragon Age…
