The Guildmasters

Hi all,

I’ve added Burnout Paradise to my active games, yes I know this is not my genre at all but it is a fun game, it gives a pleasant break when you get frustrated with Crushing mode, lol. What’s cool about it is that my whole family also can own the game so we can play each other online or just have some fun wrecking cars, or you can drive sensibly, lots to do on this one and with all the download content I bought with it a couple of years ago, there is over 90 trophies, most easy which is also fun.

I’ve also upgraded my gamefly account to 3 at a time and have ordered Assassins Creed 3, yeah I know, it’s about time. I should have had this game the day of its release, but it didn’t happen, at least I will get to play it soon. I’ve also finished Uncharted: Among Thieves on hard mode so just have 1 and 2 to complete on crushing, and get the treasures. Should have these two platinumed in a few days (i hope).

I’m also going to attempt to get Bioshock Infinite the same day it releases so that I can be one of the first to make some videos of it, but that’s not until March, not too far away and I should be able to work it out so I do in fact get this one same day it releases.

Well that’s about it for now, let me know what you guys are playing at the moment.

Ok I know this game is already two years old but I only got this one a couple of days ago because after doing a search online for the game with the most ps3 trophies it turned out to be Burnout Paradise.

At less than $20 it’s not a bad buy, another break from the norm I know but a fun game and a mindless sort of pleasure out of racing and smashing into other cars, it’s pretty realistic and there are a ton of road “quests”, time trials, takedowns, marked man and many more.

You have to work your way up through the licenses, you start off a beginner and via racing, smashing and taking off ramps you gradually upgrade your license, this will be a good game when you’ve spent days on a really decent RPG and your stuck on something and need a break for a day or two before returning to it.

I am disappointed in a few things about this game, sure it’s cheap enough but if your trying to do what I was and get all trophies then it’s going to cost you more. I attempted to play online and even though it let me register I couldn’t actually race online unless I purchased the Big Surf Island, that’s another $12.99 then there are tons of different cars to purchase ranging from $1.99 up to $5.99 and other party packs at another $12.99, basically if you wanted everything in this game it would cost a small fortune. I’ve always been against high price download content and I understand it from a marketing point of view as well as additional income from an already established game but there comes a point where I just think that some companies are just completely taking advantage, that’s my own personal opinion and not everyone shares this and that’s ok.

I have found out that if you purchase just the Big Surf Island it is possible to still achieve all trophies but I haven’t confirmed this, I just wanted those to know who haven’t yet played this and wanted it for the trophies you won’t get them all without some extra cost, some won’t mind but for me it’s another downer.

With good points and bad points overall the gameplay is great, tons of quests and stuff to do, you can acquire 75 vehicles some of which are awesome and up to 4 bikes but that’s it unless you purchase, there are cop cars, legend cars etc..There are 5 people in my household which play games and all 5 of us ranging over 3 generations enjoyed playing this one so that’s something.

I wouldn’t have played this game if it hadn’t initially been for the amount of trophies I saw listed, about 98 I think and it came pretty quick in the mail instead of Borderlands which I was expecting, i’m glad I had the chance to play it though, it’s great fun.
