Introduction
Welcome to the first issue of 2025 and although January seems but a distant memory, I still need to get a handle on my PlayStation 3 plans for the year. I definitely need to up my Platinum Trophy count. I’d like to finish Ratchet & Clank 2, which I have started in the Trophy Hunter section, and then move onto Ratchet & Clank 3, which is the last of those games I need in order to have the Platinum in all of them. The other franchise I am close to finishing off is God of War and there are a couple of those on PlayStation 3 I need to finish too.
In this issue we do a bit of a dive into the first LittleBigPlanet and the Buzz quiz games. It was fun to revisit these and play them as a family also to get some extra perspectives on them.
We also cover the fantastic racing game Blur and the mech shooter Armored Core 4 in some short reviews.
It’s a double bill for Trophy Hunter this issue where I had an exhausting time trying to Platinum Ratchet & Clank 2. Whilst I love the game, it is quite hard and longer than I had thought. The second story is for Metal Gear Solid 2, a very challenging Platinum I achieved a few years ago.
To top it off we have another Top 10 list, this time my personal Top 10 games you can still only play on the PlayStation 3. It was surprising putting that list together just how many games are no longer exclusive to the PlayStation 3, but there are also a few key titles that just haven’t been ported yet.
As usual I hope you enjoy this issue and if you want to reach out and get involved please send a message to contact@playstation3forever.com.
