Weekend Update

Afternoon folks,
Thought it would be a good time to update you on my week of gaming and it's been pretty much Hitman dedicated this week. As you know last week I clocked the Platinum trophy for Hitman Blood Money and was undecided on what to play next, well I stuck with the HD collection and picked Contracts for the next game.

It was one of my favourite games on my PC and I've still got in my collection somewhere but I forgot how hard some of the levels can be. Anyway I'm now starting my second play through which I'm hoping to get done by the end of the weekend and then just mop all the weapons as well, so fingers crossed for the Platinum trophy by tomorrow. A lot of people say you can do it with one play through and then mop up but my god you make it a lot harder for yourself doing it that way.

You have to beat the game on Professional then get Silent Assassin ratings on all the levels to get the bonus weapons for the collection trophies. That's hard enough but then you got to get the weapons on each level which usually means gun fighting off through the level so on Professional that's insane since NPC's have extra and deal a ton of damage.

I've gone with the first play through on Professional with the 5 Silent Assassins ratings so that nailed me six trophies since the difficulty trophies stack. Now my second run through is on normal and again all the way through getting Silent Assassin on every level then I can reselect the maps to pick up the missing weapons. A lot easier and overall probably not that much longer time wise as well.

After this game I'm probably going to work on Hitman 2 Silent Assassin but that will take me a lot longer since I've heard the difficulty trophies don't stack so you have to complete the game three times. Hoping to put some MMO time today at some point since I've not been on in the last week, Old Republic I've not touched in weeks and I'm not bothering to renew the subscription at this point since I'm just wasting money on it.

Anyway that's it for small update today and I'm going to head off to play some more games, I won't make a promise but I do want to get another post up later so check back to see but until then have a good one.

P.S. Just read that it looks like Activision will be announcing the next Call of Duty this week, looks like a Gamestop display instructions was posted up saying for the 1st May. Should be interesting to see what they say after that huge leak last with the box art.
