Check out the most satisfying platinum trophy hunts on PlayStation 3, as voted for by you. We asked you, the PlayStation Community, to tell us which games provided you with the most enjoyable platinum trophy hunts, along with some helpful hints for your fellow gamers on the trail. In future issues of Trophy Cabinet, we'll focus on one game at a time, so you can tell us about the particular challenges you encountered in more detail. We want you to think about inFamous 2 – tell us how you battled to grab that elusive platinum trophy by heading to community.eu.playstation.com.     In the meantime, here's what you came up with for the inaugural Trophy Cabinet. Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds "All the trophies in this game were quite easy to obtain, except one which challenged you to complete 320 missions! And you have to master long, complex combos. The only tips that I can offer are: be very patient, and practise on as many fighting games as you can, to get used to them." (solid_sammy, France) Grand Theft Auto IV "This is a really long and difficult challenge. To finally win the platinum trophy, you must be prepared to scour every inch of Liberty City in a really long campaign. Just put your head down and plough through it." (Dieuneo, France) EA SPORTS FIFA 11 "The best advice I can give you when trying to win a platinum trophy is to focus on one match at a time, and enjoy playing it. For the recent FIFA games, it's a great idea to be involved with the community at easportsfootball.com, so your friends can help you obtain trophies." (NunoVale, Portugal) Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 "The Mission mode is incredibly difficult. I'd recommend researching different approaches to completing it – and make sure your co-op partner is up to a high standard too. You need to be able to rely on each other." (Chrisdenimes, France) inFamous 2 "The best platinum trophy to obtain, for me, was the one awarded in inFamous 2. I think anyone can do it, thanks to some really imaginative, fun missions. You have to push yourself as Cole MacGrath." (InfiniteStates, United Kingdom) SingStar "Choose your favourite songs so that trying again and again remains fun. Play with your voice too – singing in other pitches can greatly improve your score!" (magmar126, Netherlands) The Saboteur "You just have to play this game right the way through and do one or two extra-curricular activities – side missions and exploration – and you get the platinum trophy. I'm of the opinion that more games should follow the lead of The Saboteur." (pl_splisbon, Portugal) Mirror's Edge "You need a lot of patience and perseverance with this one. Oh, and on YouTube you can find plenty of routes which give you quite a bit of extra time. This helps when you make a poor landing." (Lijpo, Netherlands) LittleBigPlanet 2 "Get some friends and have some fun in Create mode, then go and collect stickers together. All stickers have to be collected, so you sometimes need three players with you via PlayStation Network. Finally, you need to create a level that has been played 50 times by the LittleBigPlanet community, so you really want to go to town on your designs." (Twilight_Rico, Netherlands) Heavy Rain "Pay attention to how you play through the story, so you can get all the different endings after your second run-through. You need to be careful with the choices you make, otherwise it could cost you hours of effort." (MissSouthampton, United Kingdom) Need a little friendly advice about trophy hunting?
