One of the reasons I bought my Playstation 3 was to play Final Fantasy XIII, I have been playing this game for the past 3 months (1-2 times a week of play only), and I finally got the Platinum Trophy (meaning all possible trophies for this FF13).
Two of the most difficult and time consuming trophies in this game were the Treasure Hunter Trophy (Held every weapon and accessory)and the L’Cie Paragon Trophy (Earned a 5-star ranking for all Cie’th Stone missions).
I am taking a break from playing for a while (maybe just an occasional Rockband) and will think what game I will play next, maybe GOW3!
I am a big fan of Star Wars and Star Wars Games, Force Unleashed I was a cool game but sometimes repetitive. I hope there are a lot of improvements on the 2nd Force Unleashed game, I can’t wait to play this game on my Playstation 3 (Although this video says for Xbox)

This is now available in most states in the US. Will this be available in our country soon?
Around September this year, 7-11 stores will start selling used games for $20 and below. 7-11 partnered with Game Trading Technologies, Inc. to sell used games in more than 3000 stores across the US.
Do you think this will become a hit if offered in the Philippines? (Imagine buying 1 slurpee and 1 used FF13 along with it which may cost less than P1K)
