Trophies will be added to the Playstation 3 version of Mercenaries 2, but you won't get credit for the things you've already done. Time to restart the game. These trophies are are exactly the same as the Xbox 360 achievements, which is fair enough, since they're the same game (similarly, I've noticed that Midnight Club: Los Angeles seems to have identical PS3 trophies and 360 achievements).

If PS3 games keep up at this rate, That'll be one less reason to opt for the 360 version of a game. Now if there was some sort of identity or user profile based on trophies. In other words, when is Home coming out?

One of the cool things about achievements on the Xbox 360 is immediately pausing the game when you earn them to check where your friends stand. I do like Sony's approach to different colored trophies, but they don't fold neatly into an overarching gamerscore, which is a convenient indicator of who has no life (i.e. anyone with a higher gamerscore than me) and who sucks at gaming (i.e. anyone with a lower gamerscore than me).

You're almost there Sony. Keep going! Those of us with PS3s are rooting for you.
