A couple of weeks ago, Capcom held a contest exclusively for press editors. We were given a task to figure out how to unlock a secret Unlockable item in the game. However, we're sad to report that we didn't manage to win the contest. However, now that someone won the contest, the secret is now out to the public.

Sorry, no trophies for 1942 or Bionic Commando

PS3 News from N4G | 1942: Joint Strike - PS3 Network

PS3 - 1942: Joint Strike - PS3 Network - Sorry, no trophies for 1942 or Bionic Commando

The upcoming 1942 and Bionic Commando PSN games are not going to support trophies, according to a statement by Capcom PR Manager Tim Ng. Many speculated after a recent PlayStation.Blog post that the upcoming downloadable Bionic Commando title would support PS3's Achievement-esque Trophy system. Considering how popular they are for Super Stardust HD, we really hoped Capcom would've been able to add these shiny accomplishments into their games. Perhaps they'll reconsider for future titles down the line.

PS3 - 3D Dot Game Heroes - Playstation Blog: 3D Dot Game Heroes Goes Retro on PS3 this May

Aram Jabbari writes:

"Many words and terms are frequently thrown around in relation to classic gaming: retro, old school, and so forth. Often, games will be referred to as throwbacks, praised for their ability to induce nostalgia and capture the magic of the golden era of gaming. But really, what does "retro," or any of those terms for that matter, really mean in reference to a game?
