Everyone who owns a current-gen system knows the feeling of playing a game and having just pulled off a spectacular feat or deed and a small chime activates and you are awarded with a token for your actions that really isn't worth squat except sheer satisfaction and bragging rights that you deserve virtual applause for being an astute gamer.
But does anyone recall when Content wasn't downloaded?
When you did something amazing within a game you were awarded with Content: New levels, Special costumes, Better weapons, Rare Items, Nude skins
You get the gist!
So what the Hell Happened?!?!
Besides a whole bunch of toadies in suits squeezing us for every penny in DLC!

The three games I've trophy whored myself out for are Motorstorm Pacific Rift, Killzone 2 and Resident Evil 5. Resident Evil 5 has by far THE most unlockable content I've seen in a game this gen. Six different skins, two different game modes, three graphics filters, a gazillian new weapons, I could go on and on. Motorstorm gives you a new Vehicle Pack, Artwork and Behind the scenes videos as you earn trophies and progress through the single player campaign. Every online rank that you unlock gives you a Trophy and another Vehicle Pack. Killzone 2's online mode has a cIass system that gives you new CIasses abilities as you rank up and then new abilities for all these cIasses as you perform specific feats and earn trophies.
In short, there are definitely games out there that reward you for earning trophies/achievements. You just have to stop playing mediocre games that don't offer any unlockables. ;)
