Also of note is Uncharted's "Medals" system, which parallels Xbox Live Achievements in that it awards players points (1,000 in total) for doing cool stuff like killing 50 enemies in a row without dying. The difference is that earning these actually does something within the game, unlocking new cheats and extras as you gain them. And the cheats themselves can actually be pretty entertaining, ranging from alternate costumes for various characters to instantly accessible guns to a "Next Gen" filter, which turns everything brown and slathers lots of inappropriate bloom-lighting effects everywhere. To hell with eventually seeing useless trophies in Home - this is what we'd like to see PS3 games do more of.

Solid.
