To quote: 5 more days till Starhawk drops in-stores!

As you can imagine we are pretty excited in the office that everyone will get to finally experience the GLORY that we call the POD KILL. "What's a POD KILL?" you ask? Well let me demonstrate..

The POD KILL, is one of many inventive ways to take out your enemy in Starhawk. Even if you have been playing shooters for years, you'll be surprised at how many new ways you can be take out your enemy (and get completed served as well). And the fun is when you find a new way to kill, you can name it!

Whether you call it THE HEADS UP, THE MANCAKE, or THE PROPERTY DAMAGE, you haven't lived until you have dropped a building on someone's head.

(We also like to call that getting "Dorothy'd") With that in mind, it's time to plan your path to PLATINUM with the full, official PSN Trophies list, and some tips to get them.

• If you're feeling confident, all the Campaign-completion trophies can be acquired in one Mercenary-difficulty playthrough (Have you not seen the Campaign yet? Take a sneak peek here!)

• Skill-kill trophies such as "Hat Trick" or "Armed and Dangerous" are often easier to unlock in Single player or in Co-op mode.

• "Curious Builder" is easier to unlock on smaller Build & Battle multiplayer loadouts like "Lone Wolf" or "Air Superiority".

• There are a couple of tactics available to more easily unlock trophies like "Team Leader" or "Lone Wolf"; first, play in smaller player limit games with a lower score limit; second, a bunker is a good safe spot once you've already achieved the top score.

• For a good sniper, or anyone trying to unlock the "Deadeye" trophy, observation is crucial. Watch for vulnerable moments, like when a player is acquiring a Vulture Jetpack, to strike.

• Sometimes enemies will use their vehicle as a R-Sec Proximity charge delivery-device; this is an effective tactic, but it can be turned on them with a well-placed shot! This will also net the user the "Minor Miscalculation" trophy.

• If you want the CTF (Capture the Flag) and Zones veteran trophies, don't forget those objectives! Kills only score in TDM (Team Death Match) or DM (Death Match).

• Apex Warriors are easily stopped by dropping B&B structures on them; which will also unlock the "Mancake" trophy.

• The "Saboteur" trophy is easiest to unlock by focusing on weakened or distracted enemy vehicles

• It's a risky game to play, but "Eagle Eye" is easy to achieve when an enemy hawk is attacking your tank.

• For trophies that require taking out a passenger of a vehicle, like "Mech my Day" or "Out of the Saddle", it can be easier to achieve with a Galloway Revolver at close range than with long range sniping.
