Some unfortunate news to begin with: the DLC for Pain which was expected today is now delayed by a week. The tardiness of the update should be resolved on Sep 11th when it goes up on the store. Before the wailing and nashing of teeth ensues, there is a good reason for the delay.

Remember those trophies the Pain team announced a while ago? You know the ones….double-entendre titled exercises in gaming extremity. So hard in fact were the trophies felt to be that the development team has been spending the wee hours refining the list so as to make them, you know, achievable.

I’m the first to admit that I suck at Pain. My lameness at this game is possibly akin to Captain’s PJ Monster skills. Trophies will certainly give me an incentive to go back and try it out again. Check out the list below for the new user-friendly trophies:
