Plats are pretty easy to figure out but much harder to get. The Platinum Games page of this thread shows which games qualify as platinum:

Hover over the game pics and it will show you the name of the game. And there are columns indicating the high score of the game and how many people have the game, and how many people have the high score.
Plats for Retail/PC (10 pts), XBLA (8 points), WP7 (6 points), and Freebie (4 points) games are worth different amounts. You get full points when a game becomes platinum or you max the gamerscore fully. You get half points for raising a platinum score at 90% or higher of the total available gamerscore.
For a game to become a platinum it must have at least 5 owners in the league, must not be associated to a movie franchise, and must not be a licensed sports game. Also, no more than 33% of gamers owning the game can have the game completed (indicating it is easy to complete).
Platinums are a fruitful way to get points in the league. It is pretty easy to get some of the platinums, but others are very tough (I am waiting to see how long it takes eNamrah to dethrone or equal Recon1O1 in Dark Souls)....
