It’s not edible. Nor is it a microphone. This Ice Cream looking device is Sony’s latest Motion-sensitive Controller called The PlayStation Move and it’s going to amaze you. Releasing this Fall, the PlayStation Move will sell as either a standalone controller, bundled with the PlayStation Eye or with a PS3. No price yet…
Microsoft has released two more bundles for the Xbox 360. The first comes bundled with Forza 3 and Halo 3 ODST. Not a bad pair of games for someone who feels the seductive call of a 120 gigabyte hard drive or needs to replace a recently burnt out 360. The other is the new Final Fantasy XIII SKU that just hit stores alongside Square-Enix’s behemoth RPG earlier this week. The Forza 3/ODST pack represents the mid-range elite SKU and has a price-point of $299.99 USD. The Final Fantasy XIII bundle resides closer to the Super-Elite package, coming with an extra controller and going for a pricier $399.99 USD.
Just a word to the wise from everyone here at PerezStart.com: when buying a 360 ask for the list of different bundles they have in stock, unless of course you have an undying love for Kung-Fu Panda.
Thanks to the folks over at Activision for helping the economy with the great news that will bring FREE MW2 multiplayer Maps this month. Coming March 30th to Xbox LIVE, Infinity Ward and Activision present Modern Warfare 2: Stimulus Package. This is the first DLC currently announced. Amongst the rumored maps, Crash has been mentioned to be on the list of the Stimulus Package DLC. Behind MW2’s Terminal, Crash may be the 2nd best map in the Modern Warfare series. It was a great map for Team Deathmatches, Search and Destroy and Sabatoge. Snipers can pick people off from atop the chain link roof tops or rifleman can battle it out near the Helicopter Crash site near the center. And of course the broken down building where rocket launchers and grenades were constantly hitting.
Spring training is finally here and it’s time to strap up your batting gloves and pine tar your bats because it’s Baseball Season for MLB 2K10. In their 10th year, 2K Sports revamped their fielding system and improved on their pitching mechanics then they previously used in MLB 2K9 only keeping the “hold and gesture” for pitching accuracy and quality of pitches. Developed by Visual Concepts, a new hitting system called Total Control Hitting is used flicking the right analog stick. This means your swing controls become more timed than ever. For the first time, you’ll be able to create your own ball player in the “My Player” mode and groom yourself into a future first ballot Hall of Famer making your way up through your farm team of choice. The noticeable enhancements from MLB 2K 9 are great. But should you draft MLB2k 10 and let it try out for you?
We usually don’t flatter ourselves but in honor of the Donkey Kong hi-score record we will. Back in August, our retro writer, Gonzalo, predicted that Dr. Hank Chien will surpass the 1 million mark and eventually set the new record for Donkey Kong. Guess what, he did!
Dr. Chien surpassed the 1,050,200 Donkey Kong mark set by Billy Mitchell, with an unbelievable score of 1,061,700 in 2 hours and 35 minutes according to Twin Galaxies officials, ending the game on the famed kill screen.
The Perezstart.com staff first met Hank early in 2009 at a Richie Knucklez competition in Flemington, NJ. We remember seeing Hank playing on the Donkey Kong arcade machine wearing his medical scrubs. We then saw Hank again at the Richie Knucklez’s Invitational, and noticed something special brewing after he broke the 900k mark. Hank is a cool and calm customer, he has nerves of steel and exudes brilliance with every move that he makes.
Hank began practicing Donkey Kong on the MAME version and then invested in his own Donkey Kong arcade machine. The game of Donkey Kong requires impeccable hand eye- coordination and precision. It is only natural that the steady hands of a Plastic Surgeon could attain this phenomenal feat.
That’s right folks, the leading online game distribution service on the PC just got a lot more flexible. Valve software Steam and Source are heading to the Mac platform this April.

And best news of all, through “Steam Play” if you purchased the game through PC you’ll be able to play it on your Mac for FREE.
Does anyone see something wierd with the lineups in MLB 10 The Show? If not, you will if you study the Yankee lineup. Somehow “The Show” has Derek Jeter playing center field and Curtis Granderson playing short stop. Yes, they’re swapped. When I first saw this I thought I had done something wrong myself until a friend on the PSN had the same issue. Is that a sign from heaven telling us that Jeter will be with the Yankees but for a short time? Hmmm….. Think about it folks Bernie Williams, Johnny Damon, me…… Sorry wandered off to dream land. I personally think that The Show should fix that quick to avoid NY fans from going crazy over this very wrong doing. Although I did show off his range in Center Field with a couple of web gems.
Another glitch that is currently affecting PS3 owners is the lack of audio during online play. It seems the headset issue is an ongoing one, since most gamers can not communicate with their oppoenent. Very frustrating. MLB 10: The Show will push out an update today, March 8th, 2010, to update the rosters and possibly other fixes. We’ll post the updates later today.
Hopefully you all have kept your copies of Halo 3: ODST in tact as Halo: Reach’s May 3rd multiplayer beta is fast approaching. A trailer showcasing some of the awesomeness we’ll soon be experiencing in the beta has recently hit the net by way of one of the last places I’d expect: a Taiwanese gaming site.
In the video, you’ll see some new game modes, new attacks, and even a jet-pack or two. Only two more months until we all get to experience the next evolution in the Halo series. Two long, long months.
I’m sure many of you checked out our Heavy Rain review. I know I did. But this game is getting more controversial every day. We know Madison, one of the four playable characters undresses in her shower scene where she.. wait for it… gets nude! But more nakedness is hitting the news. Glitch? I say nay. Careful, nudity is just around this post…
Some fresh downloadable content from Gearbox Software is now available for everybody’s favourite cell-shaded sci-fi shooter, Borderlands. The Secret Armory of General Knoxx brags new enemies, bosses, missions, guns, and landscapes. As expected, the level cap has been bumped up, but by a very curious amount: 11, making the new cap level 61. There’s also a new vehicle that looks like some kind of ATV or Jeep. Personally, I just wrapped The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, and am sniffing around Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot, but considering the reviews I’ve read were less than stellar, I may just skip it and go right to Knoxx. The general consensus about this DLC so far is that it is the biggest and hardest to date.
Those who have maxed out their characters in Borderlands will be happy to pick up The Secret Armory of General Knoxx for the extra levels-worth of loot and gameplay – you can grab it from Steam for $9.99.
