Back in the year 2000, Nintendo published a title from Rare, developers of Goldeneye 007, that became the staple of FPS games from then on. Nowadays, an FPS game on console has become the norm, but back in 2000, the genre reigned supreme on PC. Goldeneye 007 was a very good first attempt, but it wasn’t until Perfect Dark’s release that we could see how fun an FPS could play on a console with its original and lengthy campaign, and insane amount of customization in its multiplayer mode.
After years of speculation, Perfect Dark has finally returned to this current generation of consoles on the Xbox LIVE Arcade. The question is: Can a game that was released 10 years ago still be fun? Read more…
It looks like one of the Xbox’s heavy hitters, Crackdown 2, has just received an official release date. July 6th is when you can expect to get back into Pacific City to assume the role of the Agent once again.
Along with today’s release date reveal, a new ViDoc titled ‘Fun with Friends’ was released focusing on how Crackdown 2 improves on the co-op from Crackdown to support 4-player co-op. Developer Ruffian Games promises a more seamless drop-in / drop-out multiplayer co-op experience. Aside from the improvements to co-op, Crackdown 2 will also support 16 player online multiplayer games across 3 different game modes: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, & Rocket Tag, which judging by the video looks like it plays similar to Halo’s ‘Oddball’.
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.
UPDATE: Through a podcast over at Major Nelson’s, the price was confirmed at 1200 Microsoft Points or $15. For that $15 players get five maps, three new ones and two remakes from COD4. The new maps are Bailout (overrun apartment complex, wide map), Salvage (snow-covered junkyard, it’s a smaller map), and Storm (raining, abandoned warehouses). The remakes are from Call of Duty 4: Crash (urban environment with crashed helicopter in the central square) and Overgrown (dry river running through a village).
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?
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.
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.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is getting ready to be released this Tuesday and you can be sure you’ll be facing some stiff competition online, thanks to EA offering a beta on PS3, Xbox 360, and PC.
One feller you might want to stay clear of next week is ‘AnXieTy BuRnS‘. Judging by the video above, he is one sniper whose crosshairs you don’t want anywhere near you. Although, I bet he’s just god awful when it comes to melee attacks.
