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.

Players on the PS3 will have to wait one full month due to negotiations with Microsoft and Activision that gave Xbox 360 players one exclusive month of the maps.  Sony PlayStaion owners will have to quietly sit back until April, when they’re scheduled Stimulus Package will arrive on the PSN.  Additionally, Xbox 360 Silver Live members will be able to try out Modern Warfare 2 through the “Multiplayer Unlock event” running from March 12-15.

Of course, since the PSN service is FREE for all members, the Stimulus Package will not require any additional prerequisites.

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?

Total Control Pitching. I’ve always questioned precise timed pitches.  The ones where you press a button to start your power meter then again for your release.  I applaud MLB 2K10 for creating this new style of pitching because it works.  It’s called Total Control Pitching (TCP).  Throwing a fastball this year is easier and fun.  Pulling your right analog stick down then flicking it up produces a fastball.  Pushing the analog stick to the right then moving it clockwise to the 9 o’clock position creating a “U” shape will throw a slider.  You get the picture, move the analog stick similar to how you throw it mimics that type of pitch.  You’ll find yourself in a pitching situation where you’ll need some baseball knowledge and when you get yourself out of 2nd and 3rd with two outs, you’ll breathe a sigh of relief.  But with rewards there are risks.  You won’t cross every pitch over the plate for a strike and that’s when TCP can become challenging.  If you do not move your analog stick in accordance with the pitch, the result is a wild pitch.  Throw enough of those and your pitcher will get rattled.  With Pitch analyzer you’ll be able to view your stick movements on a graphic and that should show you what you did wrong.  Another improvement is the Inside Edge scouting system that can help you decide what pitch and where against that batter gives you the advantage.  It can slow down the flow of the game, but it is helpful at times.  Remember, be sure to visit the mound to improve the pitchers performance and calm him down.  Just don’t visit him if you going for the $1 Million, it’s one of the rules.

Batting the cage. While I wasn’t a fan of MLB 2K10 hitting style, it was manageable with three types of swings.  Using the analog stick, flicking upwards produces the swing of the batter with a contact swing.  Power swings are performed by pulling your analog stick back and flicking it forward at the right time.  And last are the defensive swings moving the stick right or left.  Defensive swings just prolongs an at bat and it’s a bit annoying since it can fouled off almost any pitch.  I hope they fix this.  I did enjoy the batting assistance letting me know if I was too early or too late on a swing.  Good thing I didn’t hear “good cut” cause every knows that just means you swung and missed and now, embarrassed.  Directional hitting is also possible using the left analog stick.  Pull it to third with a movement to the left; hit it on the ground with a pull down on the left analog stick.

Graphics could be better. Graphically, MLB 2K 10 is better than 2K 9.  But it’s not quite there yet.  Jagged lines, empty spaces and hats not sitting correctly on heads all contribute to the OK graphics.  The stadiums were scaled correctly and were the best graphics ok MLB 2K10.  I visited both Fenway Park and Camden Yards last year and I was impressed with most of the accurate depictions in the game except the Gulf sign behind the green Monster was missing.  Advertising or lack there of most likely contributed to that.  Come on Gulf!  The facial expressions and excitements after a pitch were nice compliments.  The copy and paste crowd made for a visual nightmare.

Play with “My Player”. Want to know what it’s like to audition for an MLB Club?  MLB 2K 10’s newest feature “My Player” does just that.  I created two separate players; a Catcher and Pitcher and of course favored the Pitcher due to the fun factor of staying involved.  You first begin your stint in the Minors A, AA or AAA of the desired ball club you choose.  I selected to be random and it landed me in the Cubs farm system.  My first player, the catcher, was only called on when I selected “Sim to next appearance”.  Most of the time, it involved me batting while on offense for 3 or 4 at bats or catching a pop out in foul territory behind the plate.  As a Pitcher, you get to experience all the fun.  I chose the role of Closer to experience the tight jams over the calmness of starting a game.  Challenges will be addressed before every batter you face, and they vary from “Get a first pitch strike” to “Get a groundout”.  I failed several times after I induced a double play on the first pitch which to me is a first pitch strike.  Your goal is to make it to the Majors and I found that after several successful appearances my MLB call up meter increase and changed from red to blue.  After the first season I was called to Spring Training and made the club.  I maintained an ERA of 1.79 but had a high WHIP of 1.75 with 36 strikeouts.

MLB Today = Live Play. Playing today’s match ups is now possible thanks to MLB Today.  Upon starting the game you’ll see the list of games that are slotted for play today.  I couldn’t figure out out to advance the day to the next, but I don’t think that’s possible.  Which brings me to the MLB 2K 10 menu.  The cumbersome navigation to view game type, options, or even play Home Run Derby games is not fluent.  Same when trying to exit a game.  They tried too hard by offering the right analog stick as a convenience, but it surely backfired and made looking for things more difficult.

Online Play. At the time of this review, many have complained of the inaccessibility of online play.  I was able to login and search for an opponent but did not play a full game to notice any glitching.  As a matter of fact, I did not see a problem with the innings I did play.

Comparisons to MLB 10 The Show. See here how MLB 2K 10 matched up against MLB 10 The Show in our Pros / Cons.

Game commentary – adv. MLB 2K 10 – Gary Thorne, Steve Phillips and John Kruk fill up the booth for MLB 2K 10 MLB games.  They give accurate and detailed play-by-play calls and keep the game entertaining to listen to.

Graphics – adv. MLB 10 The Show – I’ve mentioned the OK graphics that needs a bit more cleaning up and polishing compared to The Show. Jagged lines for infield grass or waves of people in the stand means MLB 2K 10 still needs work.

Pitching – adv. MLB 2K 10 – By far, Total Control Pitching dominates over The Shows “sweet spot” pitching.  Pitches that resemble the arm movement add to the realism and fun factor.

Batting – adv. MLB 10 The Show – Total Control Hitting (default) was not my hitting preference.  Much easier to time a pitch pressing a button (precision) than flicking the analog stick.

Crowd/atmosphere – adv. MLB 10 The Show – Sounds of the game have to go to The Show.  Realistic enough that when hitting a foul ball, some fans will even fall into the field trying to get themselves a souvenier.

Menu navigation – adv. MLB 10 The Show – The simple things in life are easier and MLB 2K 10’s right stick menu navigator is a deterant.  Not only did I forget where things were, but I found myself stuck not knowing to hit “return” or “exit”.

RTTS or My Player – slight adv. “My Player”. In My Player, your goals are relevant to your player’s position.  For example, if you’re a pitcher you’re asked to maintain an ERA below 4.50 and WHIP below 1.50.  In RTTS you’re asked to improve your hitting, drag bunting etc. Making some goals unattainable complex.

Keyboard typing – push – MLB 2K10 and MLB 10 The Show both disapointed me when it came to typing.  On the PS3, MLB 2K 10 does not use the classic PS3 keyboard and does not use a Qwerty keypad.  MLB 10 The Show also decided to use their proprietary keyboard which prolonged typing.  Both should feature their respective console’s keyboard.

Final Thought: Playing MLB 2K 10 before MLB 10 The Show allowed me to play all the features that MLB 09 The Show boasted last year and were used in this game including “My Player”.  Total Control Pitching alone makes this game stand out and propels MLB 2K 10 into the right direction for the baseball game genre.  Some in game decision glitches and visual blunders still keep this game far from perfect.  It’s a good baseball game for those who like baseball games and know baseball. For 360 fans it’s a must buy.  For PS3 fans it’s a good comparison game to compliment MLB 10 The Show.

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.

When I think of Aliens vs. Predator, I think of a battle between two alien species who are on completely different sides of the spectrum.  On one hand, you have the Aliens, with their unmatched superiority in numbers, speed, and ferocity.  On the other hand, Predators are the perfect assassin.  They can camouflage themselves while using various vision modes in order to pick out their opponent from its surroundings.  It seems like no matter what, they always seem to be pitted against one another, and it usually makes for an entertaining experience.

Aliens vs Predator allows you to play as one of three species: Marines, Aliens, or Predators.  Each species’ single-player campaign revolves around the same story, but told through a different perspective with each species having their own mission to complete.  The 3 species have their pros and cons in terms of how they control, their abilities, and their mobility through the game world.  Marines rely heavily on different arms that can be picked up throughout their campaign and sonar to track movement in dark areas, Aliens use the darkness to their advantage to sneak up on unsuspecting enemies, and Predators have the ability to use camouflage and a variety of lethal weapons.

Each species definitely has their shortcomings as well, such as the Marine’s flashlight being too weak when navigating through dark spaces, or how easily disoriented the player can become when navigating across walls and ceilings as an Alien, and this is where the game’s single-player campaign can get hard to handle when playing each campaign separately.  I understand their shortcomings were necessary to keep each species balanced, but continually trying to adapt to each species can be frustrating.  Upon finishing a chapter, Aliens Vs. Predator allows you to change to another species’ campaign, but I found this feature made the overall story harder to keep track of.

Both the Marines & Predator campaigns offered a good variety of missions and delivered a story I’m sure Aliens vs Predator faithfuls would understand, but the Aliens campaign felt like a complete waste of time.  Its mission structure was, for the most part, go to point ‘x’, kill everyone in point ‘x’, rinse, repeat.  Granted, the Aliens campaign is shorter than the other two, but going through 6 chapters of this same kind of mission structure can get old very quick.

To be fair, there are some good moments during Aliens vs Predator. The brutality of the Aliens & Predator kills are some of the most gruesome I’ve seen in a game.  Heads are ripped off, bodies impaled, and spines removed all with very little effort and remorse.  What made it more brutal was seeing your enemy’s face up-close during these gruesome acts.  Needless to say, they didn’t look too happy during these moments.  Graphically, Aliens vs. Predator doesn’t disappoint either as character models are very well detailed and its dark environments keeps players on their toes, especially during the Marine campaign as their vision is greatly limited in comparison to the Aliens’ & Predators’.

Aliens vs Predator’s multiplayer seems to make more sense than what I experienced in the single-player campaign.  In fact, it almost feels like the only real reason a single-player mode was even included was to help players learn the intricacies of each species in order to compete online.  The multiplayer mode allows you to play as either of the 3 species in multiple deathmatch modes, which makes things interesting due to neither one of the 3 species were more powerful than the other.  Things get more interesting when it’s a team based multiplayer mode as having a team of at least one of the 3 species working together can make things quite challenging for the opposing team.

FINAL THOUGHT: Aliens vs. Predator will not satisfy fans of the FPS genre.  The single-player campaign does not tell an engaging story and each species’ shortcomings doesn’t make this game particularly enjoyable to play through. The multiplayer has some fun moments, especially when the 3 species are working together, but it isn’t enough to deem this a title I would recommend.

While it may seem that Bioshock 2’s multiplayer was quickly tacked on so that 2K Marin wouldn’t have to endure gamers’ gripes about another single-player only Bioshock game, it really delivers. In a time when multiplayer modes are often an afterthought, Bioshock 2’s multiplayer is a great addition to the game and truly is a worthwhile, stand-alone experience. 2K Marin really put extra effort into this, making it alone worth the price of admission.

Rather than simply throwing a set of the same old game types in, 2K Marin wisely attempts to connect the multiplayer to the rest of the Bioshock universe. Set one year before the original Bioshock, the multiplayer thrusts you into the mayhem of the Rapture civil war. Rather than allowing you to immediately jump into matches, the game sets the atmosphere by making you first go through its prologue. You wake up on the floor, after splicing up with an EVE Hypo. As you regain consciousness, Andrew Ryan, the founder of Rapture, gives an important announcement. He talks about rebuilding Rapture through collective effort, and gives a toast to the New Year’s celebration for 1959. Chaos erupts as the spliced-up denizens of the underwater city go on their murderous rampage. In the midst of this insanity, you receive different small objectives, similar to the single player campaign, to further the story of your multiplayer character. You then choose your character from a variety of strange splicers with different careers and start the multiplayer experience.

The multiplayer packs a unique experience combined with old favorites from the original Bioshock. Playing in key locations from the original Bioshock and using old favorites like the shotgun, pistol, machine gun, grenade launcher, and crossbow brings back fond memories of the Splicer genocide you once committed. In a great twist, you are also given a research camera similar to the one in the original campaign. This camera allows you take pictures for an added damage bonus against your online enemies. A simplified version of hacking also found its way into the multiplayer realm. You simply walk up and hold the action button to hack a turret or vending machine. The turret will unload onto any enemy that crosses its line of sight, letting off rounds of lead or homing rockets. The vending machines are where you refill you EVE and ammo, but if hacked by the opposing team they’ll eject a grenade and blow you away, all while laughing at your misfortune.

Isn’t that a great welcome to the Circus of Values?

Another unique twist to this multiplayer is the ability to use plasmids and gene tonics. While the gene tonics may seem similar to perks in Call of Duty, they have a much more potent effect on game play. Having the chance to gain a quicker research bonus or a faster bot hack can easily turn the game in your favor if you’re losing. Also, being able to choose between three tonics helps make your character load out a bit more diverse.

The most entertaining element is the plasmids. They are what set this multiplayer apart from all other competitive games. Having the ability to instantly disappear like the Houdini splicers or set a water trap near an objective and zap it with electricity makes for a very different play style. The game also brings back fan favorites such as Electro Bolt, Incinerate!, Winter Blast, and Telekinesis to bring some interesting combos. Everyone knows getting shot with a grenade launcher or noob tube in Call of Duty can get pretty annoying. By equipping Telekinesis, you can throw back the grenades with a simple flick of the wrist. The plasmids make for a ton of endless possibilities. Last but certainly not least are the multiplayer game types. Packed into this game are your standard Survival of the Fittest (free for all) and Civil War (team death match). For players who prefer more objective-type modes, this game is great for you. You have Turf War, similar to Call of Duty’s Domination, where two teams fight for the control of three key points. Then you have Capture the Sister, similar to an attack-and-defend game type. One team defends a little sister while the other team tries to take her and carry her to a select air vent to let her escape. After three rounds on each side, the team with the most scores wins. Lastly, there is ADAM Grab, in free for all and team variants. There, you must hold on to a little sister for a set amount of time in order to win the game. Across all the game modes, you are able to pick up a Big Daddy suit and transform into the Rosie, giving you access to the rivet gun, proximity mines, and a vicious stomp, as well as much more health.

Overall, Bioshock 2’s multiplayer is an experience that can be enjoyed by everyone. If you are new to the Bioshock series or a grizzled veteran of Rapture’s worst, the multiplayer will feel like a unique and noteworthy experience. From classic game play to new environments and weapons you’ll feel as if you’re part of the action. This is, without a doubt, one of the best games of 2010.

Sony’s PSN series of The Tester has been live since February 18th and I can’t believe I missed this piece of internet gold.

This video screams “obnoxious” and the fact that Luger is a 3 doesn’t help her cause.

I must admit, when a BioShock sequel was announced I had my doubts. I thought “how can they take such an unbelievably beautiful design and masterfully written storyline and make it better? What can 2K do to one-up themselves with the city known to fans as ‘Rapture’?” Well, kiddies, I give you BioShock 2. Big Daddies and Little Sisters return, amongst new and old friends and foes, to welcome you back to the city below the Atlantic.

What made this game so amazing? Well let’s start with the fact that you are no longer just a man. You are a Big Daddy! How bad-ass is that? Known only as Subject Delta, and thought to be dead, you return and begin your search for the Little Sister that was bonded to you ten years earlier. This particular little sister is immensely important to Rapture as she is being bred to be a “Utopian” or “the People’s Daughter,” somewhat based on Fontaine’s creation. Her name is Eleanor Lamb, biological daughter of Dr. Sofia Lamb, who just so happens to be the games primary antagonist. DUN DUN DUN!!! Ten years ago, Sofia orchestrated the abduction of Eleanor. During the event, Delta was hypnotized and forced to kill himself by removing his helmet and shooting himself with a pistol. Sofia took control of Rapture and all that is within after Andrew Ryan was murdered.

As a Big Daddy, your weapons arsenal is somewhat limited, yet oh-so powerful. You start out with a drill similar to the Bouncers of BioShock. The drill takes the place of the wrench as the players’ primary melee weapon. Used to drill into enemies, as well as bludgeon and charge into them, it makes taking out average splicers a cinch. The charge was particularly my favorite move and my first “HOLY CRAP” moment of the game. Later obtained is the Rivet Gun like the Rosie’s weapon in BioShock. A double barrel shotgun takes the place of the original, and when you upgrade it to the cut-off model it packs a punch when paired with the right ammo. A spear gun replaces the crossbow, and the grenade launcher returns as simply the Launcher. A hack tool is added with the ability to hack turrets, cameras, and safes from a distance using various darts found throughout the game. Of course the machine gun returns in Gatling gun form, and to round it out is the research camera. Each weapon has its own special ammo just like the original BioShock and all weapons can be used to melee if need be.

What can be more of a pain in the neck as a fight with a Big Daddy? I mean their relentless barrage of melee and projectile attacks can be one of the most frustrating things in Rapture… That is until you meet a Big Sister. With similar armor to that of a Big daddy and the stature of a super model, they are faster and much more agile. One you collect all three little sisters in each part of Rapture, you are warned that Big Sister is on her way and you have very limited time to prepare for her onslaught. And judging by the shrieks you hear when she’s coming for you, she is NOT happy.

Splicers are still the main enemies found throughout Rapture. The ADAM addicts will stop at nothing to get it, or to put you six feet under at the command of Sofia Lamb. Leadhead, Thuggish, Houdini and Spider Splicers are all back, but BioShock 2 introduces the behemoth, Brute splicers. Said to be the result of splicing dregs of Sports Boost and Armored Shell gene tonics, and having absorbed more ADAM than average splicers, they have an abnormal size and musculature, and are seemingly unstoppable. Think “Big Daddy Splicer” who can jump up and down to where ever you are. I found myself screaming “WHY WONT YOU DIE?!?” when faced with the Brutes. Yea, they are THAT tough until you find the right combination of weapons and plasmids. Running from these monsters is futile as they are no only faster than you, but they will chase you where ever you run. You have no choice BUT to fight back.

Speaking of plasmids, all your favorites from Electro Bolt and Incinerate! to Decoy and Telekinesis return with the ability to upgrade, and added is the Scout plasmid which give you the ability to throw a ghost-like version of yourself into distant battles with the capability to use plasmids to attack for a limited time. And towards the end of the game, you can even summon a Big Sister to assist you in battle. NICE!

Instead of defeating a Big daddy and rescuing or harvesting a little sister, you are given a choice to adopt her and use her to draw ADAM out of certain dead splicers. This act is called a gathering, and trust me, they are not an easy feet to accomplish at first. Once the little sister begins extracting ADAM from the body, hordes of splicers begin to attack and they keep coming until she’s finished. Each little sister can gather twice and then you bring her to a port where you are once again given the option to rescue or harvest her for more ADAM.

In all, I’d have to say that 2k scored big with BioShock 2. I believe they took a chance with great concept and made it better. While I do wish that the story was longer, I felt that the sequel was on par with the original. If you haven’t played the original BioShock, then I’d strongly suggest you do. It’s an experience unlike any other.
