 Space Gets More Terrifying As EA Announces Dead Space 2

EA officially announced recently the sequel to last year’s space horror title, Dead Space 2.  Dead Space 2 has us playing the role of Issac Clarke yet again and this time he’ll have a wider range of weapons to dismember any Necromporphs that comes his way.

“We’re thrilled to jump back into the series, making the next chapter in Isaac’s journey. The infection continues to spread throughout space and our hero Isaac Clarke is the only person able to contain it. There are still loads of necromorphs that need killing!” said Steve Papoutsis, Executive Producer of Dead Space 2. “In Dead Space 2, not everything is exactly as it seems. Expect plot twists that will surprise you and a huge cast of twisted, disgusting monsters that are sure to scare the daylights out of you.”

I absolutely loved Dead Space and I personally am excited to hear a sequel is being released.  The atmosphere and enemies in Dead Space always had me playing the game at the edge of my seat.

Undead Knights Review Main

We as humans have always had a fascination with the undead.  The undead have been discussed in books, danced in music videos, and murdered in video games on a regular basis.  In Tecmo’s Undead Knights, the undead take center stage.  This time, one of the main focuses is to create undead minions from sacrificing your enemies during battle.  Can raising the undead to fight for you really be that fun?

Video: Video Game Addict Loses Wife & Son Over His Addiction

August 16th, 2009 Daniel Perez 1 comment

Video Game Addiction

A recent video uploaded onto YouTube has raised concern on video games and those addicted to them.  YouTube user lukemorse1 recorded a video informing people that because of his addiction to gaming, his wife and son have left him.

According to lukemorse1’s YouTube channel profile, his collection seemed very complete ranging from older, classic consoles such as the Atari 2600, all the way up to the current generation.  He also uploaded gameplay footage of games running on their original systems, as well as life in Japan.

In his video, he claims the reason for his wife and son leaving him was due to the fact that he grossly neglected them while he spent his time with his hobby.  He also states the reason for him making his final video was to teach those of us who might be following his track to learn from his mistakes. Time management is key when it comes to video games. I personally would love to play video games all day and night, but I have other priorities that I know need to be taken care of before I can enjoy myself.

We here at PerezStart wish nothing but the best to lukemorse1. We also would like to acknowledge him for teaching the gaming community a valuable lesson: “People will always be around. Make sure you put a lot more priority on people than you do things, because in the end… I mean.. what do you have?  A bunch of stuff that doesn’t really mean anything.”

Assassin’s Creed PSP Details FINALLY Emerge; Gameplay Footage

July 16th, 2009 Daniel Perez No comments

Assassin's Creed PSP

Back in February, Sony said they would be making an Assassin’s Creed PSP bundle available later this year.  It looks like the details for the PSP pack finally emerged today.  Here’s what the bundle comes with:

  • White PSP-3000 system
  • Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines PSP game
  • UMD Movie (to be announced shortly!)
  • 2GB Memory Stick PRO Duo

With the PSPgo coming out around the same time, I’m curious to see how well this pack does against simply buying a PSPgo and Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines separately.

Make sure to check out some screens and a video of Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines after the break.

PSP Review: Rock Band Unplugged

July 4th, 2009 Daniel Perez 1 comment

Rock Band Unplugged Review Title

Harmonix is a developer that has been working on music games since the early 2000s.  Titles like Frequency and Amplitude weren’t as widely known as most other PS2 titles, but they paved the way for Harmonix’s more successful later titles which include the original Guitar Hero I & II, Rock Band, and their upcoming The Beatles: Rock Band.

Rock Band Unplugged is Harmonix’s fray into the handheld gaming market.  The art style, graphics, and tunes are reminiscent of a full fledged Rock Band game, but the concern of most gamers were how the controls would work on the PSP.  Do music-based games only succeed if you have a plastic guitar in your hand, or could they possibly work with a more traditional control scheme?
