The game many are calling “Epic” is finally here. God of War III is the last piece to the trilogy featuring ex-Spartan Kratos against… everyone else. Greek Gods and Titans will have to face his Blades of Exile bounded by chains to his arms and dripping with blood. The opening cinematics preview flashbacks of Kratos’ previous adventures in God of War I and II. The suffering he’s gone through, the chaos he has caused but most importantly the revenge he seeks is what keeps this warrior alive. Given the name Ghost of Sparta and eventually dethroning Ares as the new God of War has not been a peaceful journey for Kratos. You’ll battle Titans, go face to face with Greek Gods with plenty of blood to go around. God of War III, developed by Santa Monica Studios concludes the trilogy with our hero Kratos, the new God of War, seeking what he fights for most, vengeance! Will he (and Santa Monica Studios) earn the term, Epic?
PS3 owners, get your kart engines ready! Sony has announced the official release date for ModNation Racers: May 25th. In ModNation Racers, players are able to create their own Kart racer, vehicle, and even tracks which they can share with other PSN users.

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.
That is, until the epic battle between Aliens & Predator made its way to the Xbox 360, PS3, & PC.
Heavy Rain officially released this week on the PS3, and while we’re working tirelessly to publish our review, I thought this would be a great time to inform you that Heavy Rain will make you cry.
The Mega 64 crew were aware of this, and decided to show how one of their own succumbed to the depression that can occur from something assimple as brushing your teeth in Heavy Rain.
Earlier this month, SEGA revealed they are working on another Sonic game, this time focusing on Sonic’s classic gameplay elements that we all grew up loving. Even though it seems this will be the definitive Sonic game fans have been waiting years for, Sonic fans still can’t help but feel caution given how promising previous Sonic games looked, only to not live up to expectations.
It seems we could all breathe a little sigh of relief as the SEGA Community Manager ‘RubyEclipse’ revealed on the official SEGA forums the original Senior Level Designer for Sonic 3 is working on Sonic 4.
So, is it just Dimps? Just Sonic Team? The answer is a bit of both: Yes, Dimps is working on the game. But there’s actually more to it than just that: at the same time, we also have members of Sonic Team, including the original senior level designer from Sonic 3 & Knuckles on the SEGA Genesis working alongside them. It is most definitely a partnership, and the result of this teamwork is something many of us are excited for.
So it seems SEGA is putting all of their efforts into Sonic 4, which hopefully will be something beneficial for the gaming community as we’ve all become extremely jaded when it comes to new Sonic games. Although, it looks like Sonic 4 could finally break the streak of bad Sonic games if all goes according to plan.
Hey, you! Have you been on the fence on buying Darksiders, even though it’s currently sitting pretty with an average review score of 82? Well, you’re in luck as THQ has announced they’ll be offering a demo of Darksiders for both the PS3 & Xbox 360 next week.
The Darksiders demo will feature approx. 90 minutes of gameplay from the first dungeon in the game, the Twilight Cathedral. Expect a lot of hacking-n-slashing, puzzle solving, and War speaking in a mono tone, grumbly voice. David Adams, GM of Vigil Games, had the following to say in regards to offering this 90 minute taste of Darksiders.
“We are really pumped to be bringing a playable demo for Darksiders to Xbox 360 and PlayStation3. We really wanted to give gamers a true idea of the variety of gameplay that the game offers and so rather than just making a standard 20-minute demo version of the first few levels, we decided to give away this massive level and reveal the true essence of the game.”
So now you have no reason to NOT at least try Darksiders. It’s got everything a gamer wants out of a game. Puzzles, big swords, and cybernetic angels that shoot laser cannons.

The next-generation First Person Shooter, Massive Action Game or ‘MAG’ takes place in the year 2025 where a global war — The Shadow War — is in full swing. Three Corporations battle for the same concepts… resources and global dominance. Each network has their pros and cons and you’re asked to join one of them. But choose wisely because this will be the only corporation you can play for going forward. One character per PSN account. Stripped of a single-player campaign and only playable online, just how will this FPS and their “claim to fame” of 256 online multiplayer hold up?
SEGA officially announced the next sequel in the Sonic the Hedgehog series with Sonic the Hedgehog 4. The first trailer for the game was revealed on GameSpot last night and it’s very telling. Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is dropping the 2D sprite graphics for a more HD-friendly 3D look, but it looks like it will keep the gameplay elements that we all know and love.
The title is set to be released this summer on the Xbox LIVE Arcade, Playstation Network, and WiiWare as a downloadable title. ’Episode 1′ in the title leads us to believe SEGA has future DLC plans for Sonic the Hedgehog 4 for future episodes in the series.
In case you hadn’t noticed by the sidebars of PerezStart for the past couple of months, we have been patiently anticipating for the release of God of War III. During last year’s E3, Sony promised us a March 2010 release for the game, but I personally wouldn’t be happy until I could place an angry Kratos sticker on an exact date on my calendar. It looks like little angry Kratos finally has a spot on my calendar to sit on as Sony announced today March 16, 2010 will be when God of War III finally releases.
The questions isn’t whether anyone with a PS3 will pick up the game: The question is if you’ll pick up the standard version of the God of War III Ultimate Edition. For those of you who, like me, enjoy getting some extra goodies with your video game purchase, here’s a rundown of what to expect in the Ultimate Edition:
before the release date you’ll score a 6 pack of classic stadiums. In that stadium package you will receive…
