GTA Online: Further adventures in Finance & Felony Trailer

GTA Online has seen plenty of updates over the years but it's not always the case that Rockstar Games releases a trailer when new content is added.

So, when there's a trailer.. you do know that that will be a major update.. and this time, it's going to be huge!



Further adventures in Finance and Felony promises to be a huge update, where players can build their own criminal empire.

Check out the trailer..




My crew, Temasek Thugs will be checking out the new content and I'll be sure to post pics, vids and thoughts on the new content once it hits. Come back and check it out soon!

Mafia 3 Collector's Edition revealed!

Mafia 3 Collector's Edition has been revealed!

At USD$150, the Mafia 3 Collector's Edition will include:
- Two 180-Gram Vinyls, one will feature an assortment of greatest hits from the 1960s, including music from Otis Redding & Carla Thomas, Sam Cooke and The Animals - and the other will feature the game's soundtrack.
- Collectible Art Prints
- Art book
- Faux leather coasters
- Lincoln dog tags
- Game & Season pass

A cool Collector's Edition, with a nice theme to the collectibles but not my type of thing. 

Firstly, the vinyls will definitely be a waste as I won't be able to play them. Secondly, I love statues but there's no statue in this CE or any replica-type of collectible that I can put to display.

Just might be skipping this CE but will definitely be getting the game.

PlayAsia Weekly Sales - 31 May 2016 (Battleborn)

Wow! I heard that in the US, Battleborn's price dropped by $20 on Overwatch's release but this is one better!

Battleborn (English & Chinese Subs) <--- Click here to check it out (Affiliate Link)

PlayAsia just slashed their prices to US$17.99! (~SGD$25) That's crazy.. Really good deal though. If you plan to get it, do grab it fast. Their good deals tend to run out of stock fast.

I really did enjoy the Beta, just felt that I wouldn't have the time to fully enjoy this game but at this price.. this is worth a shot.

The rest of the week's deals..

Ghost Recon Wildlands: We are Ghost Trailer and Collector's Editions revealed

At E3 2015, 3 Tom Clancy games were shown.. But the one that stood out for me was Ghost Recon: Wildlands.

Always thought the Ghost Recon franchise was the coolest looking among the Tom Clancy games and in Wildlands, they are going up against South American drug cartels who have some of the sickest-looking criminals.

and here's the latest trailer..



Looks massive. Very different environments probably in different parts of the map. Also could there be a weather/season system in the game? 

There looks to be plenty of vehicles available to the player, which is cool. Might be able to take different approaches to the variety of missions available.

I'm just a little concerned, especially after hearing about all the issues that The Division is facing.

Ubisoft seems pretty confident that this will sell well, having announced several different special editions for the game.








All preorders will also include an exclusive mission - The Peruvian Connection

I always like to go big or none at all, so my eyes are definitely set on the Calavera Collector's Case and the Fallen Angel Edition for the statues. 

However, I'm trying to be a bit more restrictive on the purchases, so I want to be fully confident the game won't disappoint and more importantly not have major problems. Please don't disappoint!

The Assassin's Creed Movie Trailer

It's been a while.. yes.. But the trailer came out at the time I was heading to the hospital for my wife's pregnancy checkup and she gave birth to our 2nd one shortly after.. So... just didn't have the time to post it up.



But oh boy.. I watched the trailer so many times on my mobile that I just might have burned my data plan.. 

So, here it is once again, even though you must have watched it already.




I think it's amazing!

Except for the background music though.. I cringed when I first heard it.. Not what I expected but I think I have gotten used to it... Not accepted it, just got used to it.

The fight sequences look great, the Spanish Inquisition setting just looks beautiful and that Leap of Faith at the end. 
Oh and I'm curious to see what the Assassins will land in, from that height. In a movie, it's going to look hilarious if they land in a haystack.




Great easter egg at 00:39 of several Hidden Blades in a display.. Hmm.. but why does Abstergo have all these Hidden Blades in their collection? 

The Animus.. I'm still split about the Movie Animus. It does make sense, where the user of the Animus moves together with his historical counterpart and this is how Callum learns the moves of his ancestor, Aguilar. 

Still, it's a lot different from the games where the user lies down and goes into a 'sleep' mode while re-living his ancestor's memories.


Having watched the trailer and read all the news, it's hard not to be excited for the movie.

First trailer definitely looks great. Some movies have disappointed this year, but there's also some unexpected hits. I have full confidence that this movie will not be a flop and the hype for Dec 21 2016 is building..

More Mortal Kombat teases and reveals from PCS Collectibles!

Just last week, we saw the official announcement and reveal of 1/4 Klassic Cyrax..

In last night's PCS newsletter, fans were shown these images..





Ok.. that escalated quickly...

Standard and PCS EX Cyrax



PCS EX Sektor


PCS EX Smoke

Looking real good with LED features on the eyes and chests. My only complaint is about Sektor not being flipped the other way so that he can be displayed in a versus position to Cyrax.

PCS did it before.. with the Klassic Ninjas facing each other so was expecting to see a similar treatment for the Cyborgs so have to say I'm a little disappointed with the Cyborgs all facing the same direction.

However, the LED light up features will have to make up for the disappointment. I'm confident that it will look just as cool in person.

All versions will be up for pre-order on June 13 with the Standard Cyrax priced at USD$399.99 and the EX versions at USD$409.99 each. Up to 12% in discounts will be offered, depending on the Payment Plan options you choose.

My poor wallet..

Also shown in the PCS newsletter was the Mortal Kombat X 1/4 Scorpion in a more close-up look..

Just simply amazing.. Wonder when the variations will show up!

As for future MKX pieces, not to fear.. the line is going strong.. In my last PCS update, this is what the MKX future looked like..

"Sub-Zero and D'vorah have also been teased as WIPs but I'm not sure who the other 3 are. ShinnokErmacReptileKung LaoTakashi & Tremor are just some on my want list, so 3 is definitely not enough!"
Jerry just hinted what the 4th could be..

That's Tremor my friends.. Tremor!

This guy's a beast! It's going to be a long time from now but I'm already imagining him beside the rest of the Mortal Kombat X statues. Gonna be a big year for Mortal Kombat fans and I'm not talking just about PCS Collectibles..
