Game... On... Sale!
HITMAN in Bangkok + Bavarium Sea Heist action + Gamescom 2016 goodness!
Friday is off to as much of an awesome start as Thursday was (going back over Gamecom 2016 awesomeness). I have been having a (beach of a) ball... and I hope you are as well. Game reviews are still going on and... (phew) there are just so many games worthy of being reviewed. Taking the time to play and appreciate each one is the biggest challenge of all. (You might be thinking... "What's so hard about reviewing a video game, but i'll explain... just hold your mini horses.) Game reviews are sought so that gamers who want some great insight on what to invest in based on our 1st hand experience (minus the spoilers) have a better direction going into a purchase decision.
That said, hands down... games that we do recommend before the reviews are even finish are:
Check out some co-op survival gameplay below being played on the PS4!
HITMAN... which still has more locations coming our way (as seen below) for fans of stealth games with depth. Do not miss out on this game, they deliver enough variety in locations and objectives to give you various upon various options to complete the missions. I still want to set up some sort of back to back chain reaction to take out a target in spectacular fashion, I just have to do so without being seen... or just knock out a bunch of people to clear the way (but yeah, just something I want to do).
Just Cause 3's review is done... minus the DLC reviews. We recommend this game... because its an open world just waiting for you to dig in and explore as you progress on the adventure (when you want... how you want). Anyway, check out our review and stay tuned for the complete review of all 3 installments of the expansion pass. A trailer of the final DLC adventure from the Air, Land & SEA Expansion Pass can be seen below!
When it comes to Gamescom 2016 there are a lot of games that I want to get my hands on (some coverage is merely a reminder of some of the cool games that deserve to be wish-listed). I want to multiply myself and then come back together after enjoy multiple titles to have the father of all nerdgasms.
One of the games that would be on that list would be No Man's Sky... but (but) I don't know, I want to see more out of this beautiful game in the way of story beforehand. The team has the opportunity to deliver quest after quest when it comes to updates and... that's something that should be in the cards (if it isn't already) so that there is a reason to be... somewhere, even if you don't handle business right away.
Just a thought: What would be really cool is... if the developer teamed up with multiple game developers to feature various DLC adventures in the universe and... they can split whatever percentage of that DLC revenue with the developer for delivering more content. Different developers would bring different perspectives and it would probably make this game... sicker than sick (in theory).
Metal Gear Survive would be one of those games that i'd probably feel weird about playing considering Kojima is no longer heading the franchise, but... i'd play it... keeping a watchful eye on the depth of the story and overall gameplay. I can't and will not forget about Deus Ex Mankind Divided... because that is a must play for me and I wouldn't mind getting my hands on Fifa 17 to see what the new updates are. I didn't go into Gamecom 2016 with any expectations at all... but i'm liking what i'm seeing for the most part.
Yooka-Laylee, World of Final Fantasy & Pokemon Moon are Yang's picks.
Deus Ex Mankind Divided, Resident Evil 7 & Zelda (Nintendo NX version) are RkRk's picks.

Greetings... Agent. Don't be alarmed, I merely intercepted the signal to your earpiece to say that I've heard about your next mission... in Bangkok. If you make it alive, bring me back a souvenir. :p This mission is likely going to increase the challenge of taking out your target(s) which include a rock star and his family funded lawyer. I've taken the liberty of listing some of the rocker's work below:
Square-Enix: With all-new opportunities and disguises, plus over 65 different challenges unlocking new gear, weapons, and items, Episode 4: Bangkok is not to be missed.
HITMAN began with a Prologue and Paris location in March, continued with Episode 2: Sapienza in April, Episode 3: Marrakesh in May, the Summer Bonus Episode in July and Episode 4: Bangkok in August. Next will be the United States before the season finale in Japan later in 2016.

Just Cause 3's next DLC adventure is here... and believe me when I say that I look forward to this adventure a bit more than the mech adventure. Why? I'll explain in the review.
Here's what you can expect in the Bavarium Sea Heist adventure:
- Liberate the Medici coastal waters of Scolio, home to Eden Research stations and the mysterious “Stingray” base.
- Drive the deadly rocket boat “Loochador”, using its multi-lock missile launchers and miniguns to defeat the formidable Black Hand Fleet.
- Infiltrate the Stingray base to steal the deadly “Eden Spark” lightning gun and unleash elemental death on your enemies in all new storyline and missions.
- Power up the Eden Spark further with mods earned in the “Boat Invader” challenge.
The BAVARIUM SEA HEIST content pack is priced at $5.99 and the entire AIR, LAND & SEA Expansion Pass is available for $24.99.

Time for Rico to reach the high seas!
Just Cause 3's Sea... action has just been upgraded with the Bavarium Sea Heist. I won't get into full details about it at this time because we still have to review it, but on that note, it's now available. The Air, Land & Sea Expansion pass holders can just download it, while those of you who want to get out and... test the waters can download it for $5.99 / €5.99 / £4.99. On that note... check out the trailer below and see if it's something that tickles your fancy. Game on!
- Liberate the Medici coastal waters of Scolio, home to Eden Research stations and the mysterious “Stingray” base.
- Drive the deadly rocket boat “Loochador”, using its multi-lock missile launchers and mini-guns to defeat the formidable Black Hand Fleet.
- Infiltrate the Stingray base to steal the deadly “Eden Spark” lightning gun and unleash elemental death on your enemies in all new story-line and missions.
- Power up the Eden Spark further with mods earned in the “Boat Invader” challenge.
You know something... if the development team created an option for creative people (such as us) to make scenes in the world of Just Cause 3, something amazing could come of it (organically). I'd love to see what people come up, there are plenty of main NPC, basic NPC and ofcourse... Rico.

We are going to be swooping into the world of BATMAN as told through the story crafting pro's at TellTale games. We look forward to reviewing this title as soon as humanly possibly and... we also are pushing a little something AWESOME... closer to launch. We've provided a question to our contact at TellTale to see if they've ever considered giving us the option of a VR view in games such as BATMAN... and The Walking Dead. I really think that they'd be able to take the cool to the next level because the depth (if you have the VR headset & compatible hardware) would go beyond a 10... in my opinion.
