So get to it and start taking down those terminators. Oh and it's limited to two copies, so you can buy one for a friend to join the fight against our biggest threat.

This time you're not limited to one copy but three, so buy you everyone in your family a copy or your car, I bet it transforms at night and wages war with other robots.

Weekly Special - Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 for Xbox 360

This week we have a great Xbox 360 special, which is a nice break from all the DS games. Now Real Time Strategy games have a tough time on the consoles, missing the keyboard and mouse and all, but Red Alert plays pretty well on the 360 and its a pretty darn fun RTS. It's always fun building a big army of troops and crushing the opposition and did I mention the B-grad live action movies inbetween? They're a whole lot of fun as well. It would be cool if more games used them.

"The desperate leadership of a doomed Soviet Union travels back in time to change history and restore the glory of Mother Russia. The time travel mission goes awry, creating an alternate timeline where technology has followed an entirely different evolution, a new superpower has been thrust on to the world stage, and World War III is raging. The Empire of the Rising Sun has risen in the East, making World War III a three-way struggle between the Soviets, the Allies, and the Empire with armies fielding wacky and wonderful weapons and technologies like Tesla coils, heavily armed War Blimps, teleportation, armored bears, intelligent dolphins, floating island fortresses, and transforming tanks.
Limited to three copies per customer, while stocks last...you know the drill."

Weekly Special - Shining Force Feather for Nintendo DS

There's been one Shining Force weekly special for the DS before and now here's another! Shining Force Feather is another RPG in the Shining Force series of games and as the wielders of the Shining Force, you'll be fighting hollows. Sounds a bit like Bleach eh?

It's a Japanese RPG and most likely has no english option, but as all DS games are region free, it will work on all systems. Only one copy per person and at the very big reduction of $33 to just $19.90, you're getting a real bargain so get in quick!
"The battles between the hollows and the wielders of the Shining Force were fierce eons back, however all power dissipates in the course of time, and soon the Shining Force is replaced by newer technology.

Although the wars between humans and hollows have ended, strife between countries never did. Within this chaos, treasure hunters reaped the benefits.

During an expedition in one of the Shining Force historical sites, the hero Jin unsealed the artificial life form Alfin from her sleep and gained her powers. Yet, he is not the only one, for the ambitious second prince of the empire has also awakened his own source of power.

To prevent the claws of evil sinking into the land, think strategically during battles and employ your forces wisely."

Weekly Special - Juushinden: Ultimate Beast Battlers for DS

Anyone else wanting a PSP special? Oh well, it's another Nintendo DS game special this week and it's quite a cool one ideed. Do you like card games? I do, I think some of them can be really fun to play (such as Magic: The Gathering) but cost a lot of money to buy all the cards and what not. Also finding people to play against and the time to actually finish a full game can be a problem. That's why card games work perfectly on handhelds, all those those factors are easily compensated for. With Juushinden: Ultimate Beast Battlers you'll take a half traditional and half digital approach to the card game. You'll recieve a deck of 40 cards to start with, which you place into the additional accessory included in the package and your card will be read and come to life on screen!

Note, it doesn't work on the DSi unfortunately, due to the missing GBA port and also, the game is in Japanese. Anyhow, this innovative game can be yours to own for the super low price of just $9.90, an astonishing saving of $55! Such a price reduction is unlikely to last very long, it's while stocks last and one per person, so grab it now!

"Think battle card games are over in this digital age? Think again.

Beast Battlers, the ultimate card action game is here. Slip the magic reader into the Nintendo DS and have it turn your 2D beast into breathing monster in your console. You don't have to take the beasts as they are, upgrade their power and other attributes through a power-up card. The bigger the deck you have, the better an edge you have over your opponents.

Each package comes with a pack of 40 cards and a battlefield card. Be sure to get to know other beast battlers to play in different battle fields and keep an eye out on booster packs for the better beast warriors.

Please bear in mind however, that the game does not work on Nintendo DSi as there was no slot on the new console for the magic reader."

Accept missions by viewing proposals via your email system, finding and tracking animals are only the start of your mission, you might be asked to take photos of them at unique angles, such as taking a close up shot of a giraffe's face. You'd realize you need a lot of skills to be an accomplished photographer.

You'll have a lot of equipment to choose from, from cameras to your camping gear. Of course these cost money, so be sure to accept as much missions as you can manage, besides, some organizations provide you with useful equipment such as tripods that you can use even after you have completed their request.

The game makes use of PS3's stunning graphical capabilities to render animations of animals to the most life-like degree. Remember how a clip from the game is used as a demonstration of the PlayStation3 prowess during the console's promotion? Now you can see why."

Weekly Special - Super Robot Taisen K for DS

Last week's special sold out, don't miss out on this one! Another DS game and a strategy one at that. It's Super Robot Taisen K this week, a new game in the popular Super Robot Taisen series of games, also known as Super Robot Wars. It's available at the Super Robot Price (see what I did there?) of $24.90. You save a massive $40!

Please note that this is a Japanese strategy game, but will work on any DS and I'd assume there is no english language option. If I remember correctly, the Super Robot Taisen games are still easy to figure out and fun to play even if you can't read the language. It's kind of like Advance Wars, with Robots, but no building capabilities. What you've got is what you fight with. Limited to one copy per person, don't miss out!

"A large war is whipping the world into a whirlwind, destroying numerous planets and lives. Although civilization allowed people to live in cities scattered across the universe, violence never stopped.

50 years ago, the demon queen led her invasion, and later came the virtual beasts. Both menaces were taken care of, however, the troubles with humans carries on.

Science and technology allowed people to alter their off spring's genes. Coordinators are people who are genetically adjusted and seemed to have better physical or mental attributes than normal natural borns.

The differences in abilities set the two types of people apart and grudges, as well as envy is the source of current strife.

Each camp, the Naturals and the Coordinators, has their military force and war is about to start. Board your robot and get ready to enter battle. The mechas come from a multitude of series, from the relatively new classic Gundam Seed to King Geiner."

Weekly Special - Phantasy Star Zero for Nintendo DS

Hey hey! It's another weekly special. This week we break away from the Xbox 360 to bring you a DS game special! RPG fans will especially like this one, it's Phantasy Star Zero, another great new addition to the popular Phantasy Star universe. It's available at the super low price of $14.90. That's $34 off!

Please note that this is a Japanese RPG game and I'd assume there is no english language option. All DS games are region free and will work on any DS, so if you can read Japanese, are willing to learn or don't care about the story...well, what are you waiting for?

"Phantasy Star Zero is a highlighted production by Sega, the fruit of the combined efforts between the anime producer Kobooka Toshiyuki and the mystery novelists Shiwasu Tooru and Arai Teru. It inherits the exciting gameplay and adopts a completely new storyline.

Three races are present in this installment, the Humans, the androids Casts and Newmans, a new type of beings that descended from the moon. Depending on what strengths you value and what weaknesses you can afford to have, decide your player character's race and profession.

The game takes place two centuries after a great war which destroys everything. To rebuild civilization, the humans, the only race left on the crumbling world did all they could and constructed cities. Within the city everything remains peaceful, but once they step out, the people are accosted by enemies.

To keep their cities safe, the humans formed the hunters organizations and joined forces Casts to combat the enemies' aggression. However, there is another race which humans have forgotten for they have disappeared even from the history books. When the Newmans descend from the moon, new opportunities for adventures and conflicts opened."

Weekly Special - Prince of Persia for Xbox 360

Looky what we have here, another Xbox 360 special! That's five in a row! Is your wallet running dry yet Xbox owners? Well, if you own a NTSC-J 360 console, you can't miss out on this special, it's Prince of Persia, a fantastic new adventure for this generation and the start of a new trilogy. But yeah, it's not region free, bummer. It does feature English and Korean, but it won't work on NTSC and PAL 360's...on the bright side, it's been discounted to an all new low price of just $16.90, can you believe it? That's $33 freaking dollars off and for a AAA title no less, good times.


An all new setting and and all new prince (or is he even a prince? We shall see) as well as a partner in the form of a pretty lady with magic called Elika, the game has an open-world feel and allows you to choose your next level from a few available as you unlock new sections. All new moves, combat system (which I liked) and fantastic new graphics along with a good story makes for one neat package. This is actually one of my favorite single player games of this generation. The game gets a big thumbs up from me and I can't wait to play the sequel, if you're 360 can play it and you don't own it, you have no excuse, buy it now!

Limited to three copies per customer, while stocks last...you know the drill.

Weekly Special - F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin for Xbox 360

Guess what? It's another weekly discount for Xbox 360! That's four in a row now. I'm sure owners of the other consoles are starting to feel a little lonely. But don't fret, maybe it will be your week, next week. It's one of my favorite shooters of recent memory this week, the sequel to the original F.E.A.R., titled F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin. Being known for it's excellent AI and "Bullet time" style of gameplay, F.E.A.R. also told us the story of a scary little girl called Alma.

Available for the incredibly low price of just $24.90, which is a half-price bargain, especially for such a fun first person shooter. This special is available for one week only and while being the Korean version, is region free and will work on any console. It also includes the following language options: English, French, Spanish, Italian and German. Unless you're too young (it is a horror shooter after all), I recommend you buy this game right now, you won't be dissapointed. Only one copy per person, so don't miss out on yours!


Still need more convincing? Okay, picture a mix of Rainbow Six: Vegas and Max Payne and you'll start getting idea of what the game's like. Plenty of cool rifle weapons, ketchup (blood) and corridor shooting gameplay. There's some outside stuff too and you even get to jump in a machine and...hmm, I've said too much. Excellent AI and nice graphics round off the package. I thought the game improved on the first in every way and was much more fun to play. Much better level design too. My only complaint? The ending is a terrible cliffhanger which tells you nothing. Oh well, I'll have to wait for F.E.A.R. 3.

Weekly Special - NHL 2K9 for Xbox 360

Another weekly discount for Xbox 360 owners and three days earlier than usual! I'm not sure why, but who's complaining? Maybe the last weekly special sold out too quickly. Anyway, sports game fans have something of a bargain this week with NHL 2K9 on Xbox 360 for the super duper low price of just $14.90, that's around 70% off the marked price of $49.90! I'm not joking, check it out right now. No need to purchase any extra stuff, such as hockey sticks, pucks, protective gear or an ice rink, just the game will do. You can play the latest and greatest NHL game for under $15, so get buying! I'm assuming that the extra three days and five copies per person limit change means there's plenty available, but as always with a bargain like this, the copies fly off the shelves and you'll need to get in early to secure a copy or three. Makes a great gift no?


As with the previous NBA 2K9 game special, NHL 2K9 is also region free and will work on any Xbox 360 worldwide. The game also contains a wealth of language options, which includes: English, Spanish, French, Dutch and Italian. NHL 2K9 features many new improvements and additions over the previous versions. Apart from the usual things such as updated stats and new commentary, 2K9 also features new crowd and play animations and a new control scheme which is meant to put the fun back in hockey games. It also looks like 12 different consoles can join up online to play one match, that sounds pretty cool and another reason to buy some extra copies!

Weekly Special - NBA 2K9 for Xbox 360

Are you a sports fan? Do you love your NBA games? Do you enjoy the 2K9 series of sports games? Do you have an Xbox 360? If you answered yes to any two of those questions, then you should head over to Play-Asia and purchase NBA 2K9 at the incredibly low price of just $19.90!

Did you know NBA 2K8 was the best selling basketball game on the 360 last year? Not to mention that the 2K series has been the #1 rated NBA simulation seven years running. EA needs to lift their game (hah!) with the NBA Live series if they want to ever take back the NBA crown.

Weekly Special: The Club PS3

It's weekly special time! And what a bargain we have this week, The Club on PlayStation 3 for just $9.90! That's $40 or just over 80% off the listing price. Remember, only one per customer and it's only while stocks last.

Still here? Okay, well it's Region Free of course, like every PS3 game and will work on any PS3 system. It's also the Korean version, but the game is in English, so it's no big deal unless you're a collector and have to have the English version and if you are, you would have bought the game already. Am I right?

The Club is a third person shooter which requires you to run through a level shooting enemies as quickly as possible to boost your score. The faster the kill and the more head shots you pull off accurately, the bigger the score.

It's similar to an arcade light gun shooter, except you control the movement of your character and you don't have a controller and aren't required to keep putting in coins and...you get the point.

So don't delay, grab The Club today!

Weekly Special: Tales of Hearts (CG Movie Edition) for DS

Welcome back to another weekly special. This week it's a DS game, sorry PSP fans, maybe next time! Prepare yourselves for Tales of Hearts (CG Movie Edition), sounds sexy, no? Available at a fantastically low price of $19.90. That's $43 off!

Although please be aware that this is a Japanese RPG game and I'd assume there is no English language option. DS games are region free and work on any DS, so if you can read Japanese, wanting to learn or just play the game and ignore the text, this game is for you!.

By CG edition, I'm guessing CG videos have been added into the game like many DS games lately. I've played a few of the "Tales" games and they are solid RPG's and fun to play. Here's more info taken from the description:

"Under the twin moons and the rule of the great empire, people have been leading peaceful lives albeit unsettling legends about a sleeping princess, dream eating monsters and the falling moons continue to pass around.

No matter how unsettling, people have been seeing these legends as mere stories to scare children, until the day a mysterious plague started spreading and the culprit of the illness seems to be the dream eating monsters. Under the onslaught of these evil forces, a special substance in people's hearts, spiria gets contaminated.

The only thing to counter the monsters is Soma, hidden within the Spire Maze.

All these strives of the land are unknown to the hero, Shing until he rescues a mysterious girl Kohaku from the monsters. Together, the two set off to find the mysterious substance Soma, save the land and find out the truth about the legends."

Sounds good, enjoy!
