Super Robot Chogokin - Genryujin & Gouryujin

Both Hyoryu and Enryu was miraculously brought back to life due to the mysterious energy call The Power. In order to save their brothers from meeting a certain doom facing the Z-Masters, both of them split up to join the battle with their younger brothers.

Result of Symmetrical Docking between Hyoryu and Rairyu when their SympaRate exceeded 200%. This level was made possible when one of the robots were charged by The Power, a mysterious energy taken from the planet Jupiter. His abilities include "Aurora Illusion" (which makes illusory ice copies as decoys) and "Thunder Blizzard" (which functions exactly like Shuang Tou Long).

Result of Symmetrical Docking between Enryu and Furyu when their SympaRate exceeded 200%. This level was made possible when one or both of the robots were charged with The Power, a mysterious energy taken from the planet Jupiter. His main attack is "Burning Hurricane" (which works like Shuang Tou Long).

They can stand toe-to-toe with the Z-Masters.

One of the reason why I decided to get Gekiryujin (which is a Tamashii Limited release) was that I can combine the both half of Gekiryujin and Chouryujin to get Genryujin and Gouryujin. Instead of 2 mechas, now I can practically pose them as 4 different mechas. Anyway, Gekiryujin is definitely a great buy so grab one if you are a fan of the Brave series.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown

A collective alien race shows up on earth and start an invasion campaign. A group of countries called the Council of Nations has banded together to create XCOM, an elite military and scientific organization tasked with defending them from the alien attack.



This is a reboot of the original game which was release back in 1994. I remember playing this game back in those days. It brings back nostalgic memory where I remember playing this game for countless hour, exchanging strategies and stories with my friends and siblings. When 2K Games announced that they are coming up with a reboot for this game, naturally I was ecstatic.

I bought the game on day one and it was money well spend. If you have yet to try it out, go and grab it. Trust me. This game will not disappoint you if you are a strategy game enthusiast.
