Watch Yakuza Like a Dragon ‘The Quest Begins’ Trailer

SEGA has released a new trailer, “The Quest Begins” for its one-of-a kind RPG Yakuza: Like a Dragon. In the trailer, the down-and-out Yakuza scrapper, Ichiban Kasuga, describes his videogame-esque heroic journey that will take him through an amazing array of minigames in a veritable underworld playground. Yokohama features a plethora of fun and hilarious distractions, including kart racing, batting cages, SEGA arcades, high-octane vocational school tests, and the ability to manage and grow your own company! Ichiban and his ragtag crew of friends have endless fun activities to engage with as they try to restore justice to the streets of Yokohama.

An experience like no other, Yakuza: Like a Dragon brings dynamic RPG gameplay to the series, with an epic adventure that combines the intense brawls, crushing drama, and over the top hilarity that the Yakuza series is known for. The game also features voice acting from a dynamic cast of actors, including George Takei, Kaiji Tang, Andrew Morgado, Greg Chun and Elizabeth Maxwell. 

That’s not all, though; the end of “The Quest Begins” features a special surprise. For the first time in the series’ history, Yakuza: Like a Dragon features English renditions of fans’ most beloved karaoke songs from previous entries in the series, as well as several brand-new songs.

The full list of English-voiced karaoke songs includes:

  • Baka Mitai (I’ve Been a Fool)
  • Hell Stew
  • Like a Butterfly
  • Machine Gun Kiss
  • Spring Breeze
  • The Future I Dreamed Of

Yakuza: Like a Dragon launches on Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Windows 10 and Steam on Nov. 10, 2020. The Xbox Series X | S versions will offer a Smart Delivery upgrade path for Xbox One owners of the game, and the PlayStation 4 owners will receive a free upgrade to the PlayStation 5 version, both physical and digital, upon its release on March 2, 2021.

New PS5 Trailer Gives a Very Up Close Look at the Console, by Taking One Apart!

New PS5 Trailer Gives a Very Up Close Look at the Console, by Taking One Apart!

So much has been made about how the PlayStation 5 Console looks with its very concept art visual style but many still had questions in regard to what lies underneath the shell. Well in an interesting new trailer, PlayStation has actually gone on to reveal not only what is inside the PS5 but to also show one being completely taken apart!

What stood out for me is exactly what did when it was first revealed, that the side panels are fully removeable without going near any of the inner workings and I felt then as I do now after this video, that the opportunity to allow users to customise their own PS5 with possible custom plates, perhaps even to be sold by PlayStation, could well be a feature in the lifetime of the console.

But the new cooling system does explain the large design of the console, which for some has been the subject of jokes and memes but honestly, I still like this design, it makes the console stand out which for £449.99 is something I would definitely want to showcase!

Review: Paw Patrol Dino Rescue Rex Deluxe Vehicle

With the new range of Paw Patrol Dino Rescue toys just released, we take a look at the Rex Deluxe Vehicle from SpinMaster.

Join PAW Patrol’s newest pup, Rex, on exciting rescues with his Dino Rescue Deluxe Vehicle! This unique vehicle for PAW Patrol’s dinosaur whisperer comes with a Rex collectible figure and a mystery dino figure! Featuring dinosaur-inspired details, a ramp and a transformation feature, Rex’s custom deluxe vehicle is ready to roll into action.

Unbox the mystery figure from the packaging to discover a colourful dinosaur to use in all of your rescue adventures! When a dino friend is in trouble, roll Rex up the ramp and push down on his vehicle to activate its awesome transformation. The vehicle’s body pops up from ground level to dino height, so Rex can interact with even the tallest dinosaurs!

Explore your imagination to create awesome prehistoric rescues, just like the ones from the hit TV show. Be ready for any mission with Rex and his Dino Rescue Deluxe Vehicle!

A Closer Look

Here is Rex who is the newest member of the Paw Patrol:

And here is new vehicle:

There’s also a Mystery Dino in the box:

Final Thoughts

In the cartoon, Ryder and his team of pups have just found the Dino Wilds – a brand new never before seen area of Adventure Bay that just happens to be populated with dinosaurs. Obviously they need to have a guide and that comes in the form of the latest Paw Patrol pup Rex. Rex is the first pup in a wheelchair and is already proving to be a favourite amongst children, my own son included!

Rex not only lives in the Dino Wilds, but he also speaks Dino which is very helpful to pups. And no pup would be complete without his or her own vehicle and Rex is no exception.

Rex’s deluxe vehicle can increase in height so that he can talk to any dinosaur. You can also play with the vehicle in a number of different positions (not just up or down) – so whatever fun you want to have you can.

You can choose to sit Rex in the drivers seat or he can go up through the ramp at the rear of his vehicle.

As well as Rex and his deluxe vehicle, you also get a mystery surprise Dino which adds to the fun.

Both Rex and his vehicle are a lot of fun to play with and make a great addition to any Paw Patrol set you may already have. There are lots of other new Dino additions as well, but more on those in another review.

The Paw Patrol Rex Deluxe Vehicle from SpinMaster is available now priced £19.99 exclusively from Smyths Toys.

Review: Super Mario 3D All-Stars

Can you believe that it’s been thirty five years since the first Mario game was released? There’s a certain comfort in knowing that future generations of players will be able to play new Mario games for many more years to come. It’s even more reassuring that Nintendo regularly releases ports of older games to give players of all ages the opportunity to play them on its latest hardware, as is the case with the Super Mario 3D All-Stars collection.

A Closer Look

Final Thoughts

The OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock is perfect for giving you just about every piece of connectivity you are likely to need. There are USB 3.1 and 3.2 (USB Type C) ports, there’s an SD card slot, a microSD card slot, audio port, digital audio port, Gigabit Ethernet port, Mini DisplayPort and Thunderbolt 3 ports.

The dock is compatible with both Mac (macOS 10.12 or later) and Windows 10 so whatever you are using this dock is easily the one for you!

Four of the USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports are also capable of providing 1.5A of power so that you can charge devices.

Some devices need an additional driver in order to function correction (such as the Apple SuperDrive) but OWC have provided the driver online so if you have one of those devices then you just need to download and install the driver. There is also a compatibility list online too just so you can check.

Setting up the dock is simple – place it on a desk (or wherever you want to use it), plug in the power supply, connect the dock to your laptop using the supplied cable, and that’s it! Now you can use any of the ports on the dock.

For me personally, I have an Apple MacBook Pro which means I am limited in what ports my laptop has available – there is no Ethernet port or SD card slot for example, something I personally use a lot, so the OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock is a lifesaver! Not only can I now use all those things I need without looking for extra connectors and unplugging whatever I already have connected, I can use other devices at the same time and even charge my phone and iPad too! And it looks good on the desk too!

The dock also comes with a 2 year warranty so if anything goes wrong you are covered.

The OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock is available now priced $279 and is available in either Silver or Space Grey and is a must have addition to your desktop – get one today!

You can learn more from the OWC website.
