The Game Plan with GCASH AMEX Virtual Pay

From playing Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros very intently and seriously, finishing all levels and finally rescuing Princess Toadstool from the antagonist dragon-godzilla-like looking Bowser, in grade school and I think all the way to mid-high, I’ve pretty much played a number of PlayStation games.

I’ve graduated from controlling Mario or Luigi as either or both travel through the Mushroom Kingdom with fire flowers among others.

In college, I almost refused to pick up any game as a hobby but MB introduced me to Counterstrike and the gamer in me just couldn’t help it. Counterstrike is a first-person shooter game in which players choose to either plant a bomb and be the terrorist or defuse the bomb and be the counter-terrorist. Each team targets to complete their assigned mission or eliminate the opposing team.

After getting trained into (don’t worry, I still studied hard and got very good grades) it by my ex, practicing how to buy and prep equipment at the beginning of every round in swift control-F1-4-2 clicks and aiming, I got really hooked on it since I love the team vs. team mode where strategies come into play. In the recent years, games have continued to evolve and more and more games become available from different sites.

You can now buy games and downloadable content from Amazon, the PlayStation Store, the Steam Store, and/or the Google Play Store and the iPhone App Store. Worried that not having a credit card is an issue? I really don’t believe in credit cards that much either so I can totally relate, but I’ve found my solution to online purchases made in US sites. And absolutely NO need for credit card. You just need your virtual wallet called GCash American Express Virtual Pay.

It’s basically electronic money on your phone. GCASH lets me store money in my Globe number, turning my mobile phone into a virtual wallet for convenient, quick and safe money keep, sending money overseas or buy items or GAMES in this case online. It was also pretty easy to get my GCASH account. Since I already have a Globe postpaid number (you can also be a Globe prepaid or TM subscriber), I just dialed *143# and followed instructions as prompted (hint: choose #8 where it says GCASH). The other way, if you have a smart phone, is to download the GCASH app. I was registered in an instant and was given my MPIN.

For Steam players, you can actually buy DOTA 2 costumes directly from the Steam Store via GCash American Express Virtual Pay. For PlayStation players, instead of going out to stores, you can now buy $10 or $50 PlayStation Store codes or even subscribe to PlayStation Plus membership at Amazon using GCash American Express Virtual Pay.

I’m targeting to buy a game on the Apple App Store using my GCash American Express Virtual Pay. Readers, you have any suggestions on what to get? Please don’t say Candy Crush. I want a game where I can go spawning simultaneously with other teams or players and apply strategic team play.
