Well if you are looking for a unique game that is different and challenging, I think I have just seen the right thing for you. Eye of Judgement.
Now I know some of you say that you are too old for collectible card games. Some may have missed out on the Magic: The Gathering crazy of the 90’s. But it’s not too late for either group.
Strategy is the heart of any card game. It just isn’t as simple as checkers, but it’s easier to learn than chess and you can be good faster than you can master Guitar Hero. You can play against kids or friends. And it just looks cool.
The downside, if it can be called that, is that this needs the PS3 and the Eye Toy. The online play is a bit quirky. Plus it’s nowhere near as fun or interesting playing alone. The benefit is that the Eye Toy comes included in the price, and of course having a PS3 is worth it anyway. Plus you get to watch the well done animations of blasting your opponents creatures to the netherworld, or wherever they came from. And the creatures react to your actions to a degree.
This may be the start of a large genre, and I think it may be one of the early winners in this holiday season. I think parents will love it, and gamers looking for something new will be quite happy. As a friend of mine said,
“I don’t want the kids to just play a mindless shoot ‘em up. It doesn’t take any thought to just shoot everything in sight. I want them to have to think”
Now I like a good blast them all til their dead game as much as the next guy. But sometimes a little thought is great as well. Fans of Culdcept, Resident Evil or Disgaea should enjoy this. If you own a card game, you really will enjoy this.
Try it and let me know if you like it as well.
