Hey guys it is Nick here. As you probably have seen, I have a copy of The Eye of Judgement up for sale and am taking offers but I was thinking how do you know if this game is worth it? I have bought the game myself and am here to give a review for you. Please bear with me as this is my first game review so I will try my best.
The Eye of Judgement is bringing something new to the gaming community. Sure there has been card videogames like Yu-Gi-Oh but not near as advanced as The Eye of Judgement. You actually have the real cards and you can make them come to life right before your guys on your TV.
This package is an unbeatable deal. For just $10 more than any normal PS3 ame you get the Game, the Playstation Eye, the Starter Deck, and a Pack of 8 cards as well as the things you need like the mat and camera stand. Just to point this out, the cards used for this game are very well constructed and made as they should be for the quality of this game. This has to be one of the best deals so far for the Playstation especially since you can use the Playstation Eye for many other things.
Now to the gameplay. When you start the game up and finish the easy set up for the camera and mat on the main menu there is a tutorial you can watch to help you get the basics of The Eye of Judgement. This video is very long (about 20 minutes) but is very informative and is reccomended before you start to play the game. Make sure you pay attention since you do not want to miss anything important that could affect your game. Now once you got the basics down if you have bought any extra packs like the one included or any more cards that were not in the starter deck, make sure to go to the card builder and register them in the deck you want to play with because if you do not do this, it will not allow you to use the cards that are unregistered in your current deck. So once your in your first game, don't expect to just go out and beat the computer everytime even on the beginner mode. I played on beginner mode about 7 times before I actually beat the computer. Now part of this could be because I am not very familiar with card games but I have read in many other places to that this game takes some practice. Once you get the hang of it you really start to get engaged in the game and once you become good enough you can try to take on online.
Now to the online. You better be ready to play good online because man their is some really skilled players online. I reccomend practicing offline until you can at least beat the computer at the hardest difficulty since most of the players online perform as good or better. Now we have all heard about people photo copying cards online and making the ultimate deck unfairly. Although this is true, from my experience out of maybe 25 games I think 5 of my games were played unfairly. Although this takes a little enjoyment out of it when someone is playing unfairly there is nothing like beating them when you do. Also, there is more fair games then unfair so you most likely will be playing more fair games. Other than this, it is basically the same thing online as it is offline.
Now for my final thoughts. I think The Eye of Judgement is a great game for almost anyone because it is so unique and there is no other game like it. But if you are experienced with playing with cards then this game was made for you and you should go out and buy this game without questions. This game leaves you with hours and possibly days of entertainment and will keep you engaged in the gameplay. This game performs almost flawlessly with the cards and works very well. The only negative things I could say about this game is that it does take some practice and getting used to, to be able to win. Also, online there is those players that play unfairly which can take some of the enjoyment you have online. Although those two things are present in the game, it does not affect the game much because of the creativity and uniqueness of this game.
Chris Buffa (Modojo): Augmented reality is a simulated version of the real world that has become a staple of television broadcasts, most notably as the yellow first down marker in football games. You've also seen it on the news and reality shows like American Idol and Dancing with the Stars, whenever the overlay appears, urging you to vote. Suffice to say, it's improved the viewing experience tenfold.
Vita should do good for Aug Reality. The new fighting game looks cool. I would love to have a ghost hunting camera game. Like a Fatal Frame.
AR has seen relatively low success because of mainly two reasons:
1. Low key marketing attempts.
2. Limitations: Low interactivity or bound by physical glyphs cards.
However Sony did show off an impressive tech demo that showcased AR that properly reads real world spatial data, which might lead to better interactivity and applications. The fact that it was demonstrated on a mobile phone means greater audience reach.
AR has really only caught on in the last 4-5 year and it's popularity gradually rising. It's still too early to start comparing it to traditional video game mediums when that has had over 30 years to mature.
Invizimals is not really a "blip", it is actually pretty popular and has arguably the largest community for an AR game ever (due to the fact it's got multiplayer).
AR games are not to different in nature from motion controls in that they require movement from the players side. In that respect, stuff like Mario on the Wii might have done well but, there are still many IP's that work and sell nicely on motion control gaming like Wii or Move so, I don't buy that AR needs an old IP to do well.
Also, the guy stated how silly one would look playing an AR game on the 3DS than states how cool a Pokemon game would look. That is either bias or inconsistency in his/her argument. xD

"Creature Defense places gamers in a variety of stunningly illustrated worlds where they are tasked with defending their land from invading attackers and we've got multiple download tokens to giveaway!"
For people who have not played the Eye of Judgment for awhile it's time to assemble your stand and dust off your cards. With the new Biolith Rebellion 3 expansion pack you have additional in-depth storylines for each of the four elements and decks from all three sets. These features are easily accessible from the main menu. The new cards give players amazing new creatures with enhanced abilities and attack options that allow you to submerge yourself in additional modes of game play. Keep in mind, you still have to register every single card with your playstation eye, easily downloadable from the PLAYSTATION(R) Network and purchase additional booster packs from you local game store.
your coordinates and your price via pm.bundle should include pseye.
I agree with your review except... Well gameplay for it is a little too simplistic. Anyone who has played a variety of TCG's will find EOJ rather basic imho. Overall though I love the concept and hopefully with the Xpac it becomes more better =P Good review.
