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.
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

Hey everyone, Jason 'USMCOgre' Greeson from FPQA back to give you EOJ fans another Set 3 sneak peek. Set 3 is almost here and with it comes 100 new cards and tons of new strategies waiting to be discovered. Here's a heads up on some of the new cards and how they interact with the cards you've already been playing with. More Set 3 info to come next week when Set 3 launches on PSN!
When you used go online to play a ranked game, you would get an opponent right away. Now, it may take up to 5 minutes. Still, it's better than driving to the nearest card store to find an opponent (like you must do for Yugioh or MtG).
It does seem that the fact that the game is now on sale pretty much anywhere, and since trophy are coming up, there's currently a surge of new players, or even old players who had put the game aside.
The game is almost one year old, and still going. Many one year old game I've died already. So I would say it's not doing so bad.
As far as card copying, I could not tell you. It's not a problem since most players have all the cards they need already. I think the first set got online and was hard to find, but from what I heard, the second set never made it. Keep in mind, only the hardcore pirate could find it. Those guys don't pay for a single game, so no matter what, it's not EoJ only that is getting hit... And from what I also heard, copy are really, really finicky to play. Dang, you really have to tweak your camera and lighting to truly enjoy the experience with real cards, so I pity people who play with copies. (And a very good copy probably cost almost as much as the original anyway)
I actually play eoj religously. I play with my son on Saturday afternoons. He adores it. We have alot of great eoj cards.
he watches cartoon network & really loves Bakugon right now. He's 11 now
so he brings his bakugon cards to school & duels it out with friends. Card dueling
is popular with the kids bro but to be tottally honest since playing my younger brother had got involved
& he is 28 & we have a blast online. Its become a rivalry.
The developers are obviously supporting the game so that shows me there are alot of fans still playing.
I never had a problem finding anyone online. I played against this italian guy who had some good freaking cards
but we had the language barrier thing going on ya know.
Eoj is a friends game first & foremost. It can get expensive because its addicting. Very cool for when kids are at the house. I can't wait to get set.3 & build a new deck of powerhouses. Gamestop & toys r us are really selling out these cards so psn better lower the price this time.
I'm excited.
It's good to see you so excited to play this with your kid. This is the kind of parent-child interaction that needs to happen, instead of the polarity where the kids play the games, and the parents don't get involved, only when they have to complain about the games they let their kids play in the first place.
In actuality, I still think this game is one of the best innovations this generation of gaming. Sure, it might not have AAA production values in terms of story, etc., but it sure is a hell of a lot of fun to play. Plus, how can you go wrong with a game that basically lets gamers get the closest they will ever get to actually being in a real monster card duel (ala Yu-Gi-Oh!).\
Did they ever fix the card exploit, where people figured out how to duplicate them and trick the game?
