The logic was that I was about the nerdiest person there, and I used to play Magic: The Gathering, so I would seem to be the obvious choice. Next thing you know I was smack dab in the middle of a sea of sugar fueled kids and pre-teens, tossing down cards like old men at a casino. Immediately I respected the game, as it took the basic idea behind most collectable card games, and simplified it to a more manageable level, so that even a total novice could pick it up. On the flipside, the game was very deep, so you could come up with all sorts of crazy combinations."
Trendy Gamers: After the complete disaster that was the XBLA Yu-Gi-Oh! game, my faith in the series had almost all disappeared. So, when I saw this game at the pawn shop, it took me some convincing to pick it up but luckily, it restored some faith I had lost.
Abridge? Whats that?
I watched the new Zexal TV show and it is atrocious, they really need to bring back the original characters.

Stardust Accelerator is passable only when you look at what makes Yu-Gi-Oh! so popular. Konami only had to incorporate the cards and the rules (that have been in place for how many years now?) and they would've been golden. Everything else is below par and not worth your money.
