From paper to bits: Learning to play collectible card games through video games

Video game versions of collectible card games can help gamers learn how to play, make them better, and even offer them a unique spin on the tabletop hobby.

It's definitely how I learned Magic.

Just make sure to explicitly tell any potential dates (that also write for tech websites) about which XBLA CCGs you've tried. It's dishonest not to.

You don't want to know how much I paid for a Blastoise card back in the day.

Sadie21004596d ago

That's how I got my start, too...via Capcom vs. SNK Cardfighters Clash! (the original one on Neo Geo Pocket)

KidMakeshift4596d ago

I have 9 packs of Eye Of Judgment cards and still haven't played the game yet. What's worse is that I've had the game since it came out.

I'm getting tired of all these opinion pieces titled "You Should Do This", "You Shouldn't Do That".

I'll do whatever the f*** I want, thank you very much. :)

How about reporting on some actual news?

Then goes on to tell THEM what to do haha!

PrinceOfMalta1577d ago

I said "how about", it's a suggestion, not an order.
And I'm a reader here, so I'm voicing my preferences to people who publish their articles here.
Totally different from some rando telling me what I should or shouldn't play/do in my free time.

Gigglefist1577d ago (Edited 1577d ago )

They're editorials my dude

DarkkMinion1577d ago

How about you just do that. Do whatever the f you want and be happy. See, I just told you what to do.

ShinRon1577d ago

play Hearthstone instead imo

ShockUltraslash1577d ago

How about no?
Its free to play on lower ranks but you need to pay for the good cards and top meta decks.
Also meta shifts every season so even if you grind 1000 hours to get the best cards, it will be outdated next season.

Which Pokemon mobile game fits your lifestyle

It is a brave new world for the Pokemon series. Thanks to the prevalence of mobile devices and lowering of walls, all sorts of spin-offs are showing up in new spaces. Android and iOS devices are getting their own kinds of games involving our favorite pocket monsters. None of them are traditional Pokemon titles, but that doesn't mean they don't have value or should be ignored. In fact, people probably should be trying out and experiencing some of the ones immediately available now. (Especially while waiting for the DeNA Pokemon Masters game and the sleep-tracking Pokemon Sleep application.) But, which ones should people consider playing?
