Play Eye of Judgement, no PS3 necessary

The all-seeing PS3 card battling title Eye of Judgement uses the included PlayStation Eye camera to recognize cards and bring amazing animations to the palm of your hand. It's a novel idea and a nerdy delight, but what happens when the power goes out? No worries, Tyler Tinsley has you covered with his tabletop adaption of Eye of Judgement.

The whole principle with EoJ is being able to play with someone, anytime of the day or night. There's so many cards games available, like Pokemons or Magic the Gathering, where you have to go to your local card shop to play, I'm don't see the point of doing the same thing with EoJ unless you're in a camping trip somewhere in the wood, and really, really fill the itch to play a game. And even then, the PS3 is the ultimate referee, never making any mistakes in the the mana or h.p. count, making sure every single rules are ok, and also taking tab of which cards have been played... Remember, playing without the PS3, you have to make sure your opponent played only ONE hero, ONE phantom, only 3 leapfrogs, only 3 Flame Magus, and so on, and on... Play a second hero 20 minutes into a game, and the PS3 won't let you!

So, yes for camping trip, but I'm sorry, next time I'm playing against a japanese opponent, I don't want to fly 20 hours to do it!

the producer of the game should really make quality tabletop accessories like this so more players are into this great card game

(and o well i like how computer shuffle cards for me it seems so much fairer than hand shuffle anyways...)

The Sad State Of Augmented Reality Video Games (Modojo)

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
