VGW: If you have played Magic before, I can think of only a few reasons why you might hesitate to pick up this year's release. The game still features interstitial adverts for real-life card packs. It's not totally a bad thing, but it can be irksome to feel like your purchased product considers itself to be a commercial for something else.
Another important caveat is that the Archenemy mode from last year is no longer available. If you were a big player of it, you'll still be loading up the old version now and then. That will also give you the chance to reminisce with your old decks, which are currently (surprise DLC permitting) gone for good. It is aspects like this that remind us that Wizards of the Coast see their Duels of the Planeswalkers games as a gateway to either the real-life card versions or the much more open (and expensive - you pay for cards) Magic: The Gathering Online.
Carlos writes "2017 was a great year for the Xbox Backwards Compatibility program with many of our favourite 360 games made playable on Xbox One. That said, there are still a ton of highly requested games yet to arrive in the program and with 2018 set to see even more added, it makes sense that the first of the years new additions are now being given the treatment. This past week has seen six new games made backwards compatible, but which ones are worth returning to once more?"
"Six new games arrive via Backwards Compatibility"
Does anyone not see the funny side to this statement? I do... lol
I love the Sniper elite series & V2 is a great game & as I still have my 360 copy I'm good to go. Great news & it's free for me too.
Games, escapism, and dealing with loss.
Examiner's David Leavitt writes: "A recent accident left me without the use of fingers in my right hand. An even more devastating consequence than the damage to my body was that done to my soul. I'd lost the most important person in my life. Marjorie was more than just a lover to me: She was my best friend, confidant, inspirational muse and other half."
Impulse Gamer - Well, another year has passed and another edition of Magic's Duels of the Planeswalkers franchise has appeared – a less tongue-twisting title is not among the updates and new additions. So what is new, you might ask? Well, the big news is the Sealed Mode... but we'll get to that. First, a rundown of Duels of the Planeswalkers (DotP from here on, to appease the gods of brevity) itself, and how it relates to the card game.
