Card sharks who've been holding their cards for a definitive console collectible card game experience need look no further than this game. Final score: 8.3
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

"Creature Defense places gamers in a variety of stunningly illustrated worlds where they are tasked with defending their land from invading attackers and we've got multiple download tokens to giveaway!"
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.
EOJ is looking like a sliver lining for PS3 geared at a niche audience.
EOJ is selling well over Amazon and other major NA/EU retailers BTW
Yups I agree with it selling well in Japan...but who knows..what if this actually sell well in the US...i mean we all though HS..would do well and look what happen expect ne thing this gen..!!
during XMAS.
Dont be misled into thinking that HS didnt do well.
LAIR despite bad reviews has sold over 200 000 copies in NA and JAPAN
HS is around 700 000 worldwide at the moment. JAPAN has 30 000 preorders for HS!!!
expect the game to sell 100 000 ---200 000 copies over there too.
HS would easily cross the million mark this XMAS
This game doesn't really interest me..I do hope it does well though...the more variety of games the PS3 has the better IMO...
Yeah I think ppl were expecting too much of HS bcuz it was beign compared to GOW and all..the sales of the game remains steady and it has done well..for a system they say ppl don't buy games for...only blu-ray...
Thought about buying this but i decided to wait till COD4..after nov5, EOJ will get no love. plus the $3.99 for 8 cards sounds over priced..
