David Silberstein of Gaming Dead: "Tabletop games and video games have been crossing over since video games were invented. More recently, Wizards of the Coast has been trying to bring Magic: the Gathering to a console and PC-friendly audience with Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012, the new update for their Magic video game."
Taha Brown takes an indepth look at the latest digital magic offering from Stainless Games.
Reviews of games within series always feel slightly polarising. There is a constant dilemma of who the target audience should be, whether they be hardened stalwarts of the genre or completely unaccustomed. Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalker 2013 (the third release in the series) is reaching that difficult stage, particularly with its money draining annual release strategy. The review is made even more divisive by the fact this game should receive entirely separate conclusions depending on whether the reader already owns a previous release. So, let's make this simple. If you own the 2012 edition of the game, released last year, then skip down to the paragraph that begins with 'but here is the problem' and perhaps shed a tear for the overt commercialism of your favourite game. Otherwise read on.
MonsterVine: "Everyone’s heard of Magic the Gathering. Classic collectible card game with monsters that’s been around since 1993. Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 is the newest Magic game available which aims to refine the Duels series even more."
