Crispy Gamer writes: Here's a strange brew. Combine collectible card games with board games for something that's equal parts randomness (the luck of the draw, die rolling) and strategy (deck building, territorial control). To further defy any pigeonholing, add in a stock market gimmick. Now present it all as a Japanese role-playing game so no one looking at the box would be any the wiser. Welcome to Culdcept. Oh yeah, go ahead and cram in a storyline in case anyone wants to know what a culdcept is or why dragon zombies are fighting spudmen. For the record, I couldn't tell you to save my life, but I can tell you the cut scenes that probably explain all that stuff are skippable.
What's Hot: Clever mix of board gaming and collectible card game
What's Not: Interface, pacing, card-peeking mechanics
Koru from Gamedibs.com here with a brand new series, "Video Game Clash!" where I showcase match videos from all sorts of games. This is just a test episode. It may or may not continue.
Future episodes featuring different titles will not be nearly as lengthy, as matches in this game can last up to an hour or more. Any feedback would be appreciated, and if you have a game request, please comment or message me.
The game featured in this episode is Culdcept Saga, an Xbox 360 exclusive. For more information on the game check out http://culdceptcentral.com
My friends and I played this game many o nights, loved it. Didn't like the fact that at least half of the times a person would get disconnected. Oh and 1 more thing that sucked...when playing against AI the game would seem to cheat, by rolling whatever what was needed to help in the computer winning!
The computer does indeed cheat quite a bit. Which is why I typically never touch story mode again once I've gotten everything there is to get from it. Most addicting game I've ever played though.
Welcome back to Koru's Game Reviews. This is Koru from Gamedibs.com presenting episode 5.

Enjoy!

Although the Xbox 360 has the highest software attach ratio ever for a video game system, many exclusives don't sell as well as they should. Here are the top five most overlooked 360-only titles.
Totally agree with EDF and Chromehounds, both games deserve more attention.
Where is my EDF sequel??!!
