Eye of Judgement


Went to the MCM EXPO in London today. Amongst the variety of things there what stuck out the most was a new game for the PS3 called Eye of Judgement. It's unique in the sense that it uses collectable cards like magic the gathering. Except that using a camera on the PS3 tm recognise the moves the battles are fought out in 3D using the PS3. It adds a nice element to the game... Besides the fact you can play by yourself and over the internet... Which negates the need to arrange face to face battles with friends. I imagine it'd appeal to gamers from both ends of the spectrum. It's something i think i might even consider myself. One thing that i'm yet tm work out how the system prevents (if indeed it does at all) is cheating... When you play a game like this the deck is shuffled to add an element of randomness (i say element because you choose what cards to have in the deck)... Yet what prevents a remote player from stacking the deck in their favour? Wonder if the Eye of Judgement sees all :-)
