i love magic but i am new to it via psn and tactics on the PC,i did buy some half price stuff for tactics including a booster,i wanted to see what they are but i haven't even booted it up yet,save it for a rainy day,i'm playing 2013 now on psn,is the PC version very different and better,

was magic around on all the earlier consoles i never seem to have found them or similiar,i never played the card games though,i do like the computer doing everything and love the art work and stuff,what are the other magic type games,my psn buddy plays one with his son,can't remember what it is now

people seem to say they don't like tactics but i just love things moving around the board like the old commodore 64 chess type game i use to play,i haven't really built specific decks to play people but imagine thats what goes on with the experienced players in these tournoments i see on the sites

was that eye of judgement game like magic

@ zarx very true you do not need it to have decent gaming

Consoles, not that i know of... there was a really sweet PC magic game early on that was a better game.  It a story, Scenario mode where you wandered around completing quests, dueling monsters and raiding crypts and such.

Only issue it had was that back then magic was full of bullshit back that.  Way too many "Protection from" and "Walk" cards.

Eye of Judgement... honestly i can't remember, I don't believe so... I thiiiiiiiiiiink it was more like Triple Triad but in a different kind of way.

As for previous trading card games i've liked, there's the DBZ TCG on GBA, the Monster Hunter Trading card game on PS1,  Digimon card game on PS1, Pokemon Trading card game on... GB i want to say,,,,, Triple Triad in FF8 was the only thing i liked about that game.....

Marvel Trading card game sucks, they should of kept overpower and made a card game off that.

Wow, why is it so easy to easy to not even play most of the Steam games you have?

Because they keep selling steam games for like, 5 dollars or less... or like bundles of like 30 for like 10 bucks....

@kaz did those old card trading game have combat animations and nosies,which is what i like,on the psn they actually took animations off the second game i bought which i found crazy,tactics has the story campaign,i'm on the 3rd one i think but haven't played for a while,just got my pc running properly,although i find the sorting system a bit messy myself i think they need to restyle it somehow

i'll have to buy magic 2013 off steam to see what difference it is,i like the fantasy strategy turn base type games,i'm no expert in them but i just enjoy them like a living chess

You can add games to your Steam library.  When you're on the library tab, click "Add a game" (bottom left) followed by "Add a non-steam game".

iirc, it doesn't track time you spend in them though.  Though I may be wrong, it's been a while since I played a non-steam game through it!

Digimon and Monster Rancher did.   Digimon had little 3D guys that would pop out of the cards and fight.

Monster Rancher had some rudimentry card animation cutscenes when they fought.

The main difference from the new Magic is the decks are a loit more focused.  So the draw decks focus more on drawing, the white lion deck focuses more on life gain etc.

and the Archenemny mode had been replaced with a 4 person everyone for themselves brawl that has "Plane Cards" that change the rules of the game.

Well and some all new decks and characters and some old ones gone.

There is a full out goblin deck this time.  With a card called Goblin hand Grenade!   I had a ton of those when I was a kid.  Was so broken it was banned.   Guess Power Creep caught up to it.

And yeah, I like tactics too, i've got to go back and play that some more. It's a pretty standard paint by numbers SRPG but with a pretty neat gimic with the summoning to tie it to magic.
