Based off the frontpage post and a few other reviews, I decided to pick this game up. Definitely one of the most fun games I've played in a while. Anyone interested in playing together sometime?

So my review was right? ^_^

I'll be getting Xbox Live in 2 weeks. Gonna give the PSP a week to settle, and next week is Chaos Theory. But I know Koboshi and I would probably be up for some.

So it's been one month eh. Well, the PSP and all my other games haven't settled. Haven't even played Phantom Dust since about a week after the review.

I hate myself.

Ok. I'm got a new XBL account, and want to play this with people, I know Gong, Koboshi, and Xilren have it. We need more people. MORE MORE MORE. I'd love to have a tournament in XBL, whatwith the new skillsets and whatnot.

Is this game suppose to be good or something?

Dunno.  Our S-Child seems to be all quivery over it.

It's not a new game. I did a sort of "missing information" review on it. As in, I really want people to play it. The game functions sort of as a mix between City of Heroes and Guild Wars but with MtG and Auto Assault (Destructible Environments) mixed in.

It's. Good.

It's basically a good mtg varient game thats much more action oriented. You collect skills, assemble decks, and battle either in single player missions or online in duels.  The battle part is much more action oriented than a typical mtg game; you move your guy around in an environment and try to take out the other players using you skills.  Timing matters in defensive skills like shielding and attacks.  Range, attack type, and energy cost are important factors to assembling your deck.  The skills that pop up for you to use appear randomly in the arena, and the environment itself influences the duel.

For example, if your fighting in an anbandoned office complex, spells that shoot our in arcs, parabolas or drop straight down may not work well b/c they'll keep hitting walls, ceilings and floors.  Straight line attacks, or PBAoE's, or crawling attacks would be better choices.

The single player game is fine (but the in town parts suck).  Multiplayer is where the good stuff is.

At any rate, at $19.99, it well worth picking up if you have an xbox.

I think the music is totally awesome.  Well, the music in the town area.  Also, dropping ceilings on people rocks.  I guess I should get on Live.  Have to order me an adapter.

One problem with playing online:

All the white boys are talking jive. I mean that in the most dirty south sort of way. I have my mic on mute the whole time I'm playing. I need to play with people who know how to speak english.

I might be able to do that, the problem would be keeping the voice down so as to not awaken any bears that I might have married.
