Each square has an element assigned to it, these elements greatly affect the game and creatures, to play you lay a card on a square in the direction you want the creature or effect to sit and then onscreen the creature or spell will trigger and come alive. Most CCG's require you to destroy the other player, or drain life, in this game your goal is to control five of the nine squares, once you do this, the game is won. Obviously there is much, much more to this and you must follow the link above and see the game in action to believe it. If you are a gamer or know a gamer who is as crazy as me and loves CCG's and video games, you must have this game, which is available right now!

Why Buy it? Quite simply there is absolutely nothing like this game on any system and while it is definitely not for everyone, this game is a truly unique, fun and addicting experience. The visceral feel of handling real cards while playing a PS3 game is something that has to be tried to be believed. Considering the amount you get (a full 30 card deck, camera, game, booster pack and stand) this normal priced package is a phenomenal deal for anyone who wants to try a CCG game in a great way. The game is incredibly deep with tactics that can be employed differently situation to situation. I can't think of any other way to say it, but this is one of the most unique experiences on a console and what initially had me excited to own a PS3 back in 2005 (The Eye of Judgment was demoed at a tech show in 2005). Any uber-geek like me owes it to themselves to have this game and then find me on the PSN network (my ID is Jer1ch0, feel free to friend me) for a match or 12.

Everday Shooter (PSN)
Everyday Shooter is a Playstation Network only download and is a dual analog shooter (one analog stick is used to steer, the other to shoot in the pointed direction) with a huge and unique hook. The game is completely based on audio, specifically guitar, as you play every shot, explosion and effect triggers notes that harmonize with the all guitar soundtrack. The effect is surreal, hypnotic and a great experience to play. This game is very inexpensive and definitely a worthy addition to a gamers library.

Why Buy it? If anyone knows the amazing game Rez (and everyone should!), this one plays similar, but instead of techno or electronica the subtle guitar beats just feel and sound right while playing this game. Everyday Shooter is important as it was created by one man — Jonathon Mak — the games was discovered by Sony at the Indie Games Festival and they put their enormous weight behind him and gave all the support he needed. The result is an amazing experience with varied levels and sounds as you progress through; the visuals while not groundbreaking are sharp and bright. Bottom line, you will have fun with this game, even the menus illicit guitar notes when you move around, so in effect you can make a song while navigating up and down the start screen, and trust me, that is just the start!
