GamerStrategy BlogI was recently perusing Steam in search of a new title to play with my friends and I stumbled across Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalker. Now, I have never been a Magic card player, and the only cards I have ever owned were the free ones
we all got from PAX Prime this year, but it was only like 3 bucks, so I figured why not?
Turns out Magic the Gathering is pretty damn awesome.
I admit I was rather skeptical about playing a card game, especially when Skyrim and Battlefield 3 are only a click away. However, within half an hour I had already forced my friends to buy it and we were happily engaged in FFA 4 player duels for several hours that night and a few hours the next. Even sitting at my desk in the studio, surrounded by games, I still just want to play Magic the Gathering.
I feel like all my blog posts for the next while are going to mention Skyrim, but my god its a great game. It does have some issues, such as the occasional broken texture or invisible head, but nothing totally game breaking so far, unlike my experience with Fallout: New Vegas, which is thoroughly unpleasant. If you have not started the Thieves Guild or Dark
Brotherhood quests, i recommend it, as they are among the best I have experienced so far in terms of quest diversity and fun. Also, if you are going to play them, I recommend wearing the armor they give you and using daggers or a bow, since the story is way more believable and immersive when you are in assassin armor and not 600 pounds of plate steel.
Alright. Back to work!
