Product Description
The unique combination of the power of the PlayStation®3, the engineering behind the next generation camera, innovative ‘cybercode’ technology takes video games and the trading card game (TCG) genres and combines them into one revolutionary gaming experience. "Augmented Reality"—like scenes from sci-fi movies, play a game with 3D generated images super imposed in real world environments. Simply place a trading card with ‘cybercode’ technology underneath the next generation camera and watch a generated creature appear. The PlayStation®3 and the next generation camera recognizes the ‘cybercode’ and reads creature type, orientation, tracks movement and calculates gameplay maneuvers in real-time. Simple gameplay mechanics:
- Create a deck from hundreds of different creatures cards and magic spell.
- Strategically place one card on the 3x3 grid.
- Watch cards come to ‘life’ and battle against your opponent’s cards.
- Alternate turns and react to your opponents moves.
- First person to occupy 5 squares wins the game.

Ok so I was pretty down on this game when I read about it. First I have never been in CCG games(collectible card games I think?). Although I applauded SONY for the idea, I never planned to get the game myself. However because it came with the PSEYE (EyeToy camera v2) and I saw it on a pre-order sale on Amazon for 59.99, I snatched it up. It also comes with a starter pack (30 cards) and a random booster pack (8 cards) both which are worth $15 and $4 respectively. The PS EYE cost $39.99 which in total comes out close to 50 dollars in value without the game! Then you have the camera stand and the mat and you can see why this game is a steal at $60 and extremely well priced at 69.99. Of course it can add up to much more than a hundred if you're a serious card collector
Anyway so on to my story, I am still learning the game but I can honestly say I am hooked. My brain cannot stop thinking of strategies, which reminds of of the days I used to be addicted to Age Of EmpireII. A Few matches in and the whole day is gone! Its scary actually and I am afraid this game will take over and leave me no time for SingStar and Uncharted during the holidays :(
Well, I have to say this is a great little package to an addictive card game which is best played with friends. Even if you never tried these types of card games before you should give this one a try. The battle system is deep and adds randomness to card choice which will be immediately clear when you start playing. In other words don't worry too much about not having the best cards. Playing online, I have seen some crazy cards out there in the wild which may clean your wallet due to jealousy since you will be buying up crazy amounts of booster packs!
If you want to play with me my PSN Id is PistolGrip. Add me! Though I am taking two days rest from it.
As always,
Pros
+ Addicting gameplay
+ Great Value
+ Comes with the PSEye camera. You can also download a cool program called Eye Create which allows you to make some cool movie effects with the camera from your PS3
+ Great fun playing with friends and even strangers online.
Cons
- Addicting gameplay, may take over free time
- I had some issues with the camera reading my cards. I did a few tricks with light and placement which greatly improve this though.
- Hard to find other geek friends that would play in person with you. :*(

I am no fan of Collectible Card Games with little time or patience for them. I however, desperately wanted a Playstation Eye and decided to get this pack to get it early.
I tried the game and I am absolutely hooked. I have been playing against the computer for a while and have finally started winning a bit. Have already unlocked two new packs for the computer.
I am going to dock a point overall because of the need to buy new cards. I haven't needed them as yet but I am guessing that in the future it will be impossible to win with the standard deck.
Overall, for those who haven't tried a CCG .. this is a cheap way to start and you get the Eye which is a must have for the PS3.

This is, by far, the most enjoyable PS3 game I have played. The concept is original (at least to the game consoles), the graphics are wonderful and most importantly, the thing is a blast to play. It's definitely going to be a "must have" for card game collectors (Magic, Star Wars, VS, etc.) but I think the game will ultimately do just as well with other gamers. Everyone who watched my friend and me play eventually asked, "Can I play the winner?"
The keys to this game is the depth of the game itself (learned quickly but hard to master) and the ability to play against the computer, against a friend in the room or over the Internet.
What rocks most about this game is that it will evolve as new cards are created and/or new rules are added through software updates. Now THAT is a game with replay value. The appeal of most games lasts for a few months (you either beat it or see everything it has to offer), but EYE is a game I believe most owners will be playing for YEARS to come.
I HIGHLY recommend this game to families. I love it, and my young son and teen daughter are now hooked too. How many PS3 games offer that kind of broad appeal?

Be careful what you order
I ordered this game from Amazon though it is sold by Galactics. The game came by itself without the rest of the required items to play the game. Read more
