Add us on Facebook! / 19237354624 This week on Video Games AWESOME! we're putting on our wizard's caps and slinging some spells in Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers!
I must say that although this normally would have quite a limited audience, I must say with the comments, and just the general video in general was fantastic. Thanks for doing this new series...it's just adding to your already amazing repertoire of videos.
This game was such a huge hit in my high school. It wasn't just the nerds who played it but the stoners and delinquents too. This meant everyone because i went to school in New Jersey.
@TumbleDryy Actually, it's the reverse. Duel masters is actually a game based off of a manga commissioned by WOtC. The manga was made about the game of magic, rather than the story, so it got rejected, then was picked up and re labeled Duel Masters.
Not exactly. You collect 8 precon decks by playing through the single player game. You can also unlock 17 cards for each precon deck for a sideboard. So you can do a small bit of customization. It isn't a *full* Magic experience, but it's a hell of a lot of fun. A few of my friends and I are pretty hardcore into Magic and we played this game for hours (though two at a time of course in the co-op campaign). One of them is actually now considering buying a 360 just for this game.
I love how angry people get just because the gang acknowledge that it's silly, and let's be honest, it is. It's a card game with mosters on it people don't have to get so mad about it.
Oh man, this is awesome! I'm so gonna get that game. I actually play magic so the video game of it's gonna be sweet. Does anybody know if you can custom build your own decks on this game?
Man, it's strange to see Fraser knowing what he's talking about during an episode of VGA. I'm used to him rambling about things he has no clue about, like during the Marvel Vs Capcom 3 video.
I like how they made fun of the dude playing because he knows the game and the rules, but the other 3 are 100x geekier than the guy who's actually playing magic.
I would have thought a video game version of a card game would take the basic mechanics of gameplay and add some cool battle animations with the characters - not just cards on your tv. Anyone remember Battlechess?
@BaalBlade If I were you man I would wait until the 15th and get Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012, it will be an overall better game and it's very close to coming out so you don't have to wait long
Great idea shooting this (maybe) on a green screen. To see the actual game and see you reviewing the game. Nice. I'm MTG player and I lol'd at this video. HAhaha! lol at "tap" conversation on 2:23
@CorazonDeLeon92 most card gamers arent. ive seen weird people that play yugioh, pokemon, and magic. one thing they all have in common is theres cool people that play it, and theres people that make you think "yea, i dont doubt hes a card gamer"
