Good News Everyone!

  Aside from the fact that anyone who has seen Futurama said that in the proffessor's voice (or Bender's), I hit up a "nearby" big gaming store, and picked up a few new things in the cardgame review department, so those should be up later this weekend.

A Look Back, Yugioh!: Duelist Pack 2 Chazz Princeton

DP2-BoosterEN.jpg
     Let us move on in order to the second Duelist Pack, Chazz Princeton.  It had the same release dates in the TCG and the OCG as the first Duelist Pack, as it went hand in hand with Jaden's pack, and overall was a good choice to help introduce this new idea of a small, character focused pack.
      On the cover is Armed Dragon LV10, card only found in this pack and in Duel Terminal 5, while the other levels are easier to come by (with LV7 being found in three packs, including this, and not counted was the promo in a Wal-Mart package, and LV3 and LV5 being in several decks).  A rather nice yet difficult card to get out at times, due to its unique summoning conditions, but more on that later.
     Overall in terms of the cards in this pack, 17 of the 30 cards are monsters (including fusions), 9 spells, and 4 traps.  Time to break these down a bit.

Let's Play Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus (The Sly Collection): Tide of Terror, Part 2

      And once again, I pick up something I forgot about/was too busy/put off/procrastinated on, despite the fact I had the footage.  We start Prowling the Grounds and head deep Into the Machine on this one.

Kaijudo: Rise of the Duel Masters Battle Decks: Tatsurion vs. Razorkinder

     So, what happens when you take the card game equivalent of the Megaman Legends series (or in other words has a cult following, yet seemingly gets not enough love) like Duel Masters, which is still selling in Japan, but not here in America and still has fans and is a well designed game to boot?  Well as Wizards of the Coast, which distributed Duel Masters in America (and their site will link to the Japanese site of the game, if you don't believe me go to wizards.com and highlight brands at the top, its still listed), is a subsidiary of Hasbro, Hasbro brought it back, basically, in the form of Kaijudo: Rise of the Duel Masters (and I see what they did there, as I recall a video game called Duel Masters: Rise of Kaijudo being made).  As the backs of the cards are different and it basically is a different game, with classic cards brought back like Bronze-Arm Tribe (and a few prominent cards of the past I recall seeing in clips of the show, as well as on the online version, but more on that later), but functions just the same.
