Sword Girls Closed Beta Review

Where the magic begins...
I recently got a closed beta key for Sword Girls, a anime-themed online card game with many RPG and social game elements. While Sword Girls is not Magic: The Gathering, it is a fairly accessible and frenetic game which makes unique use of the fact that it is an online card game – it can essentially make use of video game conceits that RPG gamers are well aware of, like the brutal RNG (random number generator) upon which hang certain decisions. And yet it maintains a good element of strategic play and the card balance is not bad (and if it is, perhaps the random elements will make it difficult for your to notice).
Recettear: On Sale Sept. 10th!
Posted: August 31, 2010 Filed under: News, Other Hobby, Products, RPG, Video Games 1 Comment »I’m breaking my usual routine of not doing little news posts for other people’s news, but that’s because this is important. A while back I reviewed an entertaining and fresh PC game called “Recettear: An Item Shop’s Tale,” created by japanese developer Easy Game Station and translated by an excellent new group called Carpe Fulgur. Today they announced that the game would go on sale on STEAM on Sept 10th, as well as Gamer’s Gate. I know I’m definitely getting this, the only question is WILL YOU? (Say yes.) You can follow Andrew Dice on twitter for continuing news on his game-related endeavors. If you have no idea what Recettear is, read the review, check out the demo, and have fun. Like I said in my review, it’s a fun new take on RPG/soft-sim games, it is engrossing, it is cute, it is accessible yet challenging and it is fun for the whole family.
