The Surprising Success of Retail Game Cards
7:30AM Maggie Greene | I had an interesting discussion this week on the topic of microtransaction models, East-West interaction, and the fact that few people pay much attention to such issues (or dismiss them out of hand); Games In Motion has a nice interview up illustrating the ‘fly under the radar’ nature of a lot of those microtransaction models.

Eye of Judgment Deck Building Tips
4:00AM Flynn De Marco | With the release of the second series of Eye of Judgment cards right around the corner many players are casting critical eye to their current decks.
