Dungeons & Dragons: Tiny Adventures on Facebook
10:40AM Kotaku US Edition | Dungeons & Dragons-mongers Wizards of the Coast have come up with an uber-casual version of the venerable role playing game that just might make it worthwhile signing up for privacy-siphoning office time-sink that is Facebook. Dungeons & Dragons: Tiny Adventures is a Facebook app that lets you create a character, equip them with potions and weapons and them set them off on a (hey!) Tiny Adventure. Your character will send you regular updates from your chosen quest, and because FB is a Social Networking site you can ask your friends to buff them up by throwing potions and other kit your way. Success in the various game events is determined by dice rolls modified by your initial choices. The game server is down at the moment due to heavy demand, but should soon rise again, stronger and more powerful than ever.

Eye Of Judgment Series 2 Cards Hitting US On April 28th
6:20AM Mark Wilson | We had some breaking Eye of Judgment news to tell you, but then we kind of leaked it all in the headline. Regardless, Sony has announced that the formerly delayed Eye of Judgment Series 2 cards will be available April 28th in US stores. The related download (we’re assuming to make the pretty cards work) will be available in the PlayStation Store on April 25th. We’re sorry, we mean the newly redesigned PlayStation Store on April 25th. Set Your Calendars (Again) Series 2 Hits – April 28, 2008 [My Eye of Judgment Community via GayGamer] More »
Magic: The Gathering Coming To XBLA
10:15AM Mike Fahey | Back in December Wizards of the Coast announced a partnership with Stainless Games for an unannounced downloadable game on an unannounced platform, and while I called it with Magic: The Gathering for Xbox Live Arcade, it really was to much of a no-brainer for me to feel all uppity about. While still remaining characteristically vague, WotC has announced plans to extend the M:tG franchise, with Stainless doing a game for Xbox Live Arcade and PC and Mind Control Software doing one for the PC and Mac. “We’re excited to bring the Magic brand to new platforms and give our fans new ways to experience this great property,” said Jared Gustafson, Brand Director for Magic: The Gathering at Wizards of the Coast. As to what exactly the games are going to be…well that’s anyone’s guess, though I am leaning strongly towards card, and not a rehash of the crappy Xbox title Magic: The Gathering – Battlegrounds.
