When did it become about the consoles and not about the games themselves? I couldn't give two terrapin's tits about the system so long as the games are good and don't look like crap on my TV.
Fixed for wiiness.
Suggesting visuals matter in a visual medium?
Possibly a neckbeard who hates casuals, must investigate further.

pretty sure it's been about the console wars since nintendo and sega went at it
I have been playing the elf deck recently that I unlocked. It gets rolling and man its insane. I think the blue deck out of the mono-colors is the most powerful of all of them. Which isn't surprising since it is a flying creature/control deck which is a good combo.
the black/red/green deck I was playing yesterday is pretty badass
I wanted to love Little Big Planet so much, but the actual game is so annoying. Super-floaty physics-based controls do not mesh with 2.5 platforming at all.
Like I have all this hardware and what do I play the most of? Free Flash games.
Tarr, are you still playing that green deck?
I only have green and red right now, still working against white. maybe there is a way to unlock some other decks, I will look around.
I have been trying red though since it has more fliers...terrible fliers, but fliers none the less.
my last game, the enemy got out two 0/4 flying walls at the start that paralyzed any offensive attempts I could make for a while. I finally got two 5/4s out. Then she buffed one of her walls to be 1/6, and pacified one of my 5/4s, rendering my set impotent...once again!
after that it was mainly her getting one of those bloody retarded +3/+3 +Flying until end of turn cards and slowly whittling me down.
Red is about control. Or to be more accurate, it's about controlling the correct amount of fire you're going to apply to any given situation. Your options range from purge it withfire, to leaving a small crater to nuking it from orbit. With the exception of lava axe, you're generally best served by using your direct damage to remove problem creatures.
It doesn't matter how good Killzone 3 looks - it's about as interesting as a Michael Bay movie.
I am not going to play it for the sole reason that it really annoyed me that the protagonist is wearing a t-shirt in what looks like the fucking arctic
My main complaint is all the combo decks are Black+whatever. I hate black, one of my least favorite colors to play. I want a red-green forest fire deck. Or land destruction deck! At least the green/black is an elf deck so I can have like 20 tokens in play which are all like 12/12 by the end of the game.
The base green deck needs lanowar elves and birds of paradise to get the mana flowing early so you can get the big fucking behemoths out fast.

The lines were crazy long and I didn't get to play. On Wednesday I even arrived an hour before the doors opened and when i got in there was still a mad line. I didn't get a look-in. Same with Mortal Kombat.
Rock Band 3 and Portal 2 were probably my choice titles this year.
I judged MvC3 against my "am I good at it?" quality indicator for fighting games. Usually if I'm great at a fighting game it's awful (e.g. Body Blows, Rise of the Robots, Dangerous Streets). If I'm terrible it's a great game (Street Fighter, MvC, etc.). The exception to this rule is Mortal Kombat II. ANyway, I sucked at MvC3 which means it's the best fighting game ever. Or something.
Tron: Evolution is like Tron meets Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. I cannot argue with this.
I also played a PS3 game by SOE, the name of which escapes me, but it's like a Tetris/Puzzle Fighter/brawl mashup. Loved it.
It was 10 bucks, thats a starter deck. Has enough decks to keep me entertained and I don't have to pay for boxes of expansion packs to build one.
Oh yeah, there's no way I'd actually play magic these days. I enjoy it far more as an armchair thought exercise than something I'd actually pay money for.

Same here, motion control is way too immersion breaking for me.

I love Ocelot so much.
I picked up the MGS comic just because of one of the awesome covers with him on it.

It feels so slow and clunky, but I'm not really sure how to solve that problem.
really though, not being able to build a custom deck killed that game for me.
Lock down the board with burn and stomp him with your own creatures.
Man, I miss the Izzet guild. Blue/Red is such an awesome combo.
dang
ok
skippy's name is alexander

no it isn't
You went to E3? Nice. How is the 3D on the 3Ds?
Any titles in general that stood out to you?

A Scanner Darkly is so good.

duh. skippy's name is skippy!
It needs more squirrels.
in your tongue, yes
I can't build a rat deck or an undead horde/zombie control(coffin queens and the like) so black in online magic game sucks.
Oh, right, I keep forgetting you guys are talking about some weird form of magic where you can't build your own decks.
