The Eye of Judgment - hands-on

Monsters that pop out of cards are cool, but how much of a game is there behind them? We go hands-on to find out

It's only in Judgment mode that your cards can actually fight each other, however. Unfortunately, it doesn't let you watch their battle animations - instead, it just counts down from three and then briefly "kills" the creature(s) who would have lost in a fight. So Judgment is really more of a curiosity and a way to test your cards' battle-worthiness than anything else.

But we kid the game. The Eye of Judgment is a pretty stunning achievement for console technology, and it's got us excited to see what other sorts of things the PlayStation Eye will be able to do. Expect a full review when this hits stores in October.

After graduating from college in 2000 with a BA in journalism, I worked for five years as a copy editor, page designer and videogame-review columnist at a couple of mid-sized newspapers you've never heard of. My column eventually got me a freelancing gig with GMR magazine, which folded a few months later. I was hired on full-time by GamesRadar in late 2005, and have since been paid actual money to write silly articles about lovable blobs.
