Game names corrected by spell check (Feature)

Jun 5, 2008

You know that red line that pops up in Word, Firefox or any other program with a spell check?

And that's what happens countless times every second across the world when people type in video game names - ...

Culcept Saga (Review)

They are the incorrigible type of bastards who lay siege over dorm rooms until the wee hours of the morning with their boxes and boxes of cards, snarfing up all your beer and pizza along the way. Playing through Culdcept Saga, which blends Magic's card-style combat with a Monopoly-esque board game, we can’t help but understand the ...

Culdcept Saga demo added to Xbox Live Marketplace (News)

Dec 5, 2007

From the article: "Culdcept was one of the greatest underappreciated games the PlayStation 2 had to offer. It was a bizarre mashup of Monopoly's property buying and Magic: The Gathering's monster battling with cards. It's really a game who have to experience for yourself to truly get a feel for.

Because of that, Xbox 360 owners are in luck today as a demo of the sequel, Culdcept Saga, is now up on the Xbox Live Marketplace. "

Culdcept SAGA (Preview)

Jun 15, 2007

Culdcept SAGA is one of those games that doesn't look like much at all. It's not cutting-edge pretty, its card-based gameplay don't look immediately compelling, and you may well find yourself asking, "What's the point?" But if you play it, you'll be hooked forever. Publisher Namco Bandai's bright, sticky ball-roller Katamari Damacy was that way for some. And Culdcept SAGA, with its compulsive mix of collectible cards and its board game accessibility, is all set to be just as unassumingly ...

Culdcept Saga (Preview)

Jan 5, 2007

Trading card games arent just for social outcasts like the Comic Book Store Guy. Culdcept Sagas hook is that it connects you to other players, encouraging Xbox Live-based online play. So consider us sold. Culdcept Saga begins with a very RPG-esque scene of an encounter between your character (whom you can edit and name before even setting out) and a princess who senses that you have some very powerful magic cards on your person. There are cutscenes, with plenty of dialogue, but it only takes a ...
