I’m not a huge fan of FPS on consoles mainly because controllers don’t quite lend themselves to the precision that a mouse does. Maybe it’s just me.

The Eye of Judgment

Since then everyone seems to have tried their hand at latching onto that popularity, and now we have collectable card games based on anything from Bratz to World of Warcraft and even Penny Arcade. If you can think of a topic, they’ve probably made a CCG for it.
WotC’s latest development is Eye of Judgment, a CCG that uses Sony’s PlayStation Eye technology to display the monster or spell depicted on the cards as you play them.
