Yes, there was a card game sensation before Pokémon, and it was called MAGIC: The Gathering. Now gamers can bring the MAGIC experience off the card table and onto their PlayStations. For those unfamiliar with the series, you play as a magician who summons monsters, spells, and effects to combat other players/magicians. If you are victorious, you are awarded you opponent's cards, which you can then use to summon more monsters, spells, and effects. The gameplay is real-time strategy, so gamers will have to have quick hands and quicker wits to defeat the computer. All of the cards from the original game are represented, so longtime fans of the series should look forward to meeting some old friends in real time with MAGIC: The Gathering.
