For those of you who missed out on the Official PlayStation Blog's free Eye of Judgment card giveaway last Friday, do not fret! The response for the free cards was so overwhelming that they've decided to go another round. This Friday at 5PM Pacific you can hit up the OPB and submit your email for another chance at the increasingly less rare set two promo cards. I myself completely forgot about the promotion last week, so I welcome the chance to completely forget it again this week. What was I writing about again?

THE EYE OF JUDGMENT- FREE CARD FRIDAY RESULTS [Official PlayStation Blog - Thanks Velglarn!]

Sony is sorry that the 2nd set of Eye of Judgment cards were subject to delay in North America, and to make up for it, they're giving away three rare cards next Friday. The Eye of Judgment Set 2 Promo cards to be exact, a set of three special cards that form a big image when placed together. To get the cards, watch the Official PlayStation Blog next Friday, and be one of the first few hundred who registers with their mailing address for your chance to get your hands on these three rarities. I'll be keeping an eye out myself, and I'll be sure to let you guys know when sign ups start...once I've registered, of course.

Eye of Judgment Is Way Cheaper On Amazon

I'm sure that I'm not the only one who has been scoping out the PlayStation Eye pack with Eye of Judgment for a few months now, but was thwarted by the $70 price tag. Now, for whatever reason, Amazon is selling the bundle for $45 (w/free shipping) while other retailers seem to have stood firm at the old price.

I think that this price reduction, coupled with my hopes of uber tank awesomeness making its way to PSN, will cause me to drop some cash later today.

Eye of Judgment Set Two Cards in Sony's Hands

Eye of Judgment players will be happy to hear that Sony has received US Set Two cards from partners Wizards of the Coast. There is no release information or many details, but the Playstation Blog has posted a small gallery of six of the new cards: Dwarf Sniper, Elven Soul Hunter, Archiver, Aluhjan Spellshield, Aluhja Inquisitrix and Partmole Warhound. This will be the first new set of cards since the Playstation Eye powered card battle game hit store shelves last year.

The Eye of Judgment: The Furniture of Sanity

Cloth maps used to be a pretty big deal, back when Ultima IV was packing them in, thwarting Xerox machines everywhere. In the case of The Eye of Judgment, however, they tend to be more a source of frustration than of nerdy shouts of "Cool!". Reader Matt had it up to here (see forehead) with the included fabric play mat, easily bumped camera and need for constant lighting, so he built a custom EOJ table for himself and his sons to use when playing the PlayStation 3 collectible card game.

As fans of the PlayStation Eye title will note, who have probably played the man who goes by the handle Havok, the layout of the wooden play area is aesthetically in-keeping with the game's logo. Throw a couple beverage holders on the side and you've got a retail ready product.

Good work and smart thinkin', Matt. Thanks for the tip.

More of Eye of Judgment Coming to Japan

This Eye of Judgment schwag isn't just neat, it actually is useful. Sony sent me a black faux leather sack and a metal card carrying case. You put your Eye of Judgment deck in the case and then slip the case into a tiny pocket sewn into the sack. I assume you put the head of your defeated enemy in the rest of the bag after the game... or maybe it's for carting around the camera, stand and playfield. Neah, its gotta be for the heads.

Eye of Judgment Card Creating Easier Than Expected?

EyeCreate Spied On PlayStation Store

Sony has added the promised EyeCreate video editing software to the North American PlayStation Store today, a small 9MB download that will allow users to capture video, audio and photos, edit them, use special effects such as color filters, distortions, art filters and motion trails, and export them to the PlayStation 3's video folder. The software requires a PlayStation Eye camera, something most of us won't have until The Eye of Judgment and the standalone retail version of the Eye arrive on store shelves this week.

I'm PlayStation Eye-less at this point, but fully plan on cobbling together sexy performances of "Hungry Like The Wolf", saturated with comely air-clawing motions, when SingStar finally ships.

So many good games coming out this week I'm afraid my bank account is going to take quite a beating. Eye of Judgment, Zak and Wiki, Ratchet & Clank, Jericho and Castlevania are all on my short list of games to get this week although one or two of them may have to wait until the cash magically replenishes itself.

Gabe and Tycho are Eye of Judgment savants. The two have been obsessing over the game since they played it in San Diego at Comic Con earlier this year.

So when they read that I had the game set-up in my gaming room, Tycho pinged me to see if I'd like to play a match. Which was great, because I'm working on a review of the game and really wanted to get more of a taste for the online play, besides what I'd seen playing it against the Sony rep.

Match one ended quickly, the cards barely used as Tycho handed me my ass in the game. The next week, yesterday in fact, Tycho asked if I was up for another game. Sure, I said. Great, we'll set up a game...

We?

Oh, Tycho forgot to mention that Gabe, master of the Pokedeck, was joining him in the pwnage. They play coop you see, sitting around their table wearing velvet robes, I suspect, plotting my demise and cackling over my misfortunes.

I tried a little idle smack talk before we launched into our second match, this one powered by a deck I had recently built just for the occasion. The game was even shorter, and results even juicier in pwnage. Dammit.

While I can't decide if this is a game that will maintain my interest, it's certainly one that has captured it momentarily and it's not because of the visual gimmicks.
