How Nerdy Can I Be?: Playing Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers

If the title was long or nerdy enough for you, buying it as a console arcade game on the 360 could take the cake.

I was never a player of the game but did enjoy watching people play and of course, the pictures on the cards were really well done. I was one of those closet Magic: The Gathering types.

Now that this game came out for the 360 arcade, I couldn't resist buying it and filling that urge to learn.

The best thing about this game is fact that it caters to 'beginners' like myself with an easy tutorial mode, challenges to help with some advanced combinations of winning and a mode called 'Mentoring' which allows you play with some who should have a higher knowledge of the game to help you learn more.

The game isn't about graphics but is still sound enough to capture the gaming feel.

Playing card games on a console does sound 'unholy' at times but having this game has helped me understand a world that was seperate from my own. Now I can say I am now a computer and magic nerd!
