Oh, also: Battleforge.

It’s an unlikey X + Y + Z game, where in this case:

X = Magic: The Gathering

Y = Starcraft

Z = World of Warcraft

So it’s pretty much got everything going against it.

Still, it kind of works.

You get cards in booster packs, assemble those cards into decks and then enter into various scenarios. There’s a whole suite of single-player scenarios, many of which are raid-like multiplayer cooperative scenarios. I haven’t tried those yet, but it’s all quite interesting. As a strategy game it works okay, the card-collecting is (as most card collecting mechanics are) strangely compelling, and the online component is pretty well done. It’s worth a play, since it’s free right now. Hit me up if you want a beta key, I have 3 of them available.
