Gaming Signal: From The WTF Department

From The WTF Department

Sony Online and WizKids have teamed up to bring us the most exciting online game evar! That's right, WizKids' Pirates Constructible Strategy Game can now be played online!

WTF? Seriously. Is that game that big of a hit that we need an online version? Much like MtG Online, you buy virtual decks, input the code, and now you have cards that you can use to build your ships and fight it out amongst other gamers. I'm not exactly sure how that works, I'm assuming the ships you get are already assembled and ready to go. Heck, you can even buy a 'box' of digital game packs for your collection. Nice to see Sony and WizKids making money off of virtual cards. You get nothing buyt virtual cards for your hard earned $$$.

I think that the new Chaotic Card Game has it right. Each card has a unique code on it which you enter online. You now have a physical copy of the card and a virtual copy that you can use to play against others online. Now that is good. Sony/WizKids' idea? Not so sweet.
