“Real Time” Card Gaming
There’s a “real time” Call of Duty card gaming coming your way via Upper Deck. You can read about it on the official site here, or as much as I loath pointing you in the direction of the M TeeVee, you can read a play action report here.
While Upper Deck seems to be triumphing the fact that it’s a “real time” card game (referring constantly to it as the “Call of Duty Real-Time Card Game”) I’d hate to break it to them but James Ernest already pioneered the real time card game genre with Brawl. And then Tom Jolly introduced the world to (near) real time board gaming with Camelot.
Expect the game to be out in time to massively market the forthcoming Call of Duty 5, which sadly is back to World War II. Hopefully it won’t be another American/British/Russian campaign. Let’s mix it up. How about Gurkhas/Poles/Dutch resistance? Better yet, how about we finally get a campaign from the Axis perspective? I find it silly that we have no first person shooters from the German perspective. Waaa, the PC crowd might throw a hissy fit. Because as all students of military history know every German soldier during WWII ate babies, tore mattress tags off, and were the spawn of Satan.
