Magic the Gathering latest “Battle for Zendikar”

If you purchased any of the last Magic: the Gathering set Battle for Zendikar you helped Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro have the strongest launch of a Magic set according to ICv2 and Hasbro’s CEO Brian Goldner.  Magic is a strong product at the moment and I don’t think it will slow down any time soon.  Some of our friends are Magic players/collectors and we want to wish them a fun time at the tournaments or pickup games they play.

New Battleship Trailer

Hasbro wants us to like this movie.  Universal has released a new trailer for the Battleship movie.  To me it looks like a mix of G.I. Joe and Transformers SciFi battle to save the earth from aliens.  This movie might be fun if one goes into it for a fun ride and not looking for the next great movie.  You can almost bet Hasbro will also come out with a version of this game, if they already haven’t.  I know they have a few new versions of Battleship on the store shelves, but I really haven’t looked at them. Thanks to YahooMovies for the follow new trailer.

Battleship Galaxies will come with a Graphic Novel

ICv2’s site, linked below, is reporting that the new Battleship Galaxies boardgame, by Hasbro, will come with a graphic novel, printed by IDW Publishing.  Librarians will definitely want to alert their patrons that are gamers, but their patrons that are into comic books and graphic novels might not be aware that the game will come with a graphic novel introduction to the Battleship Galaxies universe and game.  This will also be a good talking point for librarians for both types of patrons to start a conversation.
