We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
This might be one Trading Card Game libraries will be interested in that have gaming collections and tournaments. Upper Deck is working on a Marvel Universe deck building game. It is being designed by Devin Low, formerly of Magic: The Gathering. This game is fairly familiar in that players will battle each other, but it has one twist, the game itself has built in villains that attack the players trying to destroy them. No release date is scheduled yet and the working title is Legendary.
These two titles are ones that your library will want to place on order for your video game collection: Pokemon Black Version 2 and Pokemon: White Version 2. The Pokemon YouTube channel has posted an animated short as a game trailer to introduce the titles to the English market. The games will be released in North America October 7, Australia on October 11 and Europe on October 12. They have already been released in Japan.
