It was a score, we picked it up for $25 it retails for $80
Specs of the device are also pretty cool it does 640x480@60fps or 320x240@120fps.
Omnidirectional mic that can echo cancel and hone in on voice wherever you are in the room and works in low light as well.

Has anyone played Eye of Judgement? it looks pretty cool but I have read mixed reviews of it.
I was thinking of getting the camera for the kids to mess around with and I just found someone selling Eye of Judgement on ebay with the camera and extra cards for about £40 delivered, which looks like quite a good deal.

I've got Eye of Judgment. I like it a lot and have put quite a few hours into playing it. The game itself is fun, has a lot of depth in its strategy and can be very addictive.

It's not without issues though:

- Lighting conditions have to be right.

Make sure your playing area is well-lit. Make sure the cards aren't reflecting light directly into the camera. Play with the in-game camera settings. The camera card detection can work very well, but it is dependent on a good environment.


- Booster cards are difficult to get.

Ebay is your friend here, but even on ebay cards aren't as easy to find as they used to be. Set 3 cards are especially hard to find.

Brick and mortar stores haven't sold cards for ages, and even specialty card stores have given up on them (at least in Australia).


- Set-up is a barrier to playing

For a while I just left my EoJ mat and camera out and set-up in front of the TV, but when I moved on to a different game I put everything away and haven't touched it since. (Actually I did get it out once when Sony added trophies.)


- Online opponents are tough

Especially at this stage in the game's life - the only players left are the die-hard fans who hunt down the individual cards necessary to create the perfect deck. I've got quite a few cards and (I thought) a pretty decent deck. But I still lose 9/10 games online.

Strategy and luck matters too, of course - even great decks won't win 100% of games, but they do help. Getting together a decent deck can be expensive though.

I always thought playing with a friend would be preferrable, since at least then you can still have a laugh while you lose. But I never knew anyone else with a copy.

I have eye of Judgment. Had heaps of fun playing it with my son, but I have not tried online.

Does get expensive if you want to play competitively though as you need to buy lots of cards and "pack upgrades" to use the different collections of cards (I think they are up to three now??).

Thanks for the info guys, it sounds good but I'll give it a miss as I can't be arsed messing around buying the extra card packs.

I've just pre-ordered Eyepet (with the cam included) for £25.99 from Amazon, my 3 year old daughter will love it.
