Yugioh Card Of The Week: 6/08/13

Sorry about the long hiatus its been really hectic. Anyways today's card is the Heavenly Sword Excalibur from Soul Ea... I mean Heroic Champion Excalibur. This card is a really powerful exceed card with a pretty strong effect although its cost is rather high as well. It allows you to double its original attack until the end phase so you should use this only in the dire of circumstances. Not sure who uses this card or even if it was in the show since I haven't been watching Zexal recently but what I can say is that this card can do pretty well in warrior theme decks.

Yugioh Card of the Week: 4/12/13

To start off April we will bring you the latest Yugioh Card of the Week and this time we step away from the 5Ds era and now heading to Zexal.   This week we will be focusing on non other then Yuma's favorite card NBumber 39: Utopia.  Exceed Cards work similar to Synchros except instead of adding monster card levels this time you use monsters with the same levels.  To summon Utopia you will need two monsters with same level in order to summon it.  However Exceed cards work differently then any other card in the game.  This is because instead of sacrificing the monsters and putting them in the graveyard they actually go under the Exceed monsters as shields and used for other effects.  Utopia's power allows you to use one of the monsters under it as a shield to protect its destruction which is a quite handy effect.  Also whats good about Exceed monsters is that they are even easier to summon then Synchros so its easier to pull off the winning play.  If you haven't started using Exceed monsters I suggest you should start off with Utopia since he is one of the easier monsters to summon and has a pretty nifty effect to go along with it. 

Yugioh Card of the Week: 3/27/13

In the last installments of Yugioh Cards of the Week we featured cards that were either fan favorites or Main Character Signature Cards.  This week we are going really obscure at least compared to the earlier weeks.  This weeks card is Super Sonic Skull Flame.  Now this card is kind of special because its the first card made   that actually changed its Atk from the anime version to the real life version.  Normally its just effects that change but this time its also his base Attack points is strange. In the Anime it was actually 3000 Atk points for his base stats but in the real game Konami reduced it to 2600.  Its possible that they changed because his effect would pretty much bring him back to 3000 anyway but who knows.  This card surprisingly is the first time I don't recommend using unless you got three copies of the game when it was released or got the Skull Flames separately.  Yea for this week I am actually talking about a card not recommended to play just because his effect would force you to get multiple copies of another card just to use the card for its full potential.  If it weren't a game promo I would say that the card would be okay to use but due to its effect I personally think not many players should use this card unless they really want to or if you somehow got a hold of the other cards.

Gaming News: Castlevania film in development, In middle in filming.

In a surprising announcement today, an iconic Star Trek: TNG alum announced that not only he had a part in the in development hell film adaptation of the classic Konami game series, Castlevania but also, said adaptation is already in the middle of filming.


In the recent episode of the Nerdist podcast hosted by Chris Hardwick, Michael Dorn who is more famous for playing  Lt. Wolf in Star Trek: TNG and The U.S. President in the second half of Season 3 of Heroes, announced that he's playing a werewolf in the upcoming film.



Dorn quoted: "It's a fun little part. It's four days and I'm playing a werewolf that's been around for a gajillion years who works for this vampire. It's not too far from Worf (Dorn's most notable role) because there's a lot of killing and jumping and sword fights and everything." 



With additional details from another interview courtesy of StarTrek.com, he revealed that he go involved with the film through fellow TNG cast member, Marina Sirtis. Sirtis is famously known for playing Commander Denna Tori in The Next Generation.


No other details such as director, writer(s), producers or other cast/crew members have been confirmed as of yet, but with this recent development it's likely that we will hear more news in the recent weeks to come.
