Yesterday A Friend Of Mine Asked If Card Games Are My Favorite Type Of Game.
Yesterday a friend of mine asked if card games are my favorite type of game.
I almost said yes, but then I thought:
Cards aren't really a genre of game. Instesd, they're a game component that opens up a multitude of different ways to structure a game. 7 Wonders, Pokemon TCG, and Poker all use cards in radically different games. You can't just label all of them in the same category based on their shared medium; that'd be like saying you like all books or all video games with health bars.
But I said yes anyway, because I do in fact love all 3 of the aforementioned games AND I just really like the fact that cards are self-contained "rule boxes". Very modular. Very demure.
Cards are an S tier game component. Perhaps even the best game component. Is there any game component, physical or otherwise, that even comes close to the versatility and usefulness of cards?
And don't say dice, they're just number generators. Cards can do that too. No, I don't care if they're pretty math rocks, cards are still better. Stay mad.

Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (Nintendo 3DS):
“Second 3DS game that I’ve reviewing and it’s the first time I ever finished a Legend of Zelda game. I admit that I’ve been a stranger to these games for the longest time, but in the last few years I’ve been giving it a chance. I’ve played a bit of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and enjoyed it and would like to beat it someday. I’ve also played Phantom Hourglass and absolutely adored that game. I was planning to play that game but I found this one for a cheaper price and decided to get that one instead. This is quite a fun game. The story is your typical “must save Zelda and friends in order to save your region” type of concept. What makes this game so special is the gameplay. You play as Link and you can use your sword and other items as weapons, your shield to defend and different tools for diverse sections. This game focus a lot on the different tools, so make sure you buy/rent everything that Ravio has to offer. Unlike most Zelda games, in this one you can merge into walls, which makes Link look like a painting. In this form, you’re able to walk on walls (this is a really useful and important gimmick for the whole game). This game is not very linear, so prepare yourself for a lot of exploration, specially on the second half of the game. Graphics wise, this is a pretty game. Really dig some of the small details they added around. The music is pretty decent.
Overall, this is one fun game, and thanks to it that I definily want to play more Legend of Zelda games and review them in the future. I’m definily looking forward to buy Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time (3DS version). It’s a fun game but it can get boring at times. There isn’t much for you to do in this game besides collecting treasure (which usually contain rupees) and to save mini Maimais. “
