It's the dawn of a new way to interact with the PLAYSTATION 3 system as an innovative
game comes to life.

Developed exclusively for PS3 in collaboration with trading cards expert Hasbro, The Eye
of Judgment presents a new style of gameplay where the ground-breaking technology of
PLAYSTATION®Eye brings fantasy characters and monsters to life as they battle in 3D.

Through the use of the 9 Fields Battle Mat and Summoning cards, players conquer the field
of play by selecting a card and placing it in front of PLAYSTATION Eye. As battle
commences, you watch the characters come to life and battle it out for supremacy.

Each character has various attributes which will determine the outcome of the battle.
Players take turns to place cards as they jostle for control of the play area.

The Eye of Judgment is made possible by the card-reading abilities of the next generation
PLAYSTATION Eye camera and PS3. Each card features a unique code which the camera
reads, allowing PS3 to create High Definition animated characters and meld them
seamlessly into the on-screen camera view. It's a revolutionary application of the latest
technology to a much-loved card gaming format that will captivate players of all ages.

The game comes with a starter pack of 30 character and spell - plus 4 function - cards. A
total of more than 100 cards will be available at launch, which can be purchased
separately in stores, with a variety of themed decks available from major retail chains
across Europe. Trade, swap and build your deck for the ultimate battle.

• A new way to play: this is the first example of the possibilities of camera gaming on PS3
• Choose from over 100 different Summoning cards to do battle with & from creatures to
  spells & and play with your cards even when you're away from your PS3
• A range of data expansion discs and card decks planned for release, continually
  refreshing and changing gameplay strategies
• Eight-card booster deck included with the game

The Eye of Judgment is a turn-based card battle game using the PlayStation Eye camera peripheral and a 3x3 rectangular table mat with real trading cards. The camera not only recognizes the cards (using CyberCode matrix codes), but also the position and the rotation. The mat represents a battlefield where players can summon creatures and cast spells.

The story takes place in a fictional world, shaped by The Source. Mankind's vain leads to the construction of the Bioliths, devices of iron to help defeat the gods. After a long war, Jeano, the son on the Source, turns all the devices to rust. Eventually, after a time of re-establishment, four sages found four different nations: fire, water, earth and wood. There is a time of peace, until a mechanical fortress appears in the sky and the Biolith surprise attack wipes out 3 of the 4 nations. The remaining one, wood, receives a message to send a lone wizard to Cape Edgeworth with a single chance to defeat the Biolith Castle.

The game can played through singleplayer (adventure with a path and different kinds of opponents), head-to-head modes, or online. Through the camera, movement is tracked and the creatures seem to come to life on the screen. Each turn, players move a card, rotate it or change its position. The abilities change according to the position and placing a card face-up summons a creature. While attacking, the screen shifts to a battle mode where spells can be used. The center area is always Biolith, while the others are randomly divided over the 4 different elements, influencing the abilities and providing bonuses or weaknesses to certain creatures. Action are performed through mana, received at the beginning of a turn or through certain cards. The first player to capture 5 areas of the field, wins.

Neat tricks with the camera include a profile mode where the player can hold a card in front of the camera to view the information and interact with the creature.

The base game comes with 30 summoning and 4 function cards, and a booster pack with 8 additional summoning cards (5 common, 2 uncommon, 1 rare or ultra rare). Additional packs can be bought separately.
