I admit that I've watched a few episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh! but in my defense I had to google the correct spelling.

Stop judging me ...

The Eye of Judgement is pretty much what I expected to see from a Yu-Gi-Oh title. Unlike many previous Eye Toy games which left me with a big 'eh' this one is definitely intriguing - judging by the video below it could also be one of the most unique camera based games to hit the "next-gen" consoles.

Yes, the trailer / tech demo below is overloaded with some catch phrases but the action shown within may outweigh the annoyance factor. It could be my history with collectible card games but I'm really curious about how the The Eye of Judgment is gonna turn out.

We'll be watching it closely,

Don't be fooled ... this isn't a totally new game mechanic. Early in the PlayStation 2's life cycle a game was released that offered players a unique take on FPS action. A mechanic dubbed "Geo Mod" (aka geometry modification) was used in a game called Red Faction and was aimed at revolutionizing the first person shooter genre.

Using the typical array of FPS weapons a player was able to alter the game environment and attack enemies with various new techniques. Using a rocket launcher, for example, you could drill holes through rock or concrete so as to attack hidden enemies or collapse a ceiling to take out groups of foot-soldiers. The original Red Faction, not the crappy sequel, was revolutionary in it's presentation. It's amazing to me that a solid sequel never arrive.
