In studio: Lee, Jody Macgregor, Razor and Candi Payne.
Finally, the gaping void between Soccer and Demolition Derby has been filled with the release of Psyonix’s Rocket League (PS4/PC). Card Hunter (PC) is a careful blend of the collectible card game (CCG) and a tabletop board game.

Magic: The Gathering:
The first expansion of the new block “Innistrad” launches next week, but this weekend magic players worldwide get their first taste of the new set.
The horror themed set introduces a few new mechanics and brings back some old ones. Probably the most interesting new addition are “Double Faced Cards”; these represent creatures (or planeswalkers) that can transform into other, more powerful forms. For example, a human shepherd that transforms into a werewolf if certain conditions are met.
For MTG veterans, Pre-Releases are the best way to get the new cards early while having fun exploring the new content. For magic newbies, Pre-Releases are a fantastic introduction to the game because of the non-competitive atmosphere and the level playing ground.
Ace Comics & Games at Annerley are holding events all weekend, starting tonight at midnight with the traditional “Midnight Draft” for those hardcore players who simply cannot wait until Saturday to play with the cards.
Then on both Saturday and Sunday, registration begins at 10:30am for the Sealed events.
