Marvel Trading Card Game is a video game for the Nintendo DS, PC, and PlayStation Portable. It was developed by Vicious Cycle Software and 1st Playable Productions and published by Konami. The game is based on Upper Deck Entertainment's Marvel Comics-based collectible card game, and was released across all three platforms in several regions in 2007.
Marvel Trading Card Game is a virtual card game in which the player chooses to be either a superhero or supervillain in single-player mode. Multiplayer modes are also available. The game follows the rules laid out in Upper Deck's VS System, used in card games across several franchises including Marvel, DC Comics, and Hellboy.
The game received mixed reviews from critics. It was considered faithful to the physical version, but reviewers commented that it was not accessible to players who weren't already fans of collectible card games. The handheld versions were criticized for presenting a visual format inappropriate for small screens.

Gameplay[edit | edit source]
Main article: VS System
Marvel Trading Card Game is a collectible card game with similarities to other card games, like Magic: The Gathering.[1] The game was designed to portray the VS System rules exactly the same as the physical version,[2] created by baseball card manufacturer Upper Deck Entertainment.[3] Players start each match with a premade deck of cards,[1] from which they draw a number of cards to form a hand. Cards in the hand can be subsequently put into play, and each card represents a character or ability that is played against similar cards possessed by the opponent.[4]

Matches are formatted into segmented turns during which players can act.[4] Each turn a player draws two cards to add to their hand,[5] and cards in a hand can be put onto the playing field. The playing field is made of up individual rows where cards can be placed; there are six rows for each player.[6] Cards are played by spending "resource points" which act as a form of energy. The more powerful a card is, the more resource points are required to play it.[1] Resource points are gained by specifically assigning any card in the hand to a resource row,[7] and only one card can be made into a resource each turn.[4] More powerful cards, such as Magneto, require a higher available pool of resources and so can only be played in later turns in a match.[1] Once put into play from the player's hand, a card can be used to provide a benefit to the player or to attack the opponent.[8] Types of cards include characters, such as Onslaught and Namor;[1] each character has an attack and defense rating that represents how much damage they can inflict and sustain.[4] Other cards include locations and equipment, which can be used to boost the statistics and abilities of characters,[8] and "plot twists" which encompass a wide range of effects, such as forcing an opponent to forfeit some of the cards in their hand.[4] Each player has a life bar that is depleted with each successful attack by an opponent, and a player loses the match when their life bar is empty.[9]

Whenever a card in play is activated or otherwise used, such as resources, it is referred to as "tapped" and is generally unavailable for further use until the next turn. Unlike Magic, however, characters can attack and defend in the same turn, unless they are "stunned" in combat. Damage is calculated by adding the difference between an attacking character's attack and the defending character's defense, plus the resource cost of the card. Any damage not absorbed by a defending character is applied to the player's life total.[9] The location of a card on the playing field can affect its statistics; in order to attack, characters further away from the opponent must possess a projectile weapon or the ability to fly, for instance.[4] Adjacent characters with a matching team affiliation within the Marvel universe can also reinforce one another's attack and defense,[7] such as the Spider Friends and X-Men.[9] Cards activating an ability can be countered by the opponent,[10] and these abilities and counters combine to form a "chain" that dictates the order in which their effects are applied.[9]
Single-player[edit | edit source]
Marvel Trading Card Game's single-player mode allows the player to choose one of two different campaigns; one for heroes and one for villains. Both campaigns are based around the Sentinels. Each campaign contains six chapters, with each chapter represented by a series of card matches. The chapters are different for heroes and villains with the exception of the final chapter.[11] Some matches have additional requirements for victory beyond reducing an opponent's health to zero.[11] Completing missions awards the player booster packs and virtual money that can be used to purchase additional cards in the in-game card shop.[1]
Multiplayer[edit | edit source]
Each version of the game offers multiplayer support.[12] The PC version allows players to play over the internet or a local area network.[4] Players can trade cards among one another and participate in matches and tournaments, some of which were sponsored by Konami.[13] PSP owners can play Marvel Trading Card Game with the console's local wireless "ad-hoc" mode or online against other PSP and PC players.[2] The DS version can be used for both local- and internet-based two-player games,[14] but is incompatible for tournament use.[7] Cards earned in the single-player campaign cannot be used in multiplayer games,[15] but they were available for purchase with actual money in an online store until Konami suspended the service.[9][16]
Development[edit | edit source]
In August 2005, video game publisher Konami acquired an exclusive license to make games based on Upper Deck's Marvel collectible card game.[17] Konami had published previous titles based on card games, such as the Yu-Gi-Oh! series.[18] Marvel Trading Card Game was formally announced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) video game convention in May 2006. Konami explained that the game would use Upper Deck's "VS System" rules and would be available for the DS, PSP, and PC consoles. It was to have both single-player and multiplayer modes for all three systems, and the PC and PSP versions would be cross-compatible.[13] Konami promised that it would host online tournaments, complete with prizes.[19] The PSP and PC versions were developed by Vicious Cycle Software, and the DS version was outsourced to New York-based designer 1st Playable Productions.[6]
From the beginning of development, Vicious Cycle wanted players on all three consoles to be able to play against each other online.[6] This option was ultimately not implemented for the DS. Lead designer Dave Ellis said "...development time and platform limitations didn't permit our DS developers to pursue that option, so the DS version was ultimately limited to Wi-Fi and online play with other DS players." The PSP and PC versions allow players to use the same matchmaking system, and the game's code is linked so that if one platform is patched, the other must be as well.[11] Players with a PC can download and use the online component of the game for free.[20]

The plot in the single-player mode of Marvel Trading Card Game was composed by Marvel writer John Layman, and the cutscenes were drawn by comic artists like Keron Grant and Pat Olliffe.[21] Early in the development process, the design team had considered portraying the player's avatar as a character within the game's story, but this idea was eventually discarded, and the game does not explain the player's role. The plot, which revolves around the group of robotic enemies of the X-Men known as Sentinels, was created because in real life, competitive play in the Marvel card game community was focused on Sentinel decks around the time of Marvel Trading Card Game's development. Around 300 separate decks were created by the design team for the single-player mode, and AI opponents use a more challenging deck if they are played against more than once.[11]
The game contains over 1,100 cards,[6] and includes cards from select expansion sets in the physical version, like the Avengers and the Fantastic Four. PC and PSP owners can download the X-Men expansion set online for free. Over four hundred characters are represented, with over a hundred as specific entries in the story mode.[2] Artwork for cards was provided by artists such as Alex Garner and Adam Kubert.[12] Whenever a player completes a chapter in the story mode, they are awarded a five-card booster pack.[11] The game includes a deck editor that allows players to create and modify decks as they see fit.[2]
Marvel Trading Card Game was released for the PSP in February 27, 2007 in North America, June 8 in Europe, and July 6 in Australia.[22] The DS version was released on May 22 in North America, July 25 in Europe, and on August 3 in Australia.[23] The PC version was released on June 8 in Europe and July 3 in North America, and included a limited edition.[24]
Online community[edit | edit source]
Online matchmaking and the card store were opened in tandem with the PSP version's North American release.[25] PC players used the same services when their version was released.[26] The matchmaking service, the website, store, and other online features were maintained by Agora Games,[27] a gaming company that specializes in online communities.[28] Konami offered players sanctioned tournaments and downloadable card packs.[25] On March 12, 2008, Konami announced that it was closing down the website's forums and the online store. Matchmaking and online play would continue to be available to the public, but all cards would be made available for free to all accounts.[29]
" "As we pass our one year anniversary, Konami has decided to transition the site to a free service. All cards in all accounts will be made available, and we will continue the service as long as there is a strong desire for it from the community." "
~ Charles Murakami, Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.[29]
Reception[edit | edit source]
GamesRadar 6/10[30] 6/10[10]
GameSpot 6.5[31] 6.5[4] 6.5[32]
GameZone 5.3/10[33] 6.7/10[9]
IGN 6.7/10[34] 6.8/10[1]
X-Play [35] [15]
Metacritic 61/100[36] 63/100[37]
Reception of Marvel Trading Card Game across all three platforms was mixed.[36][37][38] The game was compared to other collectible card games such as Pokémon, Magic, and Munchkin.[4][9][34] Reviewers were pleased with the game's representation of the VS System rules,[7][31] but felt that it was less accessible to players who weren't familiar with the physical version.[15][39] Several reviews referred to the gameplay as addictive;[9][15] IGN's Hilary Goldstein said "I have to admit, I am somewhat addicted to the Marvel Trading Card Game. It's not a great game by any measure, but it does an excellent job of tapping into the collector's mentality of comic-book fans."[34]
The game's difficulty, especially the complexity of the VS System ruleset, was described as a potential barrier for gamers.[5][33] PALGN said "Even though there are a handful of in-game tutorials, they aren't entirely utilised efficiently as they're basically just a big slab of text making the game less friendly towards a wider audience."[7] GamesRadar's Eric Bratcher said "If you aren't familiar with the source, get ready for a very steep learning curve."[8] One X-Play reviewer commented that the game's tutorial "might go down in history as the worst in-game tutorial ever created,"[35] and another said that gamers who would be most interested in the video game would already be avid players of the physical version.[15]
"Overall, while Marvel Trading Card Game for the Nintendo DS does a reasonable job of recreating the real life game, the experience is slightly hampered by a cramped layout."
Joseph Rositano, PALGN[7]
On the handheld versions, many reviewers complained that Marvel Trading Card Game's layout made it difficult to play, as there wasn't enough room on the small screens for the playing field of a match.[5][7][39] IGN referred to the presentation and visuals as "abysmal".[34] GameSpot described the game's portrayal of plot twist chains as "an alien tax return".[32] The text on individual cards on the PSP version was considered difficult to read,[1][9] but the DS format of holding the console sideways to play was praised.[7][31]
Reviewers praised the gameplay options available to players,[4][5] although GameZone described the story mode as "bland" and IGN called it "too long for its own good".[9][34] Multiplayer gameplay was well received.[7][10][15] GameSpot called the multiplayer "surprisingly solid" and Pocket Gamer described the choice of online modes as "a raft of pleasing multiplayer options."[4][5] IGN said of the PSP version "Though MTCG's single-player is fairly deep and enjoyable, the focus is on multiplayer...It's only through the infrastructure online mode that you can access the aspects of MTCG that make it worth the $30 purchase."[1]

The Supreme Court Is Being Forced To Waste A Year
Congress Featured Post National News Politics Top News
Mike Tokars May 22, 2016
Last Monday, the United States Supreme Court provided no ruling on whether employers should be required by law to provide women with access to contraceptives at no-cost. The court's decision not to decide is the first major installment in what looks to be an ongoing plague of uncertainty in the judicial branch.
The case was Zubrik v. Burwell, brought by 29 religious nonprofits that object to offering female employees insurance coverage for certain contraceptives they equate to abortion, as would be normally required by law under the Affordable Care Act. Instead of ruling, SCOTUS sent the case back down to the lower courts.
This suit has been heard many times already by a number of courts, all but one of which established that religious organizations were exempt from the law. Based on the prior decisions, returning the case to the lower courts can be seen as a de facto win for the religious groups, but both sides dressed the non-answer up in press release speak. Either way, litigation will continue.
In an interview with the New York Times, attorney David Cortman of the Christian nonprofit organization Alliance Defending Freedom — which represents some of the challengers — said, "The Supreme Court was right to protect the Christian colleges and other groups from having to pay fines or fill out forms authorizing the objectionable coverage. The government has many other ways to ensure women are able to obtain these drugs without forcing people of faith to participate in acts that violate their deepest convictions."
Gretchen Borchelt, vice president for reproductive rights at the National Women's Law Center, told the L.A. Times she saw the outcome as good for women, saying "[t]he government can now move forward to assure women have seamless access to the contraceptive coverage. We're not happy there will still be more litigation, but this should pave the way for women to get full coverage."
In any case, the White House is pleased. Press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters the decision will "allow millions of women across the country to continue to get the health coverage that they need," while upholding religious liberty. President Obama, in an interview with Buzzfeed News, said he wasn't sure why SCOTUS "punted" this case, but he suspects the court would have reached a different outcome had nine justices been present.
Since the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in February SCOTUS has balanced on a too-even keel, with four sitting conservatives and four liberals, and has deadlocked twice. The court's punting likely stemmed from justices' desire to avoid another 4-4 deadlock, which is an unfavorable outcome that leaves the law undefined and resolves nothing. Without a ninth member the court cannot effectively form the decisive majority that is needed to establish law. And because Senate Republicans have vowed to disallow Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland — citing the bogus precedent that it has been 80 years since a Commander in Chief picked a justice during a presidential election year — SCOTUS may end up stuck in this stagnant, gridlocked limbo until 2017.
Speaking to the New York Times about the recent 4-4 ruling on whether workers should be required to join labor unions, Lee Epstein, a law professor and political scientist at Washington University in St. Louis, said, "On eight-person courts the justices reach far fewer 4-4 decisions than we would expect. They seem to work hard to minimize them because they're so inefficient. They can hold over cases, cast strategic votes to avoid a decision down the road that may be even worse ideologically, write narrowly and dump cases on procedural grounds."
In other words, working with an 8-member court is a total waste of time. And it's a waste of energy and money, with potentially dire consequences.
In an interview with ABC News, Georgetown University Law Professor Susan Bloch speculated the justicies will be "less likely to take cases going forward" if they anticipate a deadlock. When decisions are sent back down to the lower courts, Bloch said, "all the time the justices have spent considering and debating the case is for naught."
"[Those cases] have many hours of lawyer time and lawyer time is expensive," Bloch noted, giving the approximation of "multiple thousands of dollars in billable hours."
The bench vacancy is also creating a shift of influence from SCOTUS to the lower courts, as the justices can reach total agreement on some aspects of a case and pass other parts back down to the circuit court. This was evidenced by the recent 8-0 ruling in Harris v. Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission, a contentious case concerning partisan gerrymandering that went undetermined. Dan Abrams, chief legal analyst for ABC News, said this meant SCOTUS "agreed on certain issues but didn't address the most controversial issue on how districts can be drawn."
"Suddenly," Abrams said, "in some of the most divisive cases, the circuit courts have much more power." This can be problematic because of the varrying ways states can apply and interpret the Constitution.
Each term, the U.S. Supreme Court typically hears about 70 cases; many are boring, but they all carry immense influence, and some are capable of radically transforming peoples' lives across the country. For instance, in April, SCOTUS heard United States v. Texas — a 26-state-challenge to President Obama's plan to cancel the deportation of some 4 million undocumented immigrants. With an explosive case like that on the docket, the action taken by Senate Republicans to force SCOTUS to operate one person short is blatantly foolish.
Mitch McConnell & Co. are abusing their power to bully the system into a year-long pause, apparently hoping for a President Donald Trump, whom they would trust more than the incumbent to pick a suitable replacement for Antonin Scalia. It's sabotage, plain and simple. There is an established system designed to maintain a nine-member bench: justices are elected for life, and when a judge retires or dies, the president nominates a successor, whom the Senate then votes to approve or reject. Obama made his choice. It's time for the Senate to do its job so the justices can do theirs.

Will a Democrat-controlled Senate respond in kind and make this a precedent to be followed for all future Presidents, regardless of party affiliation? Judging by what our lame elected officials have done in the past, I doubt it.
TZToronto May 22, 2016
You may be right, but it's more likely that a Democratic Senate will hold the appropriate hearings and then refuse to consent to evenly remotely questionable nominees. On the other hand, they might consent to a true centrist whose decisions are based firmly on Constitutional concepts rather than personal preferences. Republicans, on the other hand, can be relied on to vote against any nominee who is not approved by the Tea Party. The only way to ensure responsible Supreme Court justices is to have a Democratic Senate; Republicans cannot be trusted.

Discredit, and drag the office of President thru the dirt… Done. Render the Congress dysfunctional via payola/partisanship, Done. Clog the dockets by refusing to consider any judicial replacements to the Federal Bench, including the High Court more than two years prior to any election, unless both the executive, and legislative branch have super majorities so as to prevent any need for any compromise…Done. Make every disputed issue, or any budget related legislation a ready excuse to shut down the government, until such time as demands as yet to be determined, are fully, and irrevocably met. Done, done, and repeated, until all public faith in the institutions of gov. the courts, and every tenet, principle, and ideal this Nation was founded upon is destroyed… Nearly done.

Enter–"-Patriot" militia and paramilitary groups who hate the gov't. Done.
The thing about these paramilitary groups, and their comrades in arms, the propaganda spewing elitists, like Charles, and David Koch, Grover Norquist, the mouthpiece for the powerful lobby group, ALAC and others. Is they not only hate the gov. they hate the ideals, and concepts of freedom, and equal play, so enshrined in the Constitution that that government upholds, in a country they falsely claim to love. And would no doubt rule with a tyrannous bloody hand, if they ever were to achieve their goals of power. Ironically, for me, the fact that these obvious seditionists can openly ply their trade, and call for the demise of the U.S. Government, and not be jailed, or hung, is for me, the reason I so respect our system. The faith our form of government, in order to be successful, to survive such disloyalty, requires in it's people. It's a thing we don't always think about, this democracy of ours. How truly courageous, and revolutionary the idea was, that a government would trust it's very existence to the population at large. Instead of like all governments before, relying on it's ability to enforce, and perpetuate it's power at the point of a gun. A government, that as Lincoln described it in the midst of it's greatest challenge, as a testing, of "..whether this Nation, or any Nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure." Well, we did endure. And that, we as Americans can take great pride, and satisfaction in the fact, "they,' didn't win.
And if we remember for a moment, just how special, and incredibly lucky we are to be living in such a Country as we are, neither will these guys. At least that's what the Founders were betting everything they possessed on.

8 more paychecks for one year that Congress needs to return to the American people.
Add that to the ones for Congress and the Senate and all of our money they spent on Benghazi and email investigations. Any math whiz out there care to add it up and give us a total?
Independent1 May 22, 2016
If you count the wasted resources spent by the GOP on passing worthless legislation in Congress it knew would not pass Obama's vetoes & wasted congressional committee monies, the waste is over 500 million. And that doesn't include the billions they've wasted shutting down the government.

Unfortunately, a significant number of Americans (64% of Americans) do not want to cut the military budget . And Bernie is grossly underestimating what it would cost to provide single-payer to all Americans (the latest projection is a deficit of 16 trillion over 10 years).
But see this on the number of Americans who want to keep military spending as it is our higher:
From an article on Bernie's radical past:
Once he was in Congress, Sanders called for deep cuts in military spending. "Mr. Chairman, it is my view that the United States can maintain its position as the strongest military presence on Earth, and still cut our military spending by 50 percent over five years," he said on the House floor in 1991. Cutting the defense budget in half, unlike eliminating it, may be an entirely sensible position. It is, however, an extremely unpopular one. According to Gallup, 64 percent of Americans want either to maintain or increase current military spending; only 32 percent want to reduce it. Americans have more confidence in the military than in any other institution, including organized religion.

The rat bastard Republicans in Congress have finally managed to export their brand of "progress" to the judicial branch. It's called gridlock, of course.
They're a bunch of scurrilous dirtbags, and anyone who casts any vote for any Republican running for any office anywhere on their ballot is guilty by association.

Our wonderful Republican Congress loves dysfunctional government, so why should the Court be any different?
Insinnergy May 22, 2016
And it's worse than just the hypocrisy of ignoring the Constitution in holding hearings for a replacement for strict Constitutionalist, Scalia.
The current GOP line is: Obama is a Lame Duck (hint: no he's not)! Obama isn't allowed to decide. The People Must be Allowed to Decide!
(This also implies, of course, that Obama is somehow no longer allowed to make decisions based on his elected-by-the-people authority, because he's got most of a year left as President?… which is idiocy only a Republican would believe to begin with.)
So the NEXT president should be allowed to pick the Supreme Court Nominee… because the People Must Decide…
Except that several key Republicans have already said that if they lose the Election, they will confirm Obama's nominee between the Election and the next President taking office… because otherwise they might end up with a far more Liberal Supreme Court Candidate…
So explain that, Republicans.
How is it so desperately important to go against the Constitution and every confirmation hearing since the Founders so "The People Can Decide" through the next President…. if you openly admit that you'll do the opposite if it suits you?
How sad and lacking in principles do you guys look right now?
Essentially you're bald-faced lying to the American people. You don't want them to decide. YOU want to decide.
It's ironic Scalia would be the first person to denounce this gridlock idiocy. He must be turning in his grave so fast now you could use him to power Manhattan island.
Can you imagine the sh1tstorm that will ensue next time a Republican President is in their last year, and the Democractic Senate refuses to even hold a hearing for their candidate?… OMG… The screaming, the frothing, the histrionics!
Of course these pinheads have already worked out that the chances of this happening while they themselves have to pay for it politically, is very small… so why not screw the pooch for political advantage.

Cyber-Attacks Cost Global Firms $45bn in 2018
Cyber-criminals are getting better at monetizing their attacks, with $45bn lost last year alone in two million incidents, according to Internet Society's Online Trust Alliance (OTA).
The group's new Cyber Incident & Breach Trends Report comprises information from the FBI, Risk Based Security, the Identity Theft Resource Center and other sources.
It paints the picture of a rapidly maturing cybercrime economy in which both tried-and-tested and emerging techniques are being used in highly effective ways to generate illicit profits for the black hats.
One example of this is ransomware: although overall infections declined 20% from 2017 figures, losses spiked by 60% as attackers focused on higher value business targets.
As reported by the FBI, Business Email Compromise (BEC) has also become a major money-maker for cyber-criminals, netting them $1.3bn in 2018 – double the figure of a previous year.
The report also warned of a 78% increase in digital supply chain attacks of the sort seen with groups using Magecart code to infect e-commerce sites. It claimed that two-thirds of organizations have suffered an attack costing on average $1.1 million, and estimated that half of all cyber-attacks last year involved the supply chain.
Credential stuffing attacks were also highlighted as an urgent threat to address, given figures claiming there were 30bn malicious log-in attempts last year.
On the plus side, there was a 3.2% decrease in reported data breaches last year, and the number of exposed records also dropped in 2018 from the previous year.
Still, the Internet Society claimed that 95% of breaches are preventable. It urged all organizations to put in place a tested incident response plan, to train employees on an ongoing basis and to continually review security, data management and privacy practices.
The report contains a handy checklist for organizations to help them get "incident ready."
"While it's tempting to celebrate a decreasing number of breaches overall, the findings of our report are grim," said Jeff Wilbur, technical director of the Internet Society's Online Trust Alliance. "Cyber-criminals are using their infiltration ability to focus on new, more lucrative attacks. Staying up-to-date on the latest security safeguards and best practices is crucial to preventing attacks in the future."
