The Game:
Hearthstone Heroes of Warcraft is a ccg (collectible card game). It plays just like a tcg (trading card game) with the exception of being unable to trade. The game is made by none other than Blizzard Entertainment you know the guys that made that game ----------------------------------->


Story: Not Applicable
Its a ccg no real story a bunch of WoW characters all bought tons of cards after retiring from adventuring and know play it peacefully with other factions. I would just rate it 4 out of 10 but I don’t think it really applies so it is Not Applicable

Gameplay: 9 (addictive)

It is tons of fun this whole week I was only able to pull myself away twice one was to play that surprise review game linked here, and the other was to write this review. It’s not for everyone but it’s free to play for real this time sure you can pay to buy packs just like with real life trading card games. However unlike real life trading card games you can also earn free packs each pack is 100 gold price you get 10 gold every 3 wins ( They dont have to be 3 in a row just 3) and you get between 40-60 gold for logging in to play your daily quest (Which normally in and of itself requires 3 wins with a type of deck making the net gold 50-70) and that is every day so after just 2 days you can get a new pack and that is pretty fast all things considered. I give the gameplay an addictive 9 (Video from TotalBiscuit subscribe to him here)

The Look: 7
It is very stylized with the Warcraft look and actually looks really good the animations are better than expected for a card game and every board has a unique look to go with it. Overall i would give the look a solid 7.

The Universe: 4
It uses the Warcraft universe which is incredibly well developed however it is unrepresented in the game itself so I can’t give it anything more than a 4

Soundtrack: 6
The opening theme is pretty great but it starts looping. The song while you are matchmaking is pretty good but generally goes unnoticed. The soundtrack has 8 different tracks that fit the theme but could be much better. All in all i give it a 6

Overall 8.5
This is probably one of the two times I will say this on this blog but the lack of story really doesn't hold this game back It’s still great fun and I love it in fact I will probably play more as soon as i’m done with this review. Overall with the addictive gameplay the stylized universe fitting music and non scummy business tactics, I give Hearthstone a 8.5 out of 10
Next Weeks many many X-com's
