GameSpot writes: "What would happen if the nerds who play collectible-card games challenged the nerds who play real-time strategy games to a fight? Given that we're both kinds of nerds, we feel pretty safe in saying that basically nothing would happen, other than an empty threat or two and some awkward silence. EA Phenomic has decided to focus on a conflict that people might actually want to see with BattleForge, a hybrid game that will offer the base-building and marching armies of real-time strategy games, plus the card-hoarding and deck-building strategy of a collectible-card game. The result: more or less what we just played at a recent press event".
Theshigen writes "Battleforge was a rather novel idea. It combined collectable card game mechanics with real-time strategy, something new and fresh back in 2009. It's been re-released today as Skylords Reborn. A fan-made project that's made the gamer, completely free."
