What it does
On reveal: If played in round 5 or later, +3 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 6 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Games cards roll the dice. Sometimes the dice roll you.
The site, in 2004
A video game review aggregator that linked to scores from other sites and magazines and averaged them as percentages.
It indexed over 315,000 articles on more than 14,500 games, and used a plain mean with no weighting. It closed on 9 December 2019, when its address began redirecting to Metacritic.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
