One of the most popular table-top gaming systems ever created will make its debut on the Xbox videogame system from Microsoft and the PC this Fall with the release of Magic: the Gathering - BattleGrounds from Atari. Currently in development by Secret Level, Magic: the Gathering - Battlegrounds is filled with faithful translations of classic Magic creatures, spells and enchantments in a visually stunning 3D game environment rife with real-time strategic fighting, devastating wizard arsenals and brutal creature combat.
There are five colors or schools in Magic: The Gathering - Battlegrounds, black, blue, green, red and white, each denoting a specific proficiency at certain types of activities, such as attacking, defending and healing. Players will be able to select up to two colors and utilize creatures, spells and enchantments in any combination from those schools. For example, a Red Wizard may choose to augment the attacking powers of his Lava Dragon by adding powerful Green enchantments to his arsenal or increase his resilience by using White's restorative powers instead.
