Duels of the Planeswalkers

Of mild interest to the board / card game geeks in the family, Wizards of the Coast just released a pretty nice looking computer version of Magic the Gathering on Xbox live.

From what I read it's not trying to be a fully featured version of Magic (I think they have a PC version for this?) as you work with just 8 premade decks which you can customize with a series of unlockable cards. But the gameplay was straight up Magic and I was actually pretty impressed with the production values when I tried the demo out. Kinda neat that they didn't just support 1:1 but also added in a co-op campaign and 4 player free-for-all play versions. Might actually pick it up myself as it's only $10.
