About Judy

As WP's managing editor, I edit review and preview articles, attempt to keep up with the frantic pace of Rainier's news posts, and keep our reviewers on deadline, which is akin to herding cats. When I have a moment to myself and don't have my nose in a book, I like to play action/RPG, adventure and platforming games.

'Phantom Dust' (Xbox) - Screens

by Judy on Jan. 10, 2005 @ 9:50 a.m. PST

Phantom Dust is a unique blend of third-person arena combat and collectable card game, in which both fast reflexes and clever thinking matter.

Phantom Dust is an action game with elements of strategy where players assume the role of a "gifted one" and fight supernatural battles in a devastated futuristic environment.

The single player story unfolds as you try to unlock the events behind the near-destruction of the human race. Set in a post-apocalyptic time, you leave the safety of the underground to explore the surface with your supernatural abilities. Unfortunately, the surface is now filled with creatures that are the embodiment of people's worst nightmares and is surrounded by mysterious particles called Phantom Dust. The action intensifies as you strategically use your psychic-skills to defeat your opponents as you search for your lost memories. Then, take the secrets you've learned on the surface and crush your competition on Xbox Live.
