	Culdcept Preview - PlayStation 2 News at GameSpot (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Culdcept's board game is essentially a souped-up version of Monopoly with mythical creatures and slightly more involved rules.
		Culdcept offers two main modes of play: a traditional story mode, offering a series of battles that unfold along with the story, and a two-player mode that lets you take on a friend.
		Culdcept's graphics aren't technically impressive, but they compensate for their lack of polygonal prowess with a sleek sense of style.

	GamingWorld X - Culdcept Review
		You play as a young Cepter, which is an individual able to summon from the book of Culdcept, on a mission to stop the one Cepter who is out to use his power to destroy the universe.
		For a card/board game, Culdcept is surprisingly compelling single player experience with the storyline spreading out as you play along and more items and boards unlocked along the way.
		Culdcept has over 480 individual cards to collect, ensuring that a host of options will be at your disposal.

	Culdcept - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cepters are beings that have the ability to use magical cards to summon creatures, cast spells, and perform various other feats of wizardry.
		Even though this game is very complex, story mode cleverly builds up your knowledge of how all of the factors apply and by the time you reach the end you can figure out everything that is going on.
		On April 6, 2006, it was announced that a new entry to the series, Culdcept Saga, was in development.

	Culdcept Review
		Culdcept began as a collectible card game in Japan, though it never made a stateside appearance, even though the game was nothing shy of a hit in the Land of the Rising Sun.
		Culdcept is a game that has qualities of a collectible card game mixed in with a dash of a table top board game...
		Culdcept surprised me. I had half expected something akin to Magic: The Gathering, which is a game that is enjoyable, but not a particular favorite.

	Game Over Online Magazine - Culdcept
		Culdcept is, simultaneously, both not as complex as I'm making it sound, and considerably moreso.
		Victory in Culdcept is a matter of arranging your deck -- which must be comprised of fifty cards, no more and no less -- to create as many vicious possible combinations as you can think of, and then exploiting them without mercy.
		An in-game manual can be referred to at any time; the graphics aren't even a little 3D, but are nonetheless amusing when they aren't gorgeous; the sound effects are subtle, but effective; and the sheer variety of cards provides an endless number of ways to beat the system.

	PS2 VIDEO GAME REVIEWS... Culdcept __________\|
		Culdcept is a name that won't be familiar to many people -- well, unless you've recently spent time in Japan or keep yourself wired in with the pop culture fads of the country.
		The Culdcept is a magical book, which was created by the Goddess Culdra containing the powers of both destruction and creation.
		The AI in Culdcept is very, very good and susceptible to the same strokes of brilliance and dumb moves as a human player.

	Culdcept - The Next Level PS2 Game Review
		It has developed a such a rabid fan base in that country that there are Culdcept National Championships that award cash and prizes and there's even an annual DVD released each year with "Secrets of the Culdcept Masters" for perusal.
		Culdcept features art from a slew of relevant Japanese artists, such as Yuzo Koshiro (Streets of Rage), Kastsuya Terada (Blood: The Last Vampire) and Kenji Ito (Romancing SaGa).
		Culdcept is a hybrid board game and card game that relies on user edited "books" that house a set amount of cards (50) that you select prior to setting out on a particular board.

	Culdcept - GameCritics.com
		Eschewing practically all pretense and current trends, Omiyasoft's Culdcept is a new member of a rare species—an offering that combines both types by acknowledging the video but emphasizing the game.
		There is a story mode in Culdcept, something silly about defeating an evil megalomaniac from the future, but it's really just a thinly disguised way of acclimating players to the mechanics.
		The choices made for your deck will play a large factor in determining your style, and knowing when to use modifiers is crucial since you never know when an opponent may have something to counter it.

	TNL Forum - Culdcept officially announced for US

		Culdcept also features art from a cadre of well-known Japanese fantasy artists such as Kastsuya Terada (Blood: The Last Vampire), and music from Yuzo Koshiro (Streets of Rage) and Kenji Ito (Romancing SaGa).
		Culdcept II is simply one of the best games on Dreamcast (Japan only), and this PS2 upgrade is going to be even sweeter.

	Gaming Illustrated - Culdcept (PS2) Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Sure, the title should clue you in that it’s a niche game, but Culdcept’s combination of board game and collectible card game is yet another PS2 title that delivers an A-grade game play experience that deserves a try from strategy fans.
		Culdcept includes a ton of nice customization options, including the ability to create a custom AI (through a series of simple menus), creating custom rules (such as limits on certain cards), and exporting character or rule data to a memory card to play with friends.
		Culdcept’s music is pleasant and enjoyable; I never noticed it getting repetitive.

	DailyGame Review: Culdcept [PS2]
		Culdcept is to Japan as Magic: The Gathering is to North America.
		The third and final type is a Spell card, which has a wide array of effects, from forcing an opponent’s move to weakening any summoned creature on the board.
		Similar to "Monopoly," Culdcept is played on a board divided into red, green, yellow and blue spaces, each of which represents land that can be purchased and grouped with other like-colored property.

	Culdcept for PS2 video game review and cheats (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Culdcept, the newest collectible card videogame, may not have the license to swoon over here in the States, but it’s arguably the ace of spades in an otherwise bad hand.
		The winner of the match is the first Cepter to reach the castle with the amount of gold stated at the beginning of the match.
		In short, Culdcept is a good-looking title, but it’s not the type of game that’ll show off the PS2’s hardware.

	Culdcept - PlayStation 2 Review
		While Culdcept certainly has a lot of depth, and tactics play an important role in victory, the overly chaotic nature of the game often undermines the strategic elements and pure luck is too often a determining factor in a game’s outcome.
		On paper, Culdcept looks like a well-thought out and strategic game and, at times, it is. After spending some time with the game, however, you’ll soon realize that luck plays an enormous part.
		Culdcept is one of those games that you’ll either love or hate.

	Culdcept
		Now don't get excited about the pretty beginning graphics, because Culdcept is probably the first game where your sidekick is a staff, with a human head.
		Culdcept is basically a cross Monopoly and a collectable card battle game.
		So with terrible game play, inferior graphics, and possibly the worst name we've ever heard, we think Culdcept isn't going to sell very well, which is a shame because the game is accessible for the newby and deep enough for the hard core.

	Culdcept Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The game Culdcept is something of a phenomenon in Japan, where there are regular tournaments to test famous players’ skills.
		The premise of Culdcept is that there are certain powerful beings, called Cepters, who can summon creatures with cards.
		Culdcept takes quite a while to learn, though fortunately the controls are simple enough.

	GamerFeed : Reviews : Sony : Culdcept (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Culdcept is one part collectable card game and one part board game, mixed together into a package so good it's downright sexy.
		The library to choose from is initially extremely small (indeed, you're stuck with your beginning 50 for the first battle), but after a while you will have hundreds of cards to choose from, each one worthwhile in certain situations.
		Even if the board game itself wasn't as engaging and fun as it is, Culdcept would have kept me coming back to try to unlock some new medals or get my grubby hands on some brand new cards to work into my deck.

	Gamerdad - Culdcept
		It starts with dire threats of a prophesied destroyer of worlds attempting to destroy the guiding power of the universe and control it as their own.
		In conclusion, Culdcept is very much a diamond in the rough.
		Culdcept takes a bit of a commitment to learn the rules so expect a steep learning curve at first.

		Culdcept is the book of creation and destruction, created by the goddess Culdra.
		If we had it over here a few years ago, before we were all bombarded with CCG style games, then it might have been able to grow a cult following that could last for years to come.

		In Culdcept it’s your role as a Cepter to travel the globe searching for the one who would destroy the universe and defeat him.
		Culdcept allows you to have a total of 50 cards in your deck, so customization and strategy is a must if you plan on winning.
		Culdcept takes sub-par FMV sequences that really don’t need to be in this title and mashes them all together.

	GAF - Review - Culdcept (PlayStation 2)
		In Culdcept, the complex and addictive parts have been complimented by fun and board game aspects and getting new cards is as easy as playing the game.
		The unique part of Culdcept's story is that you have a large selection of characters to choose from, male and female, and no matter who you pick, the story will be the same.
		It is clear that the Culdcept we are seeing is not the first (it's Culdcept 2 for those who are wondering), as the game is very balanced.

	Culdcept Review for PlayStation 2 - Gaming Age
		Culcept is a title that’s easy to miss in the sea of high-profile games.
		An evil cepter — individual with the power to summon from the book — is set to conquer Culdcept and rule the universe.
		It’s a fun title that boils down to good old-fashioned board game fun that just happens to be on a DVD.
