Pikachu meets vehicle-launched tactical nukes.

If you listened to our second podcast, you learned that playing cards is a fun way to pass the time between fights in your favorite old-school MMO (/cough). However, this is probably not what the makers of Auto Assault had in mind when they pasted their storyboard assets to virtual cover stock and created a digitized (drumroll please) Auto Assault Trading Card Game.

The real news: public testing of the game has begun, and you're invited.

Worlds Apart Productions announced the availability of public testing for the Auto Assault™ Trading Card Game (TCG), the digital trading-card game based on Auto Assault® the fastest, most destructive MMO ever, published by NCsoft and developed by NetDevil.

Check out the Auto Assault TCG infobit at Gaming-Age. And, hey, maybe the TCG site hasn't been blocked by your office computer firewall yet!

And, oh, did we mention that Auto Assault the MMO comes out this Thursday, April 13th? Spectacular. Check out our Auto Assault @ TenTonHammer community site for all your destructive needs, or visit the Auto Assault official site.
