You can also try Sonic Shuffle in case you want your friends to punch your console to death.

Hahaha ! Why do you think nobody mentioned it yet !

It is terrible I must admit. Pretty graphics, pretty much nothing else to shout about.

It would be a good multiplayer game with:
1) Faster loading times.
2) Option to turn duels off in multiplayer mode. They stupid, not fun, and takes forever to load in and off.

I think a positive point of this game is that it uses VMU screen to keep your cards in secret in multiplayer mode (and if everyone has a VMU). I think it's the only way VMU screen has been used for something useful.

Yeah, I have that game. I haven't had a chance to play multiplayer yet though. I heard it's not bad with all human players but I know the CPU players are brutal.

I just didn't like anything about it. Nor Mario Party, which it is so slavishly copying.
