EvilCards lives up to its title by offering a violent way to play traditional card games. While the game play is fun, there were some hurdles that nearly derailed the program along the way.

The program's interface initially impressed us with its simple navigation between games and its professional-looking graphic design. However, we were disappointed that the program offers no Help file or instructions and often requires a lot of frustrating experimentation to learn. EvilCards offers a twisted take on classic card games like Blackjack, Hearts, Poker, and a few others. Once we'd managed to decipher the controls, we had a blast playing these games. The program even offers a neat feature that let you invent your own card game from a quick, simple menu of options. While its controls and interface need work, the game play was so fun we nearly forgot our early troubles. The program got really interesting when our table included computer-generated opponents who looked like Vikings. We were surprised there was no money to wager, but soon realized the evil element of this game came when a losing hand drew a physical beating. As the game progressed, players grew more bruised and bloodied until they died, which means literally the last man standing won the hand.

EvilCards is a free game. It comes as a compressed file and installs desktop icons without permission. While its controls are a bit rocky, the unusual and amusing game play makes up for it, and we recommend this program.

Summary
<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Jul 3, 2009<p/>My review was submitted very late one night while using an ancient laptop with very little RAM. My real opinion is that this game is chocked full of spyware, NOT FROM CNET, but from the software author. Once you download, it'll contact its home server. Then it will immediately conjure up all sorts of spyware, adware, and a few interesting titles I've never heard of. This application does more harm than good..
no help file

Pros
I liked the animation during the card games( the more u beat your oponent the bloodier they get), the speed of the games
Cons
I could not find anywhere where they told you how to play the games ie. how to pick the # of cards you wanted, the game kept freezing up on me, and sometimes would just hang and when it came back on it would be a new hand altogether. It needs some help
