25 August 2006 - 11:50XBL Hold’em problems already!
Well, that was fast! Obviously an avid online poker player, Jason Cross has posted an entry in his Modern Geek blog about some issues people are having with the formerly-free Texas Hold’em game. The article describes Jason’s gripes with cheaters, gameplay and UI problems in the game, and reports people getting two of the same card! I still haven’t had a chance to play even a single hand on Xbox Live yet, but I’m already hoping for a quick patch to fix the glitches and exploits. At the same time, of course, I’m not too upset because it was a free download.
Texas Hold’em will appear on retail shelves alongside 5 other XBLA titles in the “Xbox Live Arcade Unplugged” compilation, which I guess was designed for all seven Xbox 360 users without Xbox live.
