Hey everyone. The GotFrag staff has officially been poking its head around the E3 floor for about an hour and a half and we've already got the lowdown on a few of the hyped games coming into the event, lets get started.

World Series of Poker: Tournament of Champions

I'm not exactly a big poker fan. It’s a fad that has picked up and began to dominate the multimedia world, much like Skateboarding did in the late 90's. The past three years have been spent by most game developers, attempting to create a poker game that captures the real deal. Personally, I find that a hard job considering how Poker is largely a game based on bluffing, tells, and hiding your emotions, or playing on them. The WSOP: Tournament of Champions game, slated to ship for the X:BOX 360, comes complete with a digital camera for capturing and implementing the player's face onto the model. The gentleman before me who had used the technology seemed to have some close fitting glasses, as we had noted that the glasses on the character model seemed to have been fused to his skull, ala: the Philadelphia experiment.

The game play itself was what you would expect, AI coded to play based off of bets, the timing of the bet didn't seem to make a difference, ruling out a hesitation clock. If I raised all in, even with a garbage hand, I was scaring Johnny Chan and Phil Helmuth out of the hand before we even saw a flop.

The controls were probably the best quality of the game, the betting was based completely off of the joy stick, which gave you a quick and comfortable way to play, granted, its not like I'm jumping on boxes or dodging bullets, but its still notable.

I think you should all be happy to know that the in game models of the players seemed almost as bored with the game as I was.

Weenus’ First Impressions:

Gameplay: 3/5
Graphics: 3/5
Sound: Non-Existent
Controls: 5/5
Concept: 1/5

Overall: 3/5

A must for the Poker players out there, but I have a feeling anyone that serious about Poker could just go out and play it. Poker Stars and Party Poker pretty much have the market for underage gambling.
