  1. Stacked with Daniel Negreanu is the best Texas Hold 'Em videogame on the market currently. It lets you play cash games, single table and multi-table tournaments and online on all platforms.
  2. While the AI has its issues as detailed above, it does a good job of helping players learn how to be better poker players as well as some of the basics on how to bluff someone.

    An impressively solid computer AI and overall gameplay makes Stacked possibly the best Texas Hold’em game, and possibly one of the best teaching tools on the market.
  4. Stacked with Daniel Negreanu succeeds largely because it comes very close to recreating an actual game of poker. The presentation could have used some fine-tuning but the interface is solid enough. Although not perfect, Stacked is about as close as you’re going to get to a real game of Texas hold’em on your PlayStation 2.
  5. Stacked presents itself as a typical game of poker, but thanks to a pretty intriguing artificial intelligence system, it plays things much smarter than your average poker title.
  6. Beginners and intermediate Texas Hold ‘Em players will love the custom avatars, multiple unique AI, and the chance to play against digital renditions of poker superstars. Experienced players will want to skip Stacked with Daniel Negreanu and head over to their favorite online poker site.

    Severely lacking in many areas. With the graphics being average, you would expect the interface to move quickly. But nope, making selections, Severely lacking in many areas. With the graphics being average, you would expect the interface to move quickly. But nope, making selections, chosing the amount to bet, and other actions take much longer than in real life or even free online poker. Which makes you ask yourself why not play a real game? The excitement of trying to build a career for yourself loses steam quickly as you work with the annoyingly slow interface and lack of features. Full Review »

    This game started off with a good marketing run, a great promotional DVD, and a release date of 7/2005. Well, delays pushed it back to This game started off with a good marketing run, a great promotional DVD, and a release date of 7/2005. Well, delays pushed it back to 6/1/2006. Now it's out, with half the features it promised, and a lackluster online play. This online play has rampant disconnects and is anything but fun. My recommendation is .. if you like online play, get one of the many free poker sites and play in their online rooms. If you like singleplayer play, this game is decent IF you want to play a video game. If you want to play poker, i'd suggest poker academy standard.. it contains the bots this game used, and it contains a lot better versions of them. Full Review »
