    I see quite enough of Phil Hellmuth's tantrums and arrogance on ESPN2. I don't need him popping onto my screen every five minutes offering me advice.

    If you're just a casual poker fan or are looking for a way to brush up on your skills for friendly games, you'd probably be better off just playing online for free. WSoP '08 tries to go all in and steal the pot, but I'm here to call its bluff.

    Nothing wrong with a game of cards, but this one doesn't warrant the expense. [Feb 2008, p.84]

High Stakes on the Vegas Strip on the Playstation 3 store is way better and much less to buy. This game doesn't have audio, video, or PSP remote play like High Stakes does.

Save your money and get High Stakes which is supposed to be on the PSN on December 13th.… Full Review »
