  • Summary: In World Series of Poker 2008: Battle for the Bracelets, players challenge over 30 of the world’s top poker champions.

    The 2005 and 2006 titles had their fair share of little hiccups, but this title irons out nearly all of them. From top to bottom, World Series of Poker 2008: Battle for the Bracelets is a solid Poker title – bring your chips – they'll look good in my stack.

    World Series of Poker 2008 is a great poker game. The AI is aggressive without obviously cheating and the underlying gameplay mechanics are solid.

    This game had good gameplay and players but the cards and stats are way too small to see a few feet away. the whole stat system seemed to be ported from a pc where your sitting 1 foot from screen.… Expand

    This game is a rip-off! Way too high of a price. 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. Also, the computer play is horrible and it is almost impossible to read anything on the screen unless you are two feet away. Save your money and get High Stakes which is supposed to be on the PSN on December 13th.… Expand
