Void Star Creations has broken the seal and announced the release date for Poker Smash coming to XBLA. Next Wednesday you can try out a game that I have to say, I really didn't expect to love so much. Created by 4 men in a cave using only sticks, duct tape, and various small rodents, or maybe that is the version that lives in my head, Poker Smash is not another bland Poker game, but a fast-paced puzzle game that really brings some new blood to the XBLA table.
Although niether Microsoft or Void Star have announced an official pricepoint, it is most likely going to be available for 10 bucks (800 points). If for some reason it isn't, I will send each one of you pictures of Jim Sterling beating a small child. I have 100's of them that I need to get rid of before court.

I think that speaks wonders for what the developer has done here.......Or I just really F'ING love Tetris Attack
I need a way to play Panel de Pon on my TV now that the Wii no longer loads Japanese GameCube games. This may do the trick.
Plus, Planet Puzzle League cost 30$. If Poker Smash only costs $10, then I'm all in (bad Poker pun intended).
I didn't realize until the end that the Daft Punk remix wasn't the In-game music. I was slightly crestfallen, but the game still looks interesting.
Also, hardcore video intro is hardcore.
It's pretty cool.
I('m gonna poke around and see if I can find out what the stores deal is. I'll update if I find anything interesting.
Is you pause the vid right when the store is highlighted, the description says this:
"Unlock themes, Gamer pics, and Puzzle solutions with your in-game earnings and check for new downloads from marketplace."
Thanks...I didn't even think to look at the side deal when it was scrolled over. Seems a bit odd to look for new DLs there though when on the main menu it has 'check for DLC' on there...Hopefully they will have some different decks and some other kind of cool shit. The game looks tits though so Wed should be fun. If I can get my head yanked out of DMC4 for a bit....
