Microsoft Studios has today announced a new Xbox exclusive title coming this spring. While console gamers are used to explosions, high-octane races and adrenaline pumping combat, this new title is something a little bit different: World Series of Poker: Full House Pro.

On topic..
Loved Full House Poker but this sounds like its going to be huge with free to play and the WSOP license attached for added realism. Cool concept and itself be interesting if you can play against Windows 8 players directly.
Texas Holdem was great, Full House was better but this sounds like its going to be big on Arcade.

Lol?
The PS3 has some of the best games ever created coming out in this year.
Alone "The Last of Us" and "Beyond Two souls" will be 2 games that will define the whole gaming industry in a complete new way.
They do so much new things no one could have thought is possible with such old hardware.And im not talking only about graphics > The Last of Us will have the best AI in Console Gaming ever created.
The gen is over for 360 gamers but not for PS3 Gamers.They still get like 20+ exclusives this year WORLDWIDE.
The 360 gets a Gears of War Spinoff but well..360 gamers should be used to it LOL
PAY for something, redundantly free everywhere else, simply because you can afford it? Who would do such a thing?
Ms is more than likely releasing casual games for the 360 and leaving all the hardcore newer titles for the 720.
This Xbl poker game is great way to keep people interested and win real prizes and its F2P so people can download it and jump right into it.
I guess it takes someone else to say it and make it clear, but when I do it its disagree marathon I'll never understand why.
I think Microsoft just takes the idea to launch a new console with a strong lineup.
Interested to see what the next Xbox brings!
Can I ask you guys a question hell and Nuka, why do you guys open and comment MS /360 related articles if you guys worship Sony?
@Riverstarter - That would be aswsome but instead of money you can gamble your gamer points, achivements or MS points.
And Nuka does lean towards the Sony crowd but at least he speaks sense most of the time unlike 90% of the sony fanbase around here.
Uncarded got tons of hate, even from PS3 owners where you been?
Have a re-read of the comments -

I love card games, I love Uncharted, yet even I found that to be odd and unnecessary.
Sony is good, because it gave not _only_ an Uncharted card game, but also the Golden Abyss - a sterling portable action-adventure. So Hunt for Treasure is an addition to Golden Abbys. And what is the game that come in addition to MS card game?
C'mon MS!
They need to focus on making some big exclusives that can compete with Sony's. Yet they seem to just be complacent with where they are, no longer trying... I just don't like seeing gamers (despite which platform they may or may not choose.) get the short end of the stick on things like this. That's what really matters after all, right? The games...
EDIT - Oh, it's a poker game.... great.

All this exclusive does is add the World Series of Poker brand to the poker game Full House Poker game.
I will never understand why certain groups of people hate the fact that Microsoft continuously releases the AAA titles that drew people to the platform in the first place.
I think people here wouldn't be happy unless Microsoft was releases niche titles that nobody buys. As someone who bought a 360 at launch specifically to get Gears Of War, I've been more than happy with my purchase this generation.
Halo4 isn't going to do it alone. We want other franchises to either make a proper return or see games that are fresh instead of multi-plats. It's not my money to spend (I know) but you gotta admit it would be a good feeling for MS to start showing gamers a little love other than the normal. The next box might be a different story but I see nothing wrong with wanting MS to focus more on games instead of everything else.
Of course not! It only came out in November of 2012. I play Halo 4, BO2, Gears 3, Forza Horizon, Minecraft and Battlefield 3 online for the most part right now.

Just look at games that aren't the top sellers for Microsoft. Games I've enjoyed like Ninety Nine Nights, Ninja Blade, Viva Pinata, Lost Odyssey and even Crackdown. All of those games I enjoyed quite a bit, but none of them had stellar sales.
Each console generation sees 3 to 4 years of great releases, the Xbox 360 is on year 8. There comes a point when you switch focus and start working on software for the next console. That tactic is different than Sony, but it could work to Microsoft's benefit if they have a great launch lineup that wasn't hindered because developers were working on old hardware.
The way I see it things can go two ways. 1.Let your studios keep working on current hardware and have a lackluster launch lineup. 2.Switch the majority of studios to next generation and let a select few studios put out AAA blockbusters that a good percentage of 360 owners will actually buy.
I also think with the evolving XBLA Microsoft was able to give us store quality games at a much greater rate and much less cost.
I don't expect everyone to agree with me, but I'd take Halo 4 over something untested or something niche any day of the week. So many people complain about lack of new IP's when it's clear that new IP's help push a console generation at launch.
A good example of this will be The Last Of Us from Sony, it looks great, I'm buying it on PS3 certainly, but imagine if it was a launch PS4 title? It would give that new console quite the push and a new IP going into the future.
I want to see the next Halo or Gears, Microsoft is smart and understands core gamers buy consoles at launch. If you look at launch window games for the Xbox 360, you tend to understand why it did so well. COD2, Perfect Dark Zero, Kameo, Saints Row, Prey, Condemned, Blue Dragon, Dead Rising and soon after Gears Of War. It was one of the better launch windows I've ever seen.
The core needs more than one sequel to be happy.
"I think people here wouldn't be happy unless Microsoft was releases niche titles that nobody buys. "
Umm, MS does release niche titles that nobody buys. Check the sales of Steel Battalion, Fable the Journey, The Gunstringer, Rise of Nightmares, Haunt, Nike Kinect Training, et. No one bought those.
beyond 2 souls is over rated crap. to be honest sony does have a hell of a lot of exclusives, but most are over rated. they are average games hyped up as AAA games when truth be told out of Sony entire catalog they only have about 2 or 3 AAA games. but hey at least they try to give each and every fan what they want, while Microsoft keeps giving its fans a big fuck you. if any one thinks I'm some Sony fan boy check my history and you will see I am defiantly die hard Microsoft, but facts are facts, but unlike Sony fan boys I will admit when Microsoft has done something wrong. no matter what Sony does wrong their fan boys never rant about it its like Sony has them brain washed or something.
and you want ps3 owners who love those exclusives to agree with you or else they are fanboys ??!!
ok then what ever help you sleep the night
You, sir, are a troll...nothing more. That is all. Oh, imma take a bubble for the road too.
Yeh because that's what you want with a poker game
