IGN writes, "Activision has quickly become the company to beat with its World Series of Poker franchise. In a few short years, it's gone from a lackluster title to a game that almost encapsulated the gambling experience perfectly. Building on the strengths of last year's title, Activision and Left Field Productions have recently released World Series of Poker 2008: Battle For the Bracelets. Thanks to a slicker presentation, larger sense of WSOP Tournaments and some additional features, Activision has once again produced one of the best poker games on a console."

Poker is a game of skill and determination, so here is a list of the six best poker video games for players looking to have a some fun away from the tables.
Digital Battle writes: "You might think it'd be difficult to write a review about a poker game, especially one so thoroughly licensed and self-promoted as a World Series of Poker title. Well, you're going to be surprised by this one, because I certainly was. It's definitely a surprise to say that World Series of Poker 2008, now available for the Xbox 360, PC, Nintendo DS, PSP and both Playstations two and three, is actually a lot more fun than you'd expect."
GamePyre:
"Do you like poker? Have you ever taken the time to sit down and watch the World Series of Poker on television? Would you like to learn how to play poker, especially Texas Hold 'em? If you answered yes to any of the questions listed above than Activision's Word Series of Poker 2008 - Battle for the Bracelets is a game worth buying. If you've never liked poker and don't think that you ever will you may want to stay away from this game. It really is just this simple. How you feel about poker determines this game's value completely."
... but should not be priced with the other games.
More around the $25 range to get them moving. I would NEVER pay over $50 for this sort of game.
