Another Cool Game for Sony PS3?

December 8th, 2010 General, ReviewsTags: Games, PS3, Sony

Although many people may choose to play their poker at a live casino or in a top 10 online casinos, the major video game consoles are intent on providing options for those who want to enjoy poker through the convenience of their own video game system. Often, these poker games take the form of an arcade version available through the console’s downloadable online live service. A PS3 entry in this genre is Sony Online Entertainment’s High Stakes Vegas Strip: Poker Edition.

High Stakes Vegas Strip: Poker Edition
The first thing you will want to note is that this is NOT strip poker. It’s poker on the Vegas strip. If you’re looking for opponents who will be taking their clothes off when you show them your flush, you need to look elsewhere. This game is good old fashioned poker.

Playing High Stakes Vegas Strip on the PS3
Once you’ve got that straightened out, you can enjoy the game. There are five different poker variants you can enjoy, Texas hold’em, Super Hold’em, Billabong, Shanghai and Tahoe. All of these are community card variants which vary with regard to the number of hole cards you get and the number of board cards there are.

The graphics in this game are pretty good. You customize your own character and play against realistic opponents who may be computer opponents or live online opponents (a total of six players). There are two viewing angles, a regular seated angle and an overhead angle that allows you to better follow all the action, such as who has bet what and how much money everyone has in front of them and in the pot.

Enjoy High Stakes Vegas Strip: Poker Edition for the PS3
Although there is no nudity, High Stakes Vegas Strip: Poker Edition for the PS3 does offer a fun and convincinig way to play virtual poker at home just like playing in a online casino for USA players. The computer opponents will always play their best, and you can hope for online opponents who appreciate the challenge of a good game, rather than going all-in at every opportunity because the money isn’t real. You won’t in fact be playing for actual money in this game, but the skills you learn may translate into real money success someday.

Craving for TX2Z Multi-touch Tablet

November 27th, 2008 ReviewsTags: artist_edition, gigabytes, hewlett_packard, hp, hp_touchsmart, hp_tx1000, laptop, memory, notebook, skin_design

I’m really craving for this Tablet. After the release of TX1000 and TX2000, I’m always following the line up of TX series tablets by Hewlett Packard. It seems that this Tablet is more powerful than before. It can now maximized to 8 Gigabytes of Memory. Though I don’t like its skin design, same with HP TX2000, I love its features. The skin is not that obvious, but other do like it. I don’t know why. For me, it looks dirty, but not that dirty. Same with HP’s artist edition notebook, I don’t like its skin design, but others seem to love it.

I know a lot of customers complained about HP’s TX Tablets, just like this post about HP Touchsmart TX2Z review by Gizmosync. This guy or gal said that all TX tablets suck, and… I can attest to that. I know HP TX1000 was released with defects. HP did not try to fix it, really. But what I do hope now that its latest TX tablet is more reliable that the latter. I’m really really craving for it, and I hope that HP will not release a junk laptop just like TX1000 and TX2000.

Twilight Rocks My World!

After watching Twilight yesterday, all I could say was it really rocks my world. Catherine Hardwicke, the director of Twilight the Movie really knows how to make the novel alive! Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, the two main characters of the movie delivers the best that is yet to be, with oozing panoramic allegiance of both, it’s definitely one of the most must-see movies this 2008.

Robert Pattinson acts amazingly, he’s really good at his role. Here’s a cute group picture of Robert and the rest of the gang.

If you haven’t seen Twilight yet, better watch it before it’s too late. I also found in Google.com that you can watch Twilight the movie online for free! But still, I recommend to watch it in the big screen, or you can opt to download it, and if you have a home theatre with astounding Dolby surround speakers, you’ll still enjoy the movie just like you’re inside a Cinema house.

I have to pack my bag now because I’ll be late for school, so long!
