It's official and you can already get it! Championship Poker 2: All In, the new title from Oxygen Games, is going to hit the shop stands today. This poker simulation game is available for the Xbox 360 users and some of it's features, if applied correctly by the devs, could turn it into the most real poker simulation game ever created.

You probably know that playing poker, real poker, getting to face the tension constantly growing with each hand you play (specially when losing), couldn't be felt yet in video game poker. Well... things are about to change, since WCP2 comes with a great feature: it has webcam support, which means that online players will be able to see each other, to analyze their facial expressions, gestures and so on. And, most important, to see those drips of sweat when their

opponents start to lose, or bluff the hell out of one hand.

In addition to that, the new World Championship Poker title comes with a few more types of poker games than its predecessor, for a total number of 14 types and, they say, intuitive AI. Let's just hope that last statement doesn't mean "almighty AI able to see your cards and ruin the pleasure".

As it could have been expected, single and multiplayer modes are available, the last one being the "realest" of them all, as we've already seen. That and the possibility to host up to 200 real players in a tournament, makes it a multiplayer giant. Unfortunately, a career multiplayer mode isn't available, but you can make a career out of poker in single player, if you really want to.

Other game features include different venues, locations and items to buy, the possibility to take out loans when your cash is low or unlockable additional predefined gameplay scenarios as you advance through your career. And everything is commented by Matt Savage.
