Did you ever think you could play poker while riding the bus?

The first Texas Hold 'Em video game has finally arrived on PSP today. People who aspire to win the World Series of Poker can practice now even when they ride the bus (don't drive your car while playing on the PSP!!) because the PSP version of Stacked with Daniel Negreanu was launched.

3G studios decided to use for this game an artificial intelligence system that constantly changes and adapts to the style of play of each gamer being able to devise new strategies to win the game. This seems like an interesting aspect of the game as the AI system instantly records players weaknesses and builds a profile which is exploited while the game progresses.

Another feature that will delight beginners is Daniel Negreanu's Poker School, meant for schooling anyone, even those who never played any kind of poker before. Daniel Negreanu's Poker School uses full-motion videos, voiceovers and in-game scripted sequences in order to turn beginners into Texas Hold'em experts.

Later in the game players will be able to "meet" several poker legends like Josh Arieh, Jennifer Harman, Erik Lindgren, Juan Carlos Mortensen, Evelyn Ng, David Williams and of course Daniel Negreanu. Each will have its own virtual counterpart that integrates their exact style of play and reactions at the poker table.

Maybe Las Vegas casinos will suffer a hard blow with this game release. NOT! Who am I kidding?

PSP poker is not the same as playing for real money.
