World Championship Poker 2: Featuring Howard Lederer - PlayStation®2
and Xbox®
World Championship Poker 2: Featuring Howard Lederer, the follow up to one
of the best selling titles for the first half of 2005, features 7 of the world’s
top poker pros including Howard Lederer, Greg Raymer, Paul Darden, Robert Williamson
III, Clonie Gowen, Amir Vahidi, Annie Duke, and Matt Savage. Additionally,
WCP2 has a much more detailed one player game, where you now have to work their
way up the ranks, starting in your mom’s basement. Once you start winning
and accumulating money, you can spend your winnings on increasingly better
pads, and furnishings. Hit a losing streak, and you may have to hock your stuff
to stay in the game.
Exclusive to the PlayStation 2 version of World Championship Poker
2 is support for the EyeToyTM USB Camera (for PlayStation®2),
which allows online opponents to see each other as they play, in
addition to supporting text chat. The Xbox version of the game supports
Xbox Live including Scoreboards, Voice/Chat and Live Aware.
Scheduled for release in Fall 2005, World Championship Poker 2:
Featuring Howard Lederer will be available for the PlayStation®2
computer entertainment system and Xbox video game system from Microsoft
with an MSRP of $19.99.
The Bible Game - PlayStation®2 and Game Boy® Advance
The first titles of their kind on current console systems, both games
combine wholesome family fun with a engaging challenge of Biblical
knowledge. The Bible Game for PlayStation 2 casts players as contestants
on a game show with fast-paced, “beat the buzzer” action
and a comical off-screen announcer as emcee. 20 mini- and micro-games
with 1,500 questions reinforce inspirational Old Testament teachings
such as Jonah and the Whale, David and Goliath, The Tower of Babel,
and many more. Multiplayer mode for up to 4 players encourages
family members of all ages to play together, and provides a fun
alternative for family game nights.
The Bible Game for Game Boy Advance combines action/adventure play
style with trivia challenges. In their quest to protect the Armor
of God, players may choose to play as either Billy or Jenny across
seven levels including forest, snowy tundra, desert, and tropical
island environments. Along the way they must answer questions from
both the Old and New Testaments. Either the New International Version
or King James translation may be selected, and three levels of difficulty
keep the game accessible for all ages.
Scheduled for release in October 2005, The Bible Game will be available
for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system and GameBoy® Advance
handheld system for an MSRP of $19.99.
