PSP Poker Game Using Multiplayer Tech

"Nothing beats playing against real humans with their varied skills and individual betting strategies," commented Activision Value general manager David Oxford. He was speaking of the decision to incorporate PlayStation Portable’s popular GameSpy multiplayer technology solution in their new poker game, World Series of Poker.One of the first PSP titles that offer online multiplayer, WSOP allows players to use any wireless network, including public access, to play with other live PSP owners."We have enjoyed a great partnership with GameSpy over the years," he continued, "delivering excellent multiplayer functionality on the PC and PlayStation 2. We were pleased with the features we were able to quickly deliver for World Series of Poker and the appeal of PSP with an adult audience made it a perfect fit."The biggest draw? "Players can easily set up virtual tables with long time friends or get a seat at a table with likeminded poker players from around the world."
