Best online poker games on Launchpoker.com

"Only around 50% of a poker game in the real world is about the cards," says Jon Sykes, the Managing Director of Play Technologies. Sykes and his company are producing Poker Face, a video game that follows, but does not copy, the spate of poker games being produced today.



Most poker games focus on the tournament play and the cards on the table, but Poker Face claims to deal with the darker, gritty side of poker, the underworld poker rooms, crime bosses and card sharks that can be encountered. Sykes continues; "The rest is about the other players, your ability to guess what they're up to, the risks of bluffing and the consequences of losing. What we're doing with Poker Face is recreating all of these other aspects of the game and creating what we believe is an exciting and compelling new way to enjoy poker as a video game."



Poker Face is being developed for the PC and Sony PSP and is scheduled for release in Fall 2006.
