PLAYING POKER WITH THE MOB
THQ Wireless presents a game with the Sopranos
Mobile game developers THQ Wireless has come up with a topical and fun new mobile poker game based on the population television gangster series the Sopranos. The new game is available to Cingular Wireless users from this week.
In a press release the company sets the scene by asking: "Do you miss the good old days, when poker was associated with private back rooms, seedy characters, and dark alleys? Well, for those of you who do, THQ Wireless is offering you a trip down memory lane with its new The Sopranos Poker game. Poker fans can now play 5-card draw against characters from the hit HBO gangster series like Silvio, Paulie, and, of course, Tony Soprano himself."
The setting for the poker play is the infamous back room of the Bada Bing! strip club, which Sopranos fans will recognize from the TV show. Unique features of the game allow for players to wager more than just their chips, as gold chains and watches can be thrown into the pot to raise the stakes. The Sopranos Poker also allows players to sneak a peek at other player's cards.
