NEW WSOP VIDEO GAME DEBUTS THIS WEEK
Face mapping will enable players to really "immerse" themselves in
this game
Building on the success of 2005's top-selling World Series of Poker video game,
Activision Publishing, Inc. is demonstrating its all-new title, World
Series of Poker: Tournament of Champions, at the E3 Expo this week.
The game takes high-stakes poker action to new heights with twice as many top
pros, access to extensive poker tools that will help players improve their game,
and DigiMask Technology that actually maps a player's face into the game.
World Series of Poker: Tournament of Champions features an immersive storyline
that casts players as a newly turned poker pro building a career under the tutelage
of Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, learning strategies and tips directly from
one of the world's foremost poker pros.
Gamers advance their career by competing against top pros in the premiere Circuit
Events in hopes of qualifying for the winner-take-all, invitation-only Tournament
of Champions, which is held at the Rio Resort Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The game will be available this fall for the Xbox 360, as well as other platforms.
"This is the most authentic and realistic World Series of Poker video game
to ever hit the shelves," said Jeffrey Pollack, commissioner of the
World Series of Poker and vice present of Sports & Entertainment Marketing
for Harrah's Entertainment, Inc.
