Xbox Live arcade: Free Texas Hold’em Poker download

Gren grabbed the free download of Texas Hold’em and I played for a bit last night. I’m not really into poker, but I do like card games via pc/console. I usually prefer solitare style games and on pogo.com where I can get badges and ranks. Xbox live did a smart thing and attached achievements to their full games, which does make me want to play and buy them. I like seeing achievement notices when I reach them. Not sure how long the novelty will last though.

Maybe when I have started getting bored with it, that camera will come out and seeing all the people will make it fun again? We shall see. The game that is making me ponder buying an Xbox points card is Outpost Kaloki X. The only thing I am unsure about is that you have to buy new scenarios, so I expect the regular full game to not have enough. We’ll see. I’m off to work now.
