Free Texas Hold 'Em Poker Planned for Xbox 360 Live Arcade
Body:
As part of his regular podcast, Microsoft's Xbox Live Director
of Programming Larry 'Major Nelson' Hryb has interviewed fellow
Microsoft employee and Xbox Live Arcade Group Manager Greg Canessa,
regarding the past, present and future of Xbox Live Arcade.
Overall, Microsoft is hoping to release around 3 games each month
on Xbox Live Arcade for the Xbox 360, but looking to expand that
even further - Canessa commented that he "thinks there's
an appetite for 5 or 6 a month", and has so far committed
to 35 titles by summer. In addition, Canessa discussed offering
download-quality games for free 'presented by' a sponsor, but
in "a very limited number" of cases. The first game
will be Texas Hold
'Em Poker, presented in conjunction with casino company River
Belle - though obviously, players will not be able to bet real
money.
