Can't Hold 'Em Down Texas Hold 'Em Downloads |
Ó
When you think about it, it's crazy how card games such as poker, solitaire (yes, even solitaire), and blackjack are still big hits even though you can actually play them sans the consoles and the extra expenses. But what can we do? The damn card games can get so addicting that when a new one comes out, we just can't help but fall for 'em.Apparently we're not alone in this as Texas Hold 'Em has set a record over at Microsoft for being the fastest downloaded game ever on the XBL Marketplace! Let's get it straight from Microsoft, shall we?
“Texas Hold ‘em,” set a day one record as the fastest downloaded item ever on the Xbox Live Marketplace, with over 100 downloads per minute in the first 24 hours of the title’s release. For the first time ever, Microsoft offered a free full-version Xbox Live Arcade game to all Xbox Live members during the first 48 hours following launch. The title is the first poker game on Xbox Live Arcade and includes high-definition graphics, persistent bankroll, achievements and online multiplayer."
Well well well...Now that our guys over as Microsoft has seen the effect of offering free full-version downloadables via this record-breaking stunt, how about giving Texas Hold 'Em some competition for that record, eh?

The Microsoft PR idiot that thought this was news should be shot. The only reason this game saw such "incredible" download rates was because it was only going to be free for 48 hours. Do you actually believe these download figures would be remotely as impressive had the game been free indefinitely or had MS charged for it? The answer is no.
i mean i would have never bought this game if it wasnt free for 48 hours, in fact i thought that was a little misleading and that the game that you download woud be free and then turn into a trial after 2 days, but im not complaining
There are a few ways to really easily win money in the tournys. The game is full of cheaters and the leaderboards are meaningless.
Its a shame really.. The game is lame without a little friendly competition... ALL RUINED!
Wanna explain how you cheat on texas hold em, cuz i think its impossible
