GamePro gives us a very fine 4.5/5 review that has taken our Metacritic score up to 81. For now, anyway!
GamePro Review: Full House Poker (XBLA)
I’ve been refreshing my game’s leaderboards all day, which serves double duty as our real-time sales tracking tool. We’ll reach 20,000 players shortly, which is very strong, and there’s hours to go yet for our day-one sales total. I’m hoping we hit 35k on day one . . .
I about had a heart attack when I saw a review of my game pop up on Metacritic that gave us a 40. Then we noticed the actual review gave us 4 out of 5 stars; Metacritic just screwed up the data entry. Microsoft wetworks team has been dispatched.
“Full of style, wit and excitement it isn’t just the best console poker game, but the best virtual poker game ever.”
IT’S A SCIENCE FACT!

I got to my office, drank some coffee, and promptly began speaking to a plush raccoon named Watson. He spoke back. I need more coffee.
Finally, a review of my new game written by someone who can actually write and who demonstrably played Texas Heat! It’s a great write-up and my only quibble is that it reads better than the 7.5/10 that he gave us.

Great online options and an innovative experience system make this poker game difficult to put down.
I’m not posting links to every review of Full House Poker because there are more than thirty of them up now and more to come. Metacritic only has a few so far, but our producer examined all 30+ write-ups and found that our average review score is 80.8/100. I will take that to the bank.
Some nice creature designs. But it’s an MMO, which means even the fifteen-foot-tall ogres with enormous chain guns just stand there, six feet from a tiny human with a pistol, and the two of them trade fire endlessly without bothering to move around. Keep chipping away at that healthbar! Yawn.
