Xbox Live's Major Nelson

Texas Hold 'em Update

There is a free update to 'Texas Hold 'em' now available. Here is a list of what it contains directly from the developer:

The free update will introduce several significant features, bug fixes and updates based on user feedback, including Xbox LIVE Vision Camera support (player bankrolls will not be reset with this update).

Now with live video, players can put on their best poker face and scrutinize the faces of their opponent’s in true poker fashion. Using the Xbox LIVE Vision Camera also allows players to use a series of game faces using the snapshot mode for all-ins, wins, losses, folds and more. Other features of the update include the following:

· Improved usability such as the addition of Custom Match Lists, which allows gamers to view and select which available Custom Match game they would like to join.

· Improved rich presence in the game, allowing players to not only see what their friends are up to, but also if they just won that big pot!

· Improved matchmaking and user results.

· Scoring and screens are more readable than before.

· Multi-language support including English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.

New premium downloadable content allows players to customize the in-game environment, and access new gamerpics and themes

This is AWESOME news Major. Way to o TikGames. You have surpassed my expectations. I was only expecting the vision camera update and improvements to reading the text.

@ john trfc. Plenty of people still play(check the free tables) and there is even a promotion happening right now in the US that ends TODAY.(link below)

And I just realized. I have not bought anything for this game even though I would gather most of the players got the game when it was available for free for two days. I think after today's update, it's high time we bought some of that downloadable content to show our support. After all, even though strategy videos and Guitar Hero packs may make some of our blood boil, we really should reward developers such as TikGames and to a degree Ubisoft(Players Pack Black Edition) when they take the extra step for customers to increase their userbase.

So does this update finally allow you to save a single player game in the middle? Even the free Vista Ultimate poker game allows that...

I got in during the free 2 day download period and I'm still addicted to this game. Not planning on getting a Cam though.
