Hmmm another poker game, and a US only competition again. Yawn sort it out after all you do sell to continents outside of your own.

Why would anyone want to buy this when the free version of Texas Hold'em, giving away a year or so ago, features twice as many players and camera support? Boggles the mind!

DelTrigger: This game is actualy really fun. Before you knock it you should really give it a chance. Who cares if its not a familiar franchise to you? I mean if you did try it and you didn't like it, thats a valid reason not to purchase it. But come on, at least give it a shot. I like the Xbox Live Arcade because it gives smaller developers a shot to create their own games and get them on the Xbox. I really dont want to play Arcade Port X for the millionth time. Im glad companies are bringing out fresh games like this.

And its not poorly made. Maybe if you played it you would have noticed. And when is $10 overpriced for a game with single player AND online multiplayer? I mean on the Wii virtual console you pay that much for an emulated N64 game with no improvements whatsoever.

Open only to legal residents of the 50 United States (includes the District of Columbia) and Canada (excluding Province of Quebec). Apparently the contest is also available to Canadians! =)

I actually thought this was a poker game until recently. Should be called poker puzzle smash or something so that people actually know that it's a puzzle game and not another poker game.

Oh, come on already. Give us some recognizable games someone might actually buy. I love Mortal Kombat and Zuma, not these overpriced games that bore me and are poorly made.

I'm through spending money on garbage, so give me something I care about already. (hint: Goldeneye might sell)

This game is awesome. My wife loves these matching games and poker so it's perfect for her, and I love the whole poker style it has.. It really is a great game, tons of features and lots of stuff to unlock and it's really more than just a typical matching game.

This isn't a poker game by the way. It's a puzzle game that uses poker elements.

Toxic, you need to call support and explain to them the problem. If they start giving you the run around about creating a dummy account, ask to speak to a supervisor.

There is a fix, but support seems to be unaware about 80% of the time to what you're talking about, so you just keep trying till they say, "Oh, the DRM problem, we need to tie your downloads to your new system" and then go from there.

I have spent since August trying to get them to fix it, and am on my 3rd "It'll be fixed in 30 days" routine. But, at least the ball is rolling and the more people that call in, the more MS will have to come up with a solution (which would be simple, but they refuse... go figure).

I know this is an issue for lots of people, but is there any answer to the DRM of arcade games? I have over 50 of them, which is a big investment, but I'm on my 3rd box, so only a few work offline. My ISP goes out frequently, and then I'm SOL. Any word on how to adjust this so it is tied to the current box? Is this ever going to be addressed?

I wonder if those complaining about the contest being US only go on Sony and Nintendo sites and complain about how games and contests hit in Japan first You people act like MS is the only company that does this, hich is stupid (yet typical).

OK, so I downloaded the demo and I tried to open it up but it froze. So I restarted my Xbox and I tried to open it again and it froze again. So this time I was going to delete the demo and try to download it again, but when I turned my console on I got 3 flashing red lights.....

I don't think this was related to the game but you never know...

""Major, please make the Xbox game Mafia backwards compatable in Australia!"

What does that have to do with poker smash?"

What does that have to do with poker smash?

on topic: it'll be interesting to try out but from what I've seen it really doesn't involve much poker at all.
