Summary
When 11-times World Series of Poker bracelet winner, Phil "The Poker Brat" Hellmuth Jr offers to teach you lessons in the fine art of tournament poker, you want to listen. You also want to beat him. Bad.
Activision's World Series of Poker 2008 gives you those chances. You also get to match your wits (and, of course, your own poker face) against Chris ''Jesus'' Ferguson, Mike ''The Mouth'' Matusow, Greg Raymer, Annie Duke, Phil ''Unabomber'' Laak, Humberto Brenes, and Marcel ''The Flying Dutchman'' Luske.
Rather than having to make the haul down to Vegas, you can hone your poker-playing skills as you aim for your own bracelet in the real hardcore world of World Series of Poker.
In fact, 30 of the world's top poker champions have had their faces digitally scanned in - and have provided their own voices. These compliment Hellmuth, Ferguson and Matusow's personalised tutorials.
Once you've got the Pros to teach their skills, there are poker tools to unlock that will up the ante as well as your chances to win. You'll also get to play at Caesar's Palace, Flamingo, Harrah's, Bally's, and Paris Las Vegas casinos. Then it's time to go online and try your luck against real foes.
