Pocket Gamer: The best measure of a poker game isn't if it has nice graphics, a customisable deck of cards, or a variety of table backgrounds, but how sweaty it makes your palms while playing.
With so many DSiWare games hitting the DSi Shop -- and with DSi owners having the ability to easily and immediately download the games for themselves -- IGN will be approaching these titles a bit differently than the usual software review structure. DSiWare is released on a weekly basis, and they'll be covering each and every title in shorter, more concise reviews.
The Nintendo DSi is quickly becoming a platform of its own. The system, released in April 2009, isn't much more than upgraded Nintendo DS technology, but its built-in cameras and its incorporated data storage give developers more to work with. And the DSi Shop can be a virtual sandbox for game creators to incorporate the DSi capabilities into downloadable titles. Or it's just an easy way to get simple DS ideas into gamers' hands without going the much more expensive retail route.
Nintendo Life writes: "We've already seen a host of card games released on DSiWare so far and Texas Hold'em seems to be the hot new card game to get. Hudson recently released its High Stakes Texas Hold'em onto the service to rather mediocre reviews and now EA is serving up its version of the game with the release of Downtown Texas Hold 'Em."
