World Snooker Championship Real 2011 is set to arrive on the 15th April 2011, the eve of the Snooker World Championship, for Xbox 360 and PlayStation3.

"World Snooker Championship Real 11 Xbox 360 players across the internet have been complaining about what looks like a save game glitch in the otherwise excellent, WSC Real 11."
Snooker has long been a well-represented sport in video games. Many will have fond memories of hammering Jimmy White’s “Whirlwind” Snooker on the Amiga back in the day, where the excellently implemented green baize action was supplemented with a healthy dose of humour, Archer Maclean having imbued his realistic simulation with anthropomorphic balls that would waggle their arms and blow raspberries at you if you spent too long diddling about with your shots. These days however, gamers demand more realism and licensed sporting action, and as simulations go, the WSC Real franchise offers as faithful an experience as you could want from a snooker game that you control from the comfort of your armchair.
After a two-year hiatus, developer Dark Energy Digital have returned to the table, and the latest installment in the series aims to provide the best and most realistic approximation of the Crucible favourite/working men’s club fave imaginable, and it is fair to say that they have improved upon the last entry in their canon.

Phil of StickTwiddlers writes "The World Snooker Championship is well and truly under way and the question of ‘will he or won’t he’ has finally been answered. Don’t know who I’m talking about? Well it’s the face of this year’s WSC Real 2011, the man they call ‘The Rocket’, Ronnie O’Sullivan. While he is no doubt a great face for the game of snooker, being one of the best naturally-talented snooker players today, he was about to pull out of the world championship this year. This would not have looked good for the game, but luckily enough he decided to play and will no doubt hit a 147 at some point. So enough about the cover star. Let’s play some snooker!"
