Poker Smash

Poker Smash is an exciting and fast-paced puzzle game that puts an interesting twist on a fairly standard gameplay formula.

"Poker Smash is at its best when it's you versus the endlessly rising tide of pieces, while the depth of options available to line up and clear out the large hands and combos means there's always ways to improve both score and performance."

If you already have a stable of great puzzle games in your Xbox Live Arcade lineup, there's really not much reason to pick up Poker Smash, especially if you've already gotten your table gaming fix with Texas Hold 'Em. But if you're a sucker for eye candy and you're looking for a twist on the line-'em-up-and-clear-'em genre, Poker Smash is a well-crafted game with a good variety of modes and options.

"Frankly, it’s hard to find that much wrong with Poker Smash. Even in a crowded field, it stands up to its competitors well and smoothly integrates America’s green felt tradition with something a little off-beat. If you’re ready for some fun multiplayer action and don’t mind a single-player side not as robust as some other puzzlers, Poker Smash is ready for you."
