King Of Pool For PSP Rolls Onto PSN
King of PoolWhile we still say pool is a game best played in reality, a virtual iteration can always be lots of fun.
As revealed over at the PlayStation Blog, King of Pool for the PSP will be released on the PSN this Thursday for the agreeable price of $9.99. Nordcurrent Managing Director Alex Bravve said they've "worked really hard to implement the whole variety of rules that exist in the world," and we can expect "one of the biggest collections of Pools and Snooker on PSP." We'll get the ever-popular Eight Ball, plus Snooker, Nine Ball, Four Ball, One Cushion Billiard, and more (I'm personally hoping for Straight Pool). But perhaps most intriguing is the addition of some very creative tables; tables you'd never find in a pool hall anywhere in the world. They were originally designed by the team's artists just for fun but when they realized how entertaining such tables could be, they decided to make them a highlight of the game. Also, don't forget that King of Pool supports turn-based multiplayer on a single PSP, and they've even tossed in three little mini-games for a nice change of pace.
Oh, there was a time back in college when I was quite good at pool. But seeing as how I basically haven't played since, I'd probably rip a hole in the felt...eh, maybe a game like this would be better for me.

It's awful boring to watch though, I admit.

But I prefer my pool the way it should be - with beer and chicks holding sticks.

9.99$ is a little pressing since there are other free alternatives

psp is entertainment on the go, meaning that you probably wont delve into a huge story, or play for prolonged periods of time, and as such, i think pool is an excelent on the go title as yo ucan play a quick match while waiting in line somewhere, good way to pass the time with a friend on a bus too for example, titles lke force unleashed int he psp are also good, because you have the quick duel options, depending on the time frame you got to play, wich in a psp for myself tends to vary from an hour or two to even 10 or 15 minutes..

i love playing pool, its allot of fun but it takes allot of practice and skill.

Before that game, the best pool games I had played were from the old school days of the NES SNES and Genesis when "Side Pocket", "Lunar Pool" and "Championship Pool" were the best billiards video games !
Sadly, I haven't a good pool game in quite some time and I'm hope the folks who made WCP 2004 will make one for the PS3 ! "Hustle Kings" and "Inferno Pool" are not that great to me !
