Texas Hold'em
Rob promised to write a blog about my favorite iPod game, Texas Hold'em, but after waiting forever I figure it's time for me to step in considering I mentioned it in yesterday's post.It turns out that it does feature multiplayer gaming but using the standard Wi-Fi that's available on any generation iPhone/iPod touch, rather than BlueTooth which was a feature only introduced with the second gen models.
What's cool is this game comes with multiplayer support for up to 8 people so it looks like I don't have to upgrade to iPhone Software 3.0 just yet. Who's up for a poker party during our next gathering?
The game itself is superb showing off Cover Flow as well as other iPhone/touch features. What instantly grabbed me was the high quality live action video clips o
f the dealer and your opponents. It reminded me a bit of Tad and company from The 7th Guest.In case Rob is keeping score, so far I've played it 185 times, winning 10% of the time in 1st place, 5% in second and 2% in third and I've gotten as far as the Roppongi level. I usually play aggressive since its all fake money anyway.

Edit: Turns out BlueTooth wasn't on 1st gen iPhones either, so I revised the blog to reflect this.
