LEXINGTON, SC – July 16, 2007 – On Tuesday, July 10, 2007 during Microsoft’s E3 keynote in Santa Monica, CA, Poker SmashTM was announced as a new release for Xbox LIVE® Arcade on Xbox 360TM.

Innovative gameplay allows players to experience six unique game modes including action, puzzle, practice, theme playlist, split screen head-to-head and multiplayer tournaments.

“Poker Smash builds on well established match three puzzle mechanics, but adds the extra depth of using poker hands as the matching predicate,” stated Drew Card, Creative Director and Co-founder of Void Star Creations. “The result is a fast and fluid game that is very approachable to new players, yet still has the intensity desired by more advanced players.”
