WCP2 for PSP this July - Image 1WCP2 for PSP this July - Image 2


Oxygen Games sent QJ.net an email concerning two of its poker video game titles namely World Championship Poker 2 for the PlayStation Portable and World Championship Poker 2: All In for Xbox 360. It seems that fans are having a hard time to distinguish the two games from each other.

According to Oxygen, the Xbox 360 version of the title is very different from the PSP one. To begin with, All In is not just a subtitle as it indicates that it's a follow up to predecessor World Championship Poker 2. The PSP version now, alongside its PC and PS2 brothers, are that predecessor.

Much has been said about WCP2: All In but WCP2 for the handheld console is oftentimes neglected because of the confusion. Take note that the PSP game allows players online multiplayer options for up to eight people. There are also mini games available that can only be found in the WCP2. These are:
  • Flop Odds: the player gets certain hold cards, plus a target hand type and has to figure out the percentage chance of getting the specified hand when the board cards would be shown
  • Know the Nuts: the player is shown the community cards for a hand and then given the option to select the hole cards they need to make the best hand
  • Hold 'em Nicknames: players are prompted with a nickname for a set of cards and have to use the directional buttons to match up the suit and value of each card with the specified nickname
  • Tell Quiz: the player is given multiple choice questions that will train them to spot opponents tells
  • Know Your Outs: in this game, the player is shown their hole cards, the community cards and a guess as to what the opponent has. Based on this information, they must try to figure out the exact numbers of "outs" (the number of specific cards that can help to beat opponents)
  • Glossary Quiz: The player will be given multiple choice questions about Poker game terminology
There. That should finally clear the confusion. Lastly both World Championship Poker 2 and World Championship Poker 2: All In will be available this July.
