It has been a long, drawn out wait for "Stacked" - the video game featuring Daniel Negreanu to make its way out to the people. I asked someone involved in the game about it in November and he told me at that time that the game designers were tweaking the multi-table tournaments and looking at other ways to enhance the game. He said that it was on tap for January and, "It's going to be great!"
Well, January came and "Stacked" didn't. I kept a close eye on the video game news to learn when the much anticipated game for the PlayStation, XBox and GameCube (and presumably PC's, but I haven't been able to confirm that) would actually hit the streets. When I learned recently that "Stacked" was set to hit the stores in April for a respectably priced $29.99, I headed to my local Electronics Boutique (EB to some) to reserve my copy and got a nice treat along with that reservation.
It is obvious that there is going to be a major push with "Stacked", otherwise they wouldn't have gone through the effort to create "Inside Stacked". "Inside Stacked" is basically a promotional DVD for the game, featuring Daniel as well as many of the other participants in the game. 2001 World Champion Juan Carlos Mortensen, 2004 World Series runner-up David Williams and fellow poker professionals Josh Arieh, Jennifer Harman, Erick Lindgren and Evelyn Ng join Daniel for the honors of being the featured players in the game.
The thirty minute DVD has many comments from the group about playing each other and poker overall. Of course Daniel is the featured speaker in the DVD, where he offers a few poker playing tips and his thoughts on the game today and its future. In talking about the game, Daniel exclaims, "I can't wait to play myself in it. |
