Poker Smash next up for XBLA

Puzzle-spruced poker next in Void Star Creations' download effort
Developer Void Star Creations has revealed that its erm, smashing Poker game Poker Smash will be released on Xbox Live Arcade next Wednesday.

It'll be out on Wednesday, February 6 (thank Christ January's out the way) and it's set to cost 800 Microsoft Points (about £6.50) - exactly what we don't fancy shelling out for a hi-def card game.

Thankfully thought it isn't just your straight-forward hearts and clubs affair; Poker Smash is spruced up with a fancy puzzle twist which has you picking out sets of Poker hands from a conveyor belt of scrolling cards. Interesting, but it still doesn't sound worth seven quid.

Look for it on Xbox Live next week, along with a short news story where we tell you it still doesn't sound like it's worth the money.
