Playfish vs Zynga in the Poker Wars permalink
Electronics Arts’ recent acquisition of Playfish has thrust another heavy hitting game developer onto the texas holdem poker scene. Playfish’s new facebook poker game, Poker Rivals, is a graphically intense addition to the virtual poker line-up, currently dominated by Zynga Poker.
In the realm of social gaming, competing with an existing game that is already extremely popular and established is usually a recipe for failure and generally ends up being a mediocre effort at best, so while Playfish’s addition to the scene is visually stunning and backed by the deep pockets of Electronic Arts it remains to be seen if the final product will be an appealing choice to long time facebook poker players. That being said, the initial reviews of the game seem to be quite good.
