JoeyN Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Just curious if anyone picked up chessmaster. Chris and I were talking about it yesterday. Im thinking of picking it up today for only $20. Im a big fan of chess and its gotten some pretty good reviews . On the other hand from all i have read stay away for the Bicycle card games. capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 I've been looking for it but couldn't find it. Will get it if I run across it. I was wodnering about Bicycle Casino, as i've seen it everywhere over the last few days, and if it were good it could have potential.

JoeyN Posted October 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 My GS had it yesterday but they have all new guys there who were pissing me off so i just picked up my DOA. If I see it while out i will probably pick it up. The Bicycle Casino has gotten bad reviews for the few places that actually talked about it. The box says it has 500 games but its wrong. Its like 25 games with each variation counting as a different game. Like NL Texas Holdem, Limit Texas Holdem and so forth capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Yea, just read the IGN review here for casino. Doesn't look hopeful. Will continue to wait for Xbox arcade, although there is another online poker game coming out in a couple of weeks (as well as another casino game without live support, WTF!?!) I'll check at GS again for Chessmaster. I know there is a chess mode in mortal kombat, but I really hate chess games with nontraditional pieces (especially real sets liek the Simpson or Star Trek ones) as it's hard to remember what pieces are what.

Calvin Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Crap. I forgot about the gamer gift card. Maybe I'll pick this up. Maybe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyjaw Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 I suck at chess, I know nothing about strategy. How are the tutorials? I'm tempted to sell Out Run 2 back for this. My late uncle would have loved this game, he was a world-ranked chess player (I don't know what place), he played games by mail with players in Russia! They would send moves, one at a time, back and forth. He learned to read Russian so he could read their chess books. If he was alive to see that you can play chess with anyone in the world in real-time, he'd be all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted October 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 I havent had a chance to try it out yet. However from what i have read the tutorial is pretty good capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPieter Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Is the game Live aware? Are there custom soundtracks? Pieter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris The Rock Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Aww, dammit. Chessmaster is not 480p. Can't play it on my TV without changing inputs. Crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Damnit, this has been sitting on my shelf since last week, no 480p means I can't play at all with my current setup (vga box over monitor). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
