Got an itch to shoot some 8 Ball but you don't own a table and it's miles to the nearest pool hall? Just pop VIRTUAL POOL into your PlayStation and you're good to go. Multiple points-of-view enhance the play and make this a true billiards experience. Need to check out that shot from a different angle? Walk all the way around the table, duck to eye level with the felt, even get a birds-eye-view from directly overhead. Want to bank it off two sidewalls and sink it in the corner pocket? With precise cue stick control, you can put the right amount of English on the ball. VIRTUAL POOL gives you the chance to practice your shots in single-player Free Pool mode, and you can even learn to master some tricks of the trade from Machine Gun Lou Butera through the use of full-motion video clips. With multiple games to choose from such as 8 Ball, 9 Ball, Rotation, and Straight Pool, you can play single-player against the computer or invite a friend over and attempt to hustle him in Two-Player mode. Either way, you call the shots in VIRTUAL POOL.

The sequel to Future Pool, Future Snooker is a more tactical game that requires more thought and skill. Use the optional aiming guide to hit a ball off the table to 'pot' it but make sure you hit the right ball or you'll end your turn. As in real snooker, take care to place the cue-ball in the best place for your next shot.

Play with one to six players or against the computer in a solo game, single match, or six player tournament. The rules are similar to conventional snooker and an in-game tutorial is provided.

]]> 09 Feb 2007 06:42:00 Future Pool is a new fast paced video pool game. Classic 8-ball pool on a circular table with no pockets. Like bar pool, players take turns to shoot the cueball and pot the red or yellow balls, then the 8-ball.

]]> 09 Jan 2007 08:46:13 3-D Ultra Cool Pool has both standard and imaginative modes of play. There are your usual modes such as 8 and 9 Ball, but there are also new ways to play on the table. These games consist of 24 cents, Mad Bomber, Chameleon Ball, Poker and Rocket ball. The special game modes can also be played on tables that are different from the classic rectangle. Although there are made up, crazy modes of play, the physics are realistic and true to life.
