Since Xbox Live Arcade’s Full House Poker is naturally a multiplayer experience, we needed to ensure it would hold up to large-scale multiplayer load. I did my part in this by coordinating the Public Beta.


"As far as I am concerned, Full House Poker is the jewel in Microsoft’s House Party crown. Full of style, wit and excitement it isn’t just the best console poker game, but the best virtual poker game ever."
