  Action Vault - Dead Man's Hand Interview
Players get their hands on traditional Western firearms from the six-shooter to the buffalo gun, but the game is designed to encourage a more frantic and playful style of gameplay than more historically accurate games.
As for the name, historically the 'dead man's hand' refers to the cards held by Wild Bill Hickok when he was shot dead while playing poker in Deadwood, South Dakota.
But in the game, the dead man's hand refers not only the hand that can come up in the poker mini-game played before each mission, but also the hand of El Tejon, a gunslinger left for dead who has come back for revenge on the gang that betrayed him.

 GamingWorld X - Dead Man’s Hand Review

 RPGnet: Review of Dead Hand Chaos Poker
Dead Hand Chaos Poker is good for a laugh but doesn’t have any long term replayability.
Examples include “The hand with the Black Queen of Spades is dead”, “All Pairs are dead”, “The hand with the low diamond is dead”, etc. The hand(s) or card(s) that meet this condition are considered “dead” — and are out of play.
Any player who has a hand of two aces and two eights, regardless of suit, receives one poker chip of the smallest denomination from ALL other players and is immune to the card drawn for the “Dead Hand” rule.

Dead Man's Hand offers up some brutally fun, fast-paced action which is scheduled to hit the Xbox in time for the holidays later this year.
El Tejon was once a member of the legendary outlaw gang known as "The Nine." Seeking infamy and possibly the earliest periodical notion of street cred, El Tejon is a master gun-slinger and marksmen to boot.
Dead Man's Hand is a tad rough around the edges at the moment, but the storyline, control system, and game engine is solid at its roots.

The resulting shock waves, whose seismic signature is identical to that of a nuclear explosion, activate Dead Hand, bringing the world to the brink of a nuclear exchange.
DEAD HAND, is another of those books that I enjoyed, but found flawed by the all too obvious technical errors that are included within the text.

 Clickable Culture - Holding ‘Dead Man’s Hand’
Dead Man's Hand was developed using the Virtools software, which is capable of rendering high-quality 3D graphics within a web-browser (plugin required, naturally).
Dialog from the characters is pulled directly from the TV show, but doesn't integrate very well with the rest of the game--some of the lines are almost Ralph Wiggumesque non-sequitors.
Dead Man's Hand draws players into the world of the TV show with complimentary activities such as gamblin' and drinkin' and shootin'--it's an example of game-based advertising that's low on the crass and high on the class.

 Dead Man's Hand
There are a number of poker hands that are famous for one reason or another, but perhaps the most sinister is the Dead Man's Hand, so named because it was the hand held by James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok when he met his untimely demise.
But all agree that Hickok was holding a pair of aces and a pair of eights when he was shot, and that combination has become known as the dead man's hand.
There are superstitious poker players to this day who will not play a hand with a pair of aces and a pair of eights.

 Dead Hand Chaos Poker
DEAD HAND™ Chaos Poker, coming from SmirkandDagger Games in late July, is a standard 52-card Poker deck that hides a maddening twist; an almost imperceptible presence within the card face veneer — the hand of death - and it may just kill one of the hands at the table.
It is, however, a nasty silver bullet at the end of the game, guaranteed to keep players on their toes ‘til the bitter end.
Players then have the option of paying two chips to ‘activate’ a Dead Hand effect of one of the remaining cards in their hand.

It was almost unthinkable that a FPS based on a spaghetti western had yet to be created and Dead Man's Hand promised to include all of the staples of a good shoot-em'up.

Yet Lindsey concludes Against the Dead Hand optimistically: "For a century the world was enthralled by the false promises of the Industrial Counterrevolution; the chains of misplaced faith have now been broken, and the revival of globalization is one consequence.
The leaders of that system - which Lindsey calls the "Dead Hand" - are the root of much of the global poverty witnessed today because of their long-standing efforts to block the spread of reliable security for property rights and the rule of law.
The Dead Hand's fatal mistake was its failure to understand the concept of economic uncertainty.
