  World Poker Tour review for the XBOX
This is the feeling World Poker Tour attempts to capture in an effort to set itself apart from the poker pack, but its toothy grin is marred by gameplay cavities deep enough to ruin even the sexiest of flops.
World Poker Tour lets you actually try to do that with its "Bluff Master Technology." This allows you to choose any of eight facial animations in an effort to throw your opponent off track.
Visual cues or giveaways in real poker happen to players subconsciously and it takes a keen mind to notice them, but when a "Blarg" face or "OMG" face is input consciously, the system is self-contradictory.
