Million Dollar Poker gets shortchanged by Gameloft

Published by at

Believe it or not, Million Dollar Poker is the third poker game on N-Gage, distinguishing itself this time round with true multiplayer action. Ewan seemed moderately impressed, but rightly berates Gameloft for making the trial version insanely short and for including truly lack lustre graphics throughout. Here's the Ovi Gaming review of Million Dollar Poker.

"And this is Million Dollar Poker's one amazing fail. The downloadable demo is short. Very short. In fact it's so short that I couldn't even finish the first hand of cards that I was dealt.
