The long awaited X-Box poker package is on the way. Crave Entertainment announced this week that the Xbox 360 version of the “World Championship Poker: Featuring Howard Lederer All In” has now been shipped for sale across the United States.

In the “World Championship Poker” game, players can pit their skills and wits against some of the most recognisable and successful poker players in the business, including Howard Lederer, Robert Williamson III, Marcel Luske, and Annie Duke, who becomes exclusive to the WPC franchise with this installment of the game. Their likenesses, voices, play styles and even signature traits are all faithfully captured in the game.

“WCP: All In” continues the franchise’s most innovative one-player poker career mode and expands it to include series tournaments, mixed games and reoccurring home games. It features 19 types of poker, including Texas Hold’em, Five-Card Draw, Seven-Card Stud, Omaha and more.

During different types of play modes, users have chances to improve their luck with Lucky Charms or earn their way into other tournaments and ways to earn cash with the reputation system.

The Xbox 360 version of the game offers larger, more detailed environments and a more cinematic view of the game. There will also be a dynamic shadow-casting system that will allow self-shadowing on characters to give them even more realism.

The Xbox 360 version will also support XboxLive online entertainment network giving them access scoreboards, voice and text chat and the ability to use the EyeToy USB camera which allows online players to see each other.
