Texas Hold'em, Hexic 2 updates News

Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese

27 September, 2007

Microsoft has said Live Arcade titles Hexic 2 and Texas Hold'em will be given a few tweaks in the coming days.

Changes to the poker title will mean you will have to stump up the adequate amount of cash to start a game, and no longer be able to exploit the competitive bankroll. The quality of language translation has been polished up, too, so you should no longer accidentally offend people from different countries.

Bankroll Leaderboards will be wiped clean when the title update goes live in the near future.

The changes to Hexic 2 revolve around restarting from a saved game in Timed Mode. Bombs should now appear correctly when you do, and the timer will restart after the first rotation rather than after the first combo - as it does when you begin a new game. Boards will now reset when there are no more available moves, and a sound will warn you when a bomb pops up for the first time.

Marathon, Marathon Weekly and Timed Leaderboards will all be reset when the Hexic 2 update goes live tomorrow.

Head over to our Texas Hold'em and Hexic 2 gamepages for more information.

Never mind that - what about the patch for SPACE GIRAFFE?

It should mean there's no more cheating! At the moment you can enter a 500k game whether you have the money or not. This was very annoying for proper, decent players, as suddenly the exclusive tables were swamped with complete idiots, going all-in constantly (etc) and basically ruining the game. It also meant that people could connect with a friend, play quick heads up games and generate billions of dollars for themselves, so they're top of the leaderboard.

So basically the patch is yet another 'reset'. Everytime they've patched it though, they've opened up another exploitable hole, so let's see what happens this time!

A patch that made it less like Tempest would be nice. Then the gameplay would match the in-game notification.

Yay, a reset. My bank roll is closing on -$100,000 so I'm happy.

If only they released a patch that made Hexic 2 NOT UGLY.
