PS3 WORLDWIDE NEWS

Sony fills a void we hadn't even realized existed on the PlayStation 3 this winter with Hustle Kings, one beautiful-looking game of billiards for the PlayStation Network.

Pool
is one of those games that people who aren't involved with it on a
regular basis quickly forget about once they finish playing, and video
game pool even more so, as it's one of those sport genres that takes a
very delicate touch to get just right. This winter Sony is banking on Hustle Kings
to deliver exactly the sort of sublime billiards experiences that other
games have failed to in the past. How? According the US Producer Aaron
Orsak, it all comes down to ball control.

The amount of ball control is simply astounding, giving the
player any and every shot option in the book…from masse shots to subtle
swerves and tricky English, you can do anything to the cue ball in
Hustle Kings that you can do around a real table. So the realism was
there, but how would the game fare for a more casual gamer? Turns out
everyone around the office, from the hardcore to the weekend warrior,
to people I've rarely seen play games, found something to absolutely
love about Hustle Kings.

While Aaron couldn't yet get into specifics on game modes and such,
he did promise a ton of announcements in the coming months. For now,
check out the game's official page for a trailer and more screens of Hustle Kings.
