Current XBLA games to be updated for Vision


Xbox Live Arcade Manager Aaron Greenberg handed the hip-hopping podcasters at Gamertag Radio a scoop by revealing that several current XBLA games will be updated for use with the Vision Camera on September 19 to coincide with the peripheral's launch. Titles include Bankshot Billiard 2, Hearts, Spades and Backgammon. Juicing up the old games should add some depth to a cam-enabled line-up that already looks pretty solid with Uno, Totem Balls and World Series of Poker leading the way.

Meanwhile, Godfree from Gamertag is campaigning hard for votes in the Podcast Awards, and he's doing it the old-fashioned way: With bribery. All you have to do is register with their site and your name will be thrown in the hat for a drawing to win a Vision (surreptitiously obtained from MS) one month before it goes on sale.

1. This is old news, we've known these games were going to support the camera for weeks if not months. I remember it being on Major Nelson's podcast if not others.

3. Is "World Series of Poker" separate from the XBLA Arcade game "Texas Hold 'Em"?

If it is, isn't that a little counterintuitive? The camera would add a lot to the experience, and I'm looking forward to it. So why not make it compatable with the poker game that the majority of owners will be playing?

4. What the hell does winning one a month before it is released do? Do we need to practice with it or something so we don't look like fools. Thats like winning a 360 a month before release with no games to play. It would just piss me off more than anything!
