World Championship Poker 2

In the last decade, the ability to read body language has become the new psychometric testing. You can barely switch on the TV these days without seeing a programme exposing the nonverbal signals we send each other – everything from eyebrow flashing (a sign of sexual attraction) and hair touching (a sign of sexual attraction) to thrusting the hips to and fro while offering a thumbs up signal (care to guess?).

It's the kind of pseudoscience any keen poker player would do well to study, given the main difference separating a top pro from a club player is the ability to read bluffs and tells with Derren Brown-like accuracy. Which is where World Championship Poker 2 comes in, as it purports to simulate poker playing behaviour in a realistic manner. Read poker blogs

It's a nice idea but one that, perhaps predictably, is executed poorly. We say predictably because getting a humble PSP to simulate the subtleties of human expression to the extent where we can intuit the nuances of tells, bluffs and double bluffs is the equivalent of asking an orang-utan to perform keyhole surgery.

The idea is that you carefully observe your opponents as they play their hands, noting patterns of behaviour which may indicate a bluff, or alternatively a strong hand. But in practice, this boils down to overt signals such as – we kid you not – the gleeful rubbing of hands, slumping in the chair or the kind of exuberant victory celebrations we haven't seen since the Ricki Lake Show.
