Any booth with a live game of poker going on is well worth the look. Crave has always been known for its off beat games that may not ever hit mainstream, but they will definitely thrill the hell out of any niche gamer. This year?s E3 lineup of titles was no different, as Crave continues to show its excellent grasp of creative knowledge.

The poker table wasn?t just for show. Crave is going ?All in? with World Championship Poker. This game will include over 18 different poker games, including Texas Hold?em, Five Card Draw and Pineapple. This isn?t just a computerized version of the popular card games played at seedy casinos all over the country, either. You will be able to fully customize your character, play over GameSpy, and utilize the support of the Eye-Toy. A twenty dollar price tag is the icing on the cake, and will be sure to draw in any gambling fanatic out there.

Similar games include Pinball Hall of Fame and Strike Force Bowling. Pinball offers over eight of the most classic pinball tables from the 60?s to the 90?s. The developers are working closely with pinball experts to make the game feel as authentic as possible. Strike Force Bowling will offer the most realistic bowling experience ever created on a home console, with easy control and ultra realistic physics.

Crave caters to all, despite what you may think, and they prove this by releasing titles like Trigger Man, Future Tactics, and Savage Safari Hunt. Savage Safari Hunt is the most unique, and to picture it just think of Jurassic Park meets Deer Hunter. Trigger Man and Future Tactics are another two great action games. Trigger Man has you battling the mafia in third person, while Future Tactics is a tactical RPG that looks and feels like an action platformer.

Rounding out this year?s bunch is Tokyo Extreme Racer 2 for the GBA. This game will let GBA owners customize and then race cars on the streets of London and LA. For a racing game on the Game Boy, this one looks great. With titles like these, Crave is set to do very well this upcoming holiday season.
