(AP) - The World Cup may be ancient history by now, but for real football fans -- and in this case, we mean what people some call soccer -- the passion for the game never cools. XBS Talks Tennis with the Producer of Top Spin 2 Top Spin returns for another victory on Xbox 360. Everything you loved is back and better than ever!

Xbox Solution recently had a chance to speak with the Top Spin 2 Producer, Jean-Franois CAPIZZI from Pam Development in Paris France. The following is the text of the interview between Xbox Solution's James Woodcock and Jean-Franois CAPIZZI. XBS - Top Spin is without a doubt one of my favourite Xbox games. Which is the one new main feature in Top Spin 2's arsenal that impressed you the most? Jean-Franois - The new main feature which makes a difference between Top Spin and Top Spin 2 is definitely the gameplay itself. Poker Strategies - The Art of Bluffing In order to really understand the competitive beauty of poker, you need to accept the fact that a good liar can make a great poker player. Acting like you've got something - or pretending like you don't - can take you a long way in a poker tournament, so becoming an expert in bluffing can almost guarantee at least mild success. Personally I love to bluff; it stirs the pot and keeps people from getting a pinpoint idea of the cards you are playing. If you win a hand or two with a solid bluff and your opponent knows this, you're letting your opponent know that you are not afraid of losing and that "you won't be pushed around". So what is a bluff? Bluffing is representing what you don't have, hoping to win a pot you have no business winning. But remember, your bluffs have to make sense.
Review: Xbox Live Unplugged Vol 1 Xbox 360: You've got your Xbox 360 and some games for it, but you'd really like to try out these arcade games on Xbox Live Arcade you've heard so much about but you don't have Broadband internet to download them. What do you do?
You could go round to a mate's house, he's got Broadband , or you could get a copy of Xbox Live Unplugged Volume 1 a compilation of some of Live's arcade games, all on one handy, dandy DVD. The games are Geometry Wars, Retro Evolved, sort of like asteroids on acid; platformers Wik: Fable of Souls; Outpost Kaloki X, a city builder set in space. Thing Tycoon in space; Bejewelled 2 Deluxe, a puzzle game where you have to form combinations with jewels; Hardwood Backgammon; and Texas Hold 'em, a poker game that is also compatible with the Xbox Live Vision camera which is coming out this month.
Billboard album reviews: Jimmy Buffett ARTIST: JIMMY BUFFETT ALBUM: TAKE THE WEATHER WITH YOU NEW YORK (Billboard) - 2004's "License to Chill" was the first No. 1 album of Jimmy Buffett's three-decade career, so it's no surprise that he goes country again for a set that's breezy even by his flip-floppy standards. "Weather" is heavy on covers but boasts a wider palette of them, as Buffett works in Crowded House ("Weather With You," incongruously featuring Gomez), Mark Knopfler (who penned and plays on the gorgeous "Whoop Dee Doo"), Merle Haggard ("Silver Wings") and Guy Clark ("Cinco de Mayo in Memphis"). There's a nice sense of self-awareness here; "It seems I've run out of reasons to be here, so I'm just gonna steal from myself," he smirks in the faux-calypso "Party at the End of the World," before tossing off a quick rhyme about attitudes and latitudes. Even as Mets play in NLCS, still thinking about free-agent market ST. LOUIS (AP) - Mets general manager Omar Minaya walked into Dominic's, an Italian restaurant in the Hill section of St. Louis along with Jeff Wilpon, Tony Bernazard and some of their top staff following the Game 5 rainout in the NL championship series. "There was nobody around," Wilpon said Tuesday. "Maybe three or four tables. Tony was like 'Are we allowed to talk?' It was that quiet." Even as the Mets were playing St. Louis in NLCS, they already are meeting to focus on the free-agent market and building their roster for 2007. After adding Pedro Martinez, Carlos Beltran, Carlos Delgado and Billy Wagner during his first two offseasons as general manager, Minaya must decide which players to pursue in a free-agent group that includes pitcher Barry Zito and second baseman/outfielder Alfonso Soriano. NINTENDO AND SMUGMUG OFFER ARTISTIC ONLINE POKÉMON CONTEST Oct. 16, 2006 - Whether you're a Picasso or a Pikachu, Nintendo's latest creative contest will help your inner artist shine. To spark the creativity of Pokmon fans, Nintendo and photo-sharing site SmugMug are hosting a Pokmon Mystery Dungeon Detectives contest starting today. The new Pokmon Mystery Dungeon video game for Nintendo DS Lite and Game Boy Advance SP asks the question, "What if you woke up one day and you were a Pokmon?" For the first time, players play as an actual Pokmon. They can even talk and interact with other Pokmon. In the SmugMug Pokmon Mystery Dungeon Detectives contest, fans are invited to create photos or artwork depicting their own stories about why they were turned into a Pokmon and what life is like as a Pokmon. The contest runs today through Nov. Star Trek: Encounters for PS2 video game review and cheats I'm always a fan of good game play and I particularly love innovation, so I was doubly disappointed by Encounters. In essence, this game is an arcade style ship combat game where you pilot one of the famous Star Trek ships through missions heavy in combat, tedium, and annoyance. Unlike Starfleet Battles, this game is fast paced and combative. I can't quite sum it up, but the experience is quite original. Unfortunately, it is hampered only by the fact that the developers didn't seem to know what to do with it.
