The biggest thing is that while Pool and Chess are one on one affairs, there can be a lot of people competing in a single game of Poker. Hold’em Poker is a bit different from Chess or Pool in a lot of ways, and thus Pure Hold’em is different from other games in the Pure series. Pure Hold’em does this for Poker, taking one of the most popular flavors of the game, Hold’em or Texas Hold’em, to the PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 platforms. The Pure games are known for their hyper-realistic graphics and beautiful, almost surreal environments that take a known sport or game and present it in a computer simulation.
Several of those in the series have been nominated for Game of the Year awards in the simulation category. Developer VooFoo Studios has come to be known for their series of Pure-branded simulations.
