And the haters say: "EA's been doing that for years, hyuck, hyuck." Don't lie...you know who you are.
EA Games, in partnership with Wiley Publishing, will be releasing a line of For Dummies games for the PC and Nintendo DS. Similar to Wiley's famous book series (you know Plumbing for Dummies, Open Heart Surgery for Dummies, etc.), these games will serve as educational tools for novice gamers.
The first game in the series, Poker for Dummies Featuring Texas Hold ‘Em, is now available through Pogo.com. At a cost of $19.95,players can learn gameplay and strategies for several variants, of the card game, including Seven-Card Stud and, of course, the titular game.
Set to be published under EA's Casual Entertainment label, other titles in the series include tutorials for Solitare, Brain Training, and Sudoku. These will be released throughout the fall. October will also see the first DS entry in the series, Travel Games for Dummies, which features tutorials for Solitaire, Sudoku, and crossword puzzles.
