Pool Nation XBL

A really fun billiards game.  I found it a little better than Hustle Kings although it is also pretty heavy on wanting you to perform skill shots for big points.  If you like billiards give it a try (Demo), I have played some online with a friend and it plays great, especially when you remove all the aiming guides for that extra challenge.  Endurance mode is a nice little add-on that will test your skills and ability to control the sticks quickly to set up shots.  There is no snooker, just FYI. Just the standard 8/9 ball, straight, continuous, golf and a few others.

The only knock is that technically you never have a character in the game, in regards to offline (online you at least get to use your gamertag). It would be nice to have one for the versus mode playing around with the CPU but you always get stuck as the some CPU character. Not a big deal and my only other minor gripe is they should allow for a practice mode where you can control both characters on one controller when you just want to mess around in the different game modes.

Only 800 points

Looks interesting...I just added it to my Xbox queue.

Yeah, I might grab it. I love Zen Pinball on PS3, so a good billiards game might hit the spot.
