Cyber Pool

Between 'cyber-pool' and sometimes almost 'neon mini-putt', this game is a nice and relaxing little time-killer (if you like playing pool, of course)! Sadly, without any achievements, stats, or leaderboards, it dearly lacks any true purpose. And, for many, the game may end-up 'behind the eight ball' because of that. Adding those would greatly increase the amount of players and our overall playtime! But I am still recommending it because this game is really beautiful, with many levels, lots of different tables, various challenges and play-modes. All set in a gorgeous retro-futuristic (yep! I just said 'retro-futuristic') neon lights ambiance, with chill electro-lounge music perfectly fitting the mood!

Whilst this is a polished-looking Pool game, it's weirdly unfinished and not really much fun-to-play. Ball aiming/firing/movement is 'treacle' slow and you have to wait for the ball to trickle to a halt after each shot - like no-one bothered PLAYING the game after making it? Controls are keyboard or joypad and cannot be customised - only keyboard controls are shown on-screen that I noticed. No graphics options whatsoever and it lacks any sort of fps control so you'll cook your GPU playing 800fps Pool (you can force VSync in the nVidia Control Panel - not sure for AMD??) I cannot work-out how you make such a slick-LOOKING game but fail to put any - erm - GAME into it?
