I've said it before and I'll say it again: No more smoke blowing prostitutes!

Do you like playing with balls? I know IGN does!

Ordinarily I wouldn't report on a game worth less than $15 available only online, interesting only to a very small audience who give a damn. But I'm willing to make an exception because anything 360 related in this holiday season means ad revenue!

While pool games have never really taken the videogame world by storm, there is a small niche out there dedicated to virtual pool, gamers that enjoy their billiard action without tattooed hustlers and pesky prostitutes blowing smoke in their faces in crowded pool halls.

Which is odd, considering that most people really love pool, and the only thing keeping them out of your Slick Willie's and your Fast Eddie's and your Dave and Buster's are the tattooed hustlers and those damn chain smoking prostitutes. If I've said it once, I've said it at least twice: Cancer and AIDS don't mix.

Eight Ball, Nine Ball, Three Ball -- if there's a pool game out there, you can probably play it in Bankshot Billiards 2.

That's at least three kinds of ball! And probably there's more! Probably.

There's also a great Trick Shot mode in which you can do thinks you may have thought impossible on the felt.

I can do thinks like understand the words I'm using. That's because I have a degree in Video Game Journalism! I didn't write it on felt, though, so maybe it's not so good.

All of this would be mute if Bankshot Billiards 2 didn't have a great physics system, which it does.

XBox 360: Enhancing sound through physics! It's scienterrific!

The single-player mode could have been better if there was some personality in the game, like computer characters to play against.

XBox 360: Enhancing life through fake friends! It's sociatastic!

One last note:

7.0 Graphics
Nothing special, but nice reflections on the balls and the tables don't have beer stains on them.

Mommy, if I visit you at work it will scar me for the rest of my journalistic life. No, Mommy!
