The game of billiards has not always been played the way it is today. A few techniques evolved along the way. One such technique is the bankshot. This is a shot whereby the player hits the ball and deflects it off the banks of the billiards table, thus using this deflection to make a better shot. Based on this name, a software game was introduced recently called Bankshot Billiards.

The Bankshot Billiards game was developed and launched by PixelStorm on November 22, 2005. The game basically offers a few billiard game choices, such as Euro 8 Ball, 8 Ball, 9 Ball, 3 Ball, Cutthroat, 14.1 Continuous, Time Trial and Golf. Though golf is not a billiards game, it somehow matches with the rest of the contents. In this billiard pool game, multi players can take part, excluding the computer. It has crisp graphics and user friendly controls that can be mastered within half an hour of "hands on playing." Two players can also play as opponents on the same console while using Xbox live.

You will find the Bankshot Billiards game an entertaining pastime, if you love computer games. Gamers like the graphics, as well as the presentation of the game, which makes it easy even for a beginner to play well. However, people who enjoy live games better are not satisfied with the BB2, as it is popularly known, and find it a little dull. Overall, the game is very user-friendly, and anyone can master it in no time. For e-billiard game fans this is an excellent pastime.

The software game launched by PixelStorm, though advanced and user-friendly, failed to capture the market in the manner envisioned. This is not to say that the game, Bankshot Billiards, has any lacunae. The verdict is undecided because some billiard game fans appreciate and commend the game, while others brand it as dull. In this case, your personal opinion counts best.
