If you've ever held a billiards cue in your hand or fancied yourself another "Minnesota Fats," Billiard Master is game you'll definitely enjoy.
This new billiard/pool simulation game from DigYs has all the features needed for very realistic play:
Various games, including 8Ball, 9Ball and Practice games
True ball rotations
Ball direction hint
Ball spinning control, for true "english" on shots
Cue raise/lower control
Precise cue adjustment control
True physics
Realistic sound
AI opponent with 3 difficulty levels
Auto-save option
Statistics of played games
This is just the kind of game I really enjoy, because of the attention that's been given to detail. You can choose the angle of each shot, how hard you strike the ball and how much spin you put on the ball. About the only thing you can't do is chalk up your cue. There's a free demo available and you can get the full version for $19.95 from Handango.
