What a Load of Billiards

I like a good game of pool, but I haven't really played a good one since Jimmy White's which unfortunately doesn't work on recent systems and the only other that was any good was Bankshot Billliards 2 on XBLA of which I thought (and still think) was overpriced.

Weird Pool Doodle Thingy

Some kind of strange press release has arisen to do with something called Doodle Pool... One day last week our cleaner left a window open, during the night the notorious ‘Doodle’ entered our development studio and left its mark in a part finished pool game. Very early the next morning when the team arrived to start work (around 11.30am) they discovered the scene of the crime, it was shocking, it was frightening, it was memorising, we called it Doodle Pool.
