Although we don’t yet have a specific date, wicked pool title Inferno Pool is on its way to the States. The game, which scored a 9/10 from TheSixthAxis, is already familiar with European PS3 gamers but will be lighting up the US Store soon, according to a press release from Dark Energy Digital.
The press release also contains choice quotes from a couple of the sites that have already fallen in love with the game, including your very own TheSixthAxis. “Whether or not you like and indeed play pool, this game will still provide you with an unrivalled amount of multiplayer mayhem and competitive fun” goes the quote from our review.
“The physics are spot on, the controls are super simple yet extremely satisfying and the framerate is consistently 60FPS,” says PushSquare, and PS3Attitude said “we have a feeling that, no matter what the social occasion in the future, Inferno Pool will be making an appearance. And we can’t think of a better recommendation than that.”
There’s a new trailer of the game, designed for E3, here. Read our in-depth interview with the developer here, and our full review here.

Quality game, glad it’s doing well.
My free copy has already given me hours of entertainment and has allowed me to get my a** handed to me (by my g/f) on many occasions.

Great game – I wasn’t sure about buying it as I thought the iPhone version was rubbish, but I’m glad I gave into it because the PSN one is great.
I’ve not been able to find a single person online yet though, so if anyone wants to play some ranked games against me before it comes out in the US to go for the online trophies drop me a friend request on PSN saying you’re from here and we can do them. PSN ID is BoyDay.

What about the invite problem? Every time I am invited or I invite someone nothing bloody happens, nothing at all.
Ive tried it with about 5 or 6 different people and its bloody frustrating, the interface needs patching or summat if you ask me.

I was playing it earlier with hunterstryfe and his invites for me didn’t work but I had no problem inviting him.It is good fun online though, we both managed to all of the online trophies.

To be fair though Me, Fruit, O_Fark and Rob (Ro6) all managed to get invites and they worked. Don’t understand why yours had a problem working if all ours did. We certainly did try inviting you several times so something is obviously awry.

There’s another pool game called Hustle Kings coming soon. Might be aiming for a more realistic experience than Inferno Pool, but we’ll see.
I’ve managed to get a few online games going on Inferno, though since I’m in the US, the time diff means there aren’t too many people on by the time I get home. Only need one more trophy though – the multiplayer one, ‘All Bases Covered’. If anybody wants to take a crack at that one, let me know (PSN name is the same as my username here).
