“Are you idling just so you can hear the crap we say?” -ClaptrapĪs you progress through your tournaments, you’ll earn tokens which can be used to unlock new tables, cards and chips one for each of the player’s franchises along with Portal. Pretty easy stuff, although some get a bit more complicated (or even easier, such as merely ordering a drink). Here, I had to place 4th or higher in a tournament, win a showdown and win twice in a row. To gain the ability to procure the special item from one of the players, you must first accomplish a couple of bounty goals.
#POKER NIGHT 2 STEAM PC#
I think the PC got the better end of this deal. The others are Team Fortress 2 (PC), dashboard themes (PS3) and avatar items (Xbox 360). On all three platforms Poker Night 2 is on, half of the unlocks are for Borderlands 2. And who else but the foxy Mad Moxxi to do the bartending? Other cameos include Steve from Borderlands 2, Captain Reginald Van Winslow from Tales of Monkey Island and Doug from The Walking Dead.Īlso returning here are unlocks – items you can win from a tournament that unlock special items in other games. Like the original, the tournament is held at “The Inventory”, a secret underground club that in this game, introduces a bar. You’ll be mocked for folding, for going all-in and for taking too long to make your next move – not too dissimilar from a real-life match.

The dealer in Poker Night 2 is none other than Portal 2‘s devious overlord GLaDOS. “What’s yellow and black and red all over? Brock Samson if he doesn’t leave this table.” – GLaDOS This is an odd mix of characters, but that doesn’t matter – they all work pretty well with each other. The two characters that might not be obvious are Ash and Brock – Ash (Williams) comes from The Evil Dead franchise, while Brock (Samson) comes from The Venture Bros. Claptrap will be instantly recognizable to any Borderlands fan, and even if you’ve never played the games, it’s pretty hard to not recognize Sam from the Sam & Max series. Unlike the original, which featured four characters that all had their own respective videogames, Poker Night 2 changes things up a little. Poker Night 2 follows closely in the footsteps of the original, so if you happened to enjoy that one, there’s no doubt that you’ll enjoy this one, too. In 2010, the company released its second poker game, called Poker Night at the Inventory, and apparently it was successful enough to warrant a sequel.
After all, the company’s first game was Telltale Texas Hold’em – clearly, the founders enjoy a good game of cards. But when it’s Telltale Games we’re talking about, it makes all the sense in the world. For a developer that’s best-known for creating episodic games, a stand-alone poker game might seem a bit unusual.
