Poker Night 2 is the latest game coming from Telltale Games, the same studio that brought The Walking Dead and Sam and Max. If you like poker, I highly recommend it. You play against a table full of fictional celebrities, Claptrap from the Borderlands series, Brock Samson from The Venture Bros. TV show, Sam from Sam and Max, and Ash Williams from The Evil Dead and Army of Darkness. Oh, also GlaDOS from the Portal series is the dealer.

It's a pretty solid poker game. Everyone has there own tells, and best of all, conversations occur between characters as your playing through the hands. These conversations are hilarious and they kept me coming back for more. Even if you don't like poker that much, situations like Claptrap Breaking while trying to say the word "Boobies" or finding out a little more about the relationship between Ash and Brock make losing hands worth it.

If you do actually win hands, or at least get in third or better, you'll win Unlock Chips which can be used to either unlock different themes for your decks, chips and table felts, or buy drinks for the people at the table. When you do this, they are more likely to show tells when betting.
Overall: C+, I had a great time playing this game, but it's not really anything special, the conversations made it all worth it, but otherwise, it's just like any other poker game. If your not a big fan of poker, you can probably skip this one.
