Poker Night 2 Review
Apr 30th
Poker Night 2 has nearly been out for a week now, which has been enough time to lose a whole load of poker games.
Find out what I think of the second instalment in this review. Be sure to leave your thoughts on the game in the comments section.
Yet another Poker Night 2 trailer
Apr 24th
You know when you’re waiting for a trailer and then three turn up at once?
A third trailer for Poker Night 2 has been released. There’s nothing particularly new on show, but Skun’kape makes a cameo at the beginning. Each character is introduced in turn, with Sam pairing up with his little buddy. Max will be lurking around in the background and will insert remarks during the game every now and then.
Poker Night 2 is releasing today on XBLA, with other platforms to follow. You can watch the trailer below.
Poker Night 2 release dates confirmed, also out on iOS
Apr 23rd
After reporting yesterday that the Steam release date for Poker Night 2 was being pushed back, Telltale have confirmed all platform releases on their Twitter page. They also said that the game will be releasing on iOS and to expect more details soon. Until then, here are the release dates:
| XBLA (worldwide) | 24th April |
| Steam (worldwide) | 26th April |
| PSN (America) | 30th April |
| PSN (Europe) | 1st May (estimated) |
Poker Night 2 release date pushed back, new info and screenshots
Apr 22nd
Various snippets of new Poker Night 2 information have popped up. Firstly, the Telltale Twitter revealed that you will be able to order drinks for the other players in the game in order to get them drunk and see their tells.
Secondly, two new screenshots have been released showing GLaDOS and Ash talking and the whole table midway through a game. These can be seen embedded below or on the game page.
Thirdly, a list of achievements can be seen over here. Those are for the Xbox 360, but presumably they’ll be the same on every platform.
And finally, the Steam release date for the game is now listed as the 26th of April (instead of the 23rd). No official word on PSN or Xbox.

Poker Night 2 unlock trailer
Apr 17th
A new trailer has been put up by Telltale Games to show off the various unlockable items available in Poker Night 2.
As previously reported, players across all platforms will be able to get a Max mask for the Mechromancer in Borderlands 2. Additionally, players on PC/Mac will get Sam’s hat in Team Fortress 2, Xbox 360 will get a Sam costume for their avatar and PS3 will get a Sam/Claptrap and Sam/Portal crossover backgrounds (all amongst others, but these are the Sam & Max related goodies).
Watch the trailer embedded below and you’ll notice that Max is chilling in the background and Sam’s banjo makes an appearance. There are also unlockable decks, themes and felts based on Sam & Max’s 25th anniversary… plus, pause around the 1 minute mark to see Sam rocking a suit, bow-tie and top hat!
Poker Night 2 out 23 April on Steam, available to pre-order
Apr 9th
Poker Night 2 is now up for pre-order on Steam. It will be released on the 23rd of April (that’s two weeks time!) and costs £3.99/$4.99.
Pre-ordering will also give you a copy of the first Poker Night game featuring Max. If you already have it then you can gift it to a friend.
Poker Night 2 officially announced
Apr 2nd
We’ve known it all along, but Poker Night 2 has now been officially announced by Telltale. Screenshots were leaked back at the end of March, disclosing the fact that Sam would be joining Brock Samson (Venture Bros), Claptrap (Borderlands) and Ash Williams (Army of Darkness) for some rounds of poker.
Telltale’s official site offers up some more info (keep your eyes out for Max wandering around!) as well as a trailer, embedded below. Some small screenshots show that everything from the surrounding environment, table, cards and the character’s clothes can be customized. Speaking of clothes, you might notice that Sam’s suit looks slightly different. This is apparently so that it looks closer to Steve Purcell’s original drawings. What do you reckon?
As in the previous Poker Night, playing the game will get you unlocks in Team Fortress 2 (if playing through Steam on PC/Mac) and also in Borderlands 2 (across all platforms). These include a Max mask for the Mechromancer in Borderlands 2 and Sam’s hat in TF2.
Poker Night 2 will be launching “soon” for PC, Mac, XBLA and PSN. Disappointingly, I might add, without multiplayer.
Poker Night 2 screenshots leaked
Mar 27th
Three screenshots for the upcoming Poker Night at the Inventory 2 have been leaked. I’m not totally sure where these have leaked from (having discovered them reuploaded elsewhere), but it looks like they were originally on Microsoft’s Xbox servers under a database listing for the game.
Although the game has not been formally announced, it has been assumed that the current Key Party promotional website was leading up to it being unveiled.
As you can see from the screenshots below, the game is indeed another poker party. Our beloved Sam joins a cast of characters such as Claptrap (from the Borderlands games), Brock (from Adult Swim cartoon Venture Brothers) and GLaDOS (from the Portal games).
Keep your eyes on the site for further details like platform (although assume PC and Xbox for now, at least) and release date.

I haven't seen that much twine since that night in Tokyo in '68.
