As reported back at the beginning of September, Telltale are producing a poker game featuring Max, Strong Bad, Tycho and the Heavy. Telltale have upped the ante with the release of a whole host of new media for your consumption.

Firstly is Poker Night‘s tie-in with Team Fortress 2. When pre-ordering the game through Telltale or Steam, you’ll receive a poker visor for the Heavy to wear in TF2. Also, winning “special item rounds” in Poker Night will unlock further loot in Valve’s stylised shooter. These are Max’s Lugermorph handgun and Freelance Police badge, Tycho’s Enthusiast timepiece, Strong Bad’s Dangeresque shades and the Heavy’s Iron Curtain gun.

A trailer was also put out, highlighting the four different characters on show and their respective voice actors; Andrew Chaikin (Max in Culture Shock) in the case of Tycho, who has never been voiced in previous video game appearances. You can see that below in the full post.

That’s a wrap! Head over to the official Poker Night website for all the information you’d ever need and grab the game, due to be released this month, for a smooth $4.95.

GameTrailers have had the exclusive reveal of a new title from Telltale Games in the form of this teaser trailer (embedded below in the full post). In it we can see the silhouettes of Max, Strong Bad (Homestar Runner), Tycho (Penny Arcade) and the Heavy (Team Fortress 2), the latter two appearing to be holding some cards.

It could be assumed that this is a sequel to Telltale’s very first game Telltale Texas Hold’em. The end of the trailer says we’ll find out more come September 2.

Sam & Max venture into Team Fortress 2

Order Sam & Max through Steam this week and you’ll get something special. Along with five episodic games, that is. Telltale Games have teamed up with the guys over at Valve to offer exclusive content for their Team Fortress 2 game.

You’ll receive Max’s Severed Head (see the heavy wearing it with joy to the left), Max’s pistol and Sam’s revolver (both weapon skins). See pictures of all three items here, courtesy of ‘TehWoodPcker’ from the Steam forums. I don’t want to alarm you, but this may be the coolest thing TF2 has ever seen. Just kidding, it is.

Update: those who purchased the game through Telltale’s site can get a redeemable code for their hats here.
