Why they don't track second, third, or fourth place finishes or reward you for it is beyond me. Progression wise the game tracks how many hands you've played and won how many all-ins successfully won-lost, number of players you have knocked out, and of course your overall winnings. There is no way to mute them so be prepared to have to constantly speed click through their conversations for the rest of your play time. You can turn down the chatter setting to the lowest, but it won't matter two hours tops and you've heard almost everything. After and hour or two the AI will have to start repeating the same quips over and over which will become more of an annoyance than a positive. But, invariably with a game like this the lines are limited. And of course lots of banter from the AI players that keep things interesting for a bit. Production value is right up there too as we get dramatic camera angles and sound bites during the tense moments. From a game standpoint the graphics and sound work are good. There are some rather pointless cosmetics unlocks (tables and in-game card decks) and of course the all so tasty TF2 items (which I'll get to later). Poker Night consists of You, Max, Strong Bad, Tyco, and the TF2 Heavy sitting at a table playing Texas Hold'em poker. Yay! (Okay you can stop reading now) If you are also interested in the actual game itself then feel free to read on. Yay! (Okay you can stop If all you care about is TF2 unlocks then this game is a 10 out of 10 as it can be found for as cheap as 99 cents. If all you care about is TF2 unlocks then this game is a 10 out of 10 as it can be found for as cheap as 99 cents. One last thing I should mention, this game is only $5! All the quality you get is well worth more than $5, but this MSRP makes this game irresistable for any poker enthusiast or comedy lover. ![]() Overall, you should buy this game just to hear these guys talk to each other. The music consists of jazz remixes of music from Sam & Max, Homestar Runner, and Team Fortress 2 media. The dialogue is funny and will keep you laughing for hours. But for the most part, the system works well. Conversations between characterscan be interuppted, though, so anticipate a few bugs. All characters have a boatload of dialogue and can interact with each other in rib-hurtingly comical ways. The cast includes William Kasten as Max, Gary Schwartz as the Heavy, Matt Chapman as Strong Bad, Roger Jackson as the Host, and Tycho Brahe's first ever and hopefully permenant voice actor, Andrew "Kid Beyond" Chaikin. The game's audio is the pearl in this clam. The mouse pointer and buttons work perfectly. ![]() If you don't know anything about that stuff, look it up. The controls are very simple using buttons and a slide to bet, raise, call, check, and fold. This game is a point-and-click simulated poker game. They are funny, so it's nothing to worry about, unless you worry about that sort of thing. I've seen cards floating over the Heavy's head, chips moving to the middle by themselves, among others. The game is not without its graphical glitches, though. Most lip-syncing is very top-notch but some lip movements are of in comparison to the dialogue. The animation on the models are very smooth. The lighting is very '30s nightclub, and the effects and textures are very high quality. The graphics are some of the best I've ever scene out of Telltale Games. To put it slightly less gruesomely, I love this game. It stabs it to death, destroys its innards, dumps it into a landfill, and dumps recycled aluminum all over it. It stabs it to death, destroys its innards, dumps it into a landfill, and This game is my ultimate time-killer.
