Game developers have thought up some really absurd ideas over the years. Some of them work, some of them don’t. Sometimes an idea will seem so stupid that you wonder why they even tried, and yet, once you play it, it is actually quite enjoyable. An idea along the lines of single-player poker.
Poker Night at the Inventory is a “celebrity” poker game from TellTale Games, featuring characters from their own franchises and elsewhere. You’ll play Texas Hold ‘em poker against Max from the Sam & Max series, Strong Bad from his online cartoon (and TellTale adventure series), The Heavy from Team Fortress, and Tycho from Penny Arcade. Reginald van Winslow from Tales of Monkey Island performs the role of the host, introducing you to the game and providing commentary on the poker games as they unfold, along with raising the blinds from time to time.

On very rare occasions, Jerec finds a game that inspires him to write stuff about. The rest of the time he just hangs around being sarcastic. |
