Anyone played this? It's essentially a bog-standard poker game, but it has a few novel twists - firstly, it has several unlocks for Team Fortress 2 built into it should you be lucky enough to win, and secondly, it features an all-star cast of characters from Telltale games and the web in general, with appearances and dialogue from Strong Bad, Sam of Sam & Max fame, TF2's Heavy, and Tycho from Penny Arcade. The banter is generally pretty entertaining, and the poker itself is of at least a passable standard on the 'hard' difficulty, if a little too loose sometimes.

Yes, it'll get old as soon as you've heard most of the soundbites, but for £1.50 it's easily a couple of hours' entertainment to pass some time, and as a fan of most of the characters and the game of poker, I'm amazed I didn't pick this up sooner. :)

Can't say that I've even considered it, honestly. The combination of the teaser being such a bloody let-down and my innate dislike of poker due to not knowing the rules combine to make a bad combination--amazingly worded, I know.

Yeah, I can see that if you're not into poker, it's not going to have much of an appeal for you. :p

Well, to be honest the main thing about it is that the teaser (just showing the silhouettes of all those awesome characters) made me think it would be something amazing... and a poler game just... isn't amazing...
