Telltale deals out oddball TF2 spin-off.

Poker Night at the Inventory, a Team Fortress 2/Penny Arcade/Telltale card game mash-up, will launch on 22nd November.

The game, developed by Telltale Games, sees Team Fortress 2's Heavy, Penny Arcade's Tycho, Sam (of Sam & Max fame) and Homestar Runner's Strong Bad coming together at the card table for a spot of poker and "lively banter".

It's available for download on PC and Mac for a mere $4.95. Pre-order through the official site by Monday and you'll get an exclusive poker visor wearable in Team Fortress 2. Pre-order through Steam and you'll get a 10 per cent saving.

There are more Team Fortress 2-related goodies up for grabs in the game proper. The five unlocks on the table are:

  • "The Iron Curtain" weapon, for use by the Heavy in TF2
  • Max's Lugermorph handgun for use by the Scout and the Engineer in TF2
  • Max's Freelance Police badge, wearable by any player in TF2
  • Wrist watch from Penny Arcade's Tycho for the Spy in TF2
  • Styling "Dangeresque" sunglasses anted in by Strong Bad, wearable by Demoman in TF2

Take a look at the launch trailer below for a taste of the full package.

    It's how they get ya! Anything can have TF2 items in it and it'll automaticly sell to a select few who care about virtual items.

    if it's any good however, tell me and i'll be on board... I just don't like Tycho's voice, sounds like the guy should be doing bloody washing tablet commercials. I'd imagine him sounding a bit like randall from 'Clerks' or garfield from 'Garfield'. A cynical voice rather than a overly positive one!

    TF2 spin-off? There's 3 other franchises in there, you know.

    Well that trailer was not really the taste of the full package, was it? I think there are some actual gameplay trailers out there showing a bit more that may be worth a look.
