Backlog Burndown: Telltale Texas Hold'Em

Backlog Burndown's Let's Play takes on Telltale Texas Hold'Em, Telltale Game's first version of what became a very fun single-player poker series.

Backlog Burndown #17 - Telltale Texas Hold'Em on Marooner's Rock

The backlog battles continue with Telltale Texas Hold'Em, today on Marooner's Rock.

The game, as the name suggests, a single-player Texas Hold’Em simulator. You play against four opponents, each with their own personality and tells. There’s Harry the professional-ish player, with a by-the-book strategy; Boris the most-likely a mob hitman who plays aggressive but calculated; Theodore the fratboy who plays dumb and aggressive; and Grandma, who plays a slow, calculated game right up until she crushes you.

It's not a terrible game, it's just... those jaggies. Ouch.
