Telltale has an ace up its sleeve for Poker Night 2. An iOS version of the single-player Texas Hold'em game has surprisingly popped up and is available today, bringing the series to mobile for the first time.

Poker Night 2 is being optimized for Apple's mobile devices and will feature all of the poker-related goodness of its PC and console brethren. Just as in those versions of the game, players will match wits with Claptrap from Borderlands, Brock Samson from Venture Bros., Ash Williams (still not voiced by Bruce Campbell) from Army of Darkness, and Sam (the dog, not the rabbity thing) from the Sam & Max series. And of course, Portal's GLaDOS will still offer her two cents as the dealer.

One thing that appears to be missing from this version, however, is exclusive platform unlocks. Owners across PC and consoles can unlock exclusive Borderlands 2 skins along with platform-specific goodies, but this does not appear to be the case for iOS.

Poker Night 2 is a universal app and is $4.99 on the App Store. If you're not sure you want to go all-in, you can check out our review.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
