Games With A Twist of Poker

The following is a sponsored post.

Classic poker is often featured as a mini-game in major titles that feature gambling. For example, Red Dead Redemption has an awesome poker mini-game that can be engaging on its own. The Liars and Cheats DLC expands it further by featuring multiplayer, allowing players to take their card skills online.

Other classic titles with poker references are Final Fantasy VIII’s Triple Triad, combining poker and a strategy game where you play out different cards. It is also present in social gaming communities such as Second Life and World of Warcraft. Both used to have their own poker spots but were discontinued due to players using real money to play.

Video Games and Web Comics Go Head-to-Head with Poker

Last year, poker and classic characters from games and web comics met in a crossover title called “Poker Night at the Inventory”. It features characters from games like Team Fortress 2 and Sam & Max. Tycho Brahe of Penny Arcade and Strong Bad from Homestar Runner represented their respective web series.

Final Fantasy XII: The Tournesol

I finally got The Sunflower.

First of all, go here:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/game/459841.html

That is GameFAQ’s page for Final Fantasy XII. I used the following guides:

  • sephirosuy’s FAQ/Walkthrough
  • sephirosuy’s 80 Rare Monster List
  • Arthellinus’ Power Walkthrough

Like I said before, you need 3 Serpentarius, 3 Empyreal Soul and 3 Gemsteel to get the Tournesol. It was already late in the game when I started working on getting it. All of my characters were equipped with the Deathbringer (check the Power Walkthrough), which was easy enough to obtain.
