Like a rare fine day in the middle of winter, sometimes the world of gaming gives you a gift. Today's little bit of joy is brought to you by Instant Games, who will be released a small little adventure title called Poker Knight for iOS.  Yes, that's right, it's a combination of a poker game and a fantasy adventure tale, all wrapped up in one glorious package.  They even have invented a new game genre:  The Role Playing Poker Game, or RPPG.

Now I'm not much of a gambler, but I might have to actually learn how to play poker for a game like this.  Who can pass up the opportunity to beat back the denizens of evil with a straight flush?  

Poker Knight will be coming soon to an iOS device near you.
