PAX 2009 is just a few days away, and to celebrate, Microsoft discounting Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode Two as its Xbox Live Deal of the Week.
Microsoft has revealed the game and add-on discounts coming your way as part of the Xbox Live Deal of the Week program, and odds are you might find something worth spending points on.
If you picked up the PlayStation 3 version of Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode Two recently, buyer beware: folks further along than you are claiming their games-saves are being corrupted.
When you’ve been making fun of the video game industry as long as Penny Arcade’s Jerry “Tycho” Holkins and Mike “Gabe” Krahulik have been, deciding to create your own game is one ballsy move. You have to know that every review site you’ve ever trashed and every developer you’ve viciously sodomised with your barbed wit is watching your every move, desperate to see you stumble so they can get in a few licks.
Undaunted, Penny Arcade and Hothead Games now brings us chapter one of Penny Arcade Adventures: On The Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, a Lovecraftian period role-playing game in four parts. Is it an adventure strong enough to weather the ensuing critic-storm, or will it crack under the pressure, spiraling slowly into madness? Read on, brave adventurer…
After finishing up playing a bit of Too Human coop yesterday, I noticed a demo station of Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness sitting all by itself, tucked away next to the Ninja Gaiden II stations.
Since the game wasn’t getting official demos, I decided to take our 30 minute break between games to sit down with the Penny Arcade game and take it for a test drive.
Just in time to miraculously coincide with PAX, Hothead Games had announced that the Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness website is now open for business. The episodic game is set to launch this year and will feature the ability to custom create a character that will join Gabe and Tycho in their exploits. PAX attendees will get a chance to try out the character creation at the Hothead Games booth. I have an interview with the Hothead folks tomorrow morning and will presumably get the chance to create a character myself which I will then try to convince them to let me photograph for posting later.
