Last May, Hothead Games released their first entry to Penny Arcade Adventures, an episodic series based on the hugely successful Penny Arcade webcomics. The first episode nicely paved the way for things to come by effectively capturing the look and humor of the comic while adding some pretty fun gameplay elements to boot. While the game wasn't quite perfect (the RPG elements weren't very fleshed out), it still represented the right way to approach an episodic series.

So last week Geoff took a look at the first game in the series Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rainslick Precipice of Darkness: Episode 1. In a dazzling display of imagination and originality, this week he's decided to write about the second game in the series – Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rainslick Precipice of Darkness: Episode 2! So let’s get to it!
Bright Hub writes: "For nearly ten years, Mike and Jerry of Penny Arcade have brought us the adventures of their alter egos Gabe and Tycho. Our list of their greatest hits examines not only the funniest and best comics, but also the overall effect Penny Arcade has had on gamers and the industry."
I love Penny Arcade! I don't always get it, though, especially if they're talking about a game I haven't played.
A new Weekend Deal has arrived on Steam for "Penny Arcade Adventures: Precipice of Darkness Combo Pack" to the tune of 75% off. This comes from the Steam Content Examiner at Examiner.com.
