GameSpy writes: "Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik are two fearless friends who took a snarky, irascible writing style and a talent for drawing endearing cartoons and turned it into the "Penny Arcade" mini-empire. Since 1998, the popular Web comic has allowed its two creators to craft an ongoing commentary on the gaming industry and gamer culture that's crude, vulgar, hilarious, occasionally brilliant and often surprisingly profound. When the two decided to try their hand at creating their own game, metaphors about glass houses and rocks were thrown about with wild abandon. Those metaphors, for the most part, can be put to rest. Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-slicked Precipice of Darkness, Episode 1 isn't without its flaws, but as a whole it's a fun, breezy Japanese-style RPG that should please the legions of Tycho and Gabe fans out there."
Pros:
-Fun combat system
-Great art and character design
-Good script
-In-jokes for "Penny Arcade" fans
Cons:
-Not enough "Penny Arcade" personality
-Not enough variety in combat; poor character creator
The following is a list of PC games released for the week of June 2nd, 2013.
PSU.com had the opportunity to speak to Jeff Kalles from Penny Arcade -- who is also acting as Producer on PA's new game -- about Penny Arcade’s On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 3 coming to PS3/PSN.
As far as consoles go, the game is currently penned as exclusive to the Xbox 360. However, it seems that the game is all but confirmed for the PlayStation 3.

"We talked to Robert Boyd at PAX East this past weekend and he confirmed that the rake-wielding player character of Penny Arcade Adventures Episode 1 and Episode 2 will not be making an appearance in Penny Arcade’s On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 3. Officially, the character’s location is unknown, so maybe if we bug the boys at Zeboyd enough, he (or she) will make a return engagement."
