The guys at Penny Arcade have moved from a satirical look at gaming to game producers themselves and their passion for their product shows. The mere fact that they took the time to listen to the complaints from their fans on the first game speaks volumes. Even the price point has been lowered as the initial game raised a lot of eyebrows for launching at $20.
For a lower price you'll receive a better product than the first with improved controls, longer story arcs and better overall quality. You don't need to be a fan of Penny Arcade to enjoy this game, but it'll make you appreciate the humor so much more. The only thing that this game leaves a gamer wanting is a quick release of Episode Three.
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.
