Penny Arcade Adventures is slick with rain, humor, and all sorts of awesome, but it's for fans of the comic's brand of humor only.
The Good
* Ridiculously funny
* Captivating story
* True to the source material
* You get to kill mimes and clowns
* Simple but fun combat.
The Bad
* Adventure elements are a little light
* Only four different environments.
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."
I guess there wasn't too much variety then
oh wait...
^^ Its a XBL Arcade game with lots of Penny's core content packed into it.
oh wait... is right. The title is Episodic anyways, the Penny content trade off for the XBL Arcade size limitations is understood
Its kind of scary to have mod/contributor's that have been known to have a slightly pro Sony posting habbit(or biasd when posting news, just saying i'v never seen this contributor post PS3 news with the same tones as all the 360/MSFT news this person posts).
Another dumb review from GameSpot. Seriously, for an episodic game, On The Rain-Slick is pretty awesome.
Penny Arcade RULES.
I think it is a good game for what it is worth. However the last paragraph of the review really nails what to expect within the game and how to decide if it is right for you.
I'm honestly looking forward to the next episodes. They are supposed to be much more refined and I think reviews like this will only help shape further installments to be better.
