Ryan Asher writes "It's the same stuff, different day for your main protagonist as Episode 2 of Penny Arcade Adventures begins, but this time it's not a skyscraper-sized robot thrashing your pad. It's your old buds Gabe and Tycho barreling recklessly into it with their truck. Cue the start of another random, hilarious and sometimes socially awkward misadventure starring the fine duo from Penny Arcade.
After the formalities of your now destroyed home are discussed between the duo and your character, who you can import from the first episode, you're off to Anne Clair's for mission details. If it's the blood of evildoers you crave, no worries; it isn't long before you're outside the local loony house cracking the skulls of loitering crazies. The characters feel the need for change when it comes to their various instruments of death. Sure, Gabe still utilizes his fists to dish out his brand of hilarious justice, but Tycho has transitioned to the shotgun and you've moved on from the rake…to a hoe. "

Try Indie: "The trajectory of Zeboyd Games’ indie RPGs has been followed the beginnings of the genre. Their first game, Breath of Death VII, had the charming looks of an enhanced 8-bit game. Followup Cthulhu Saves the World moved things to the early 16-bit days with detailed artwork and some nice backdrops. Their latest game, Penny Arcade’s On The Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness looks like it belongs among better looking SNES games. All it needs is some Mode 7 graphics to totally nail the look."
When Live Arcade launched on the original Xbox, it was a clunky disk-based download service that offered a few dozen games of varying quality. Now, XBLA has become a console-within-a-console, offering unique experiences that can't be found anywhere else. Here are ten titles that every 360 owner should have in their virtual library, and each can be tried for free on Xbox Live.
Ugh, double-posted. Lemme think of something else to say....
I think the author did a great job, and I'm having difficulty thinking up anything that could have been listed on here instead. The only one that's got me a bit confused is UNO. 0_o
This is a pretty good list. I vehemently disagree with #1. Although I think I'm probably the only one.
