On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness Ep.1 can be summed up by the saying, 'simple, but effective.' Rather than bite off more than they could chew, Hothead and PA made the decision to focus on what makes PA (the comic) so popular – its humor. Gaming Age happens to believe this was the correct direction for a game like this to take. It is not only entertaining enough to keep fans playing, but also self-contained enough that new comers won't be overwhelmed or lost in translation. The use of comic exposition and easy to use gameplay are surprisingly inviting when you consider that this is a turn-based RPG. If you aren't already swamped by the holiday rush (Resistance 2, Mirror's Edge, Gears 2, LBP, Left4Dead, Fallout 3, etc, etc.), Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness Ep.1 is definitely worth looking into.
