After Killing Hookers Gets Old, Try This
Penny Arcade has announced the release of their new (and first) game, On The Rain-slick Precipice of Darkness Episode 1:
So we can finally announce that our game will be out on May 21st. IT will be released on Xbox Live as well as our own digital games store Greenhouse. If you do decide to download from Greenhouse you can grab one code that will give you access to the PC, Mac and Linux versions. I’m super excited to hear what you guys think. If you’re looking forward to the game you should check out the new trailer over on the Xbox Live site.

Initial reviews aren’t great

Who reads reviews, anyway? I personally got the game on sunday, and I’ve now completed it twice. Twice, because I couldn’t get all those collectibles the first time around.
Sure, I could complain that the game is too short, or that the combat isn’t challenging enough, or whatever. But the focal point of the game, I think, is being funny as hell, and being funny in a retarded way more often than not. And it delivers on that department. If you like PA, you’ll like the Precipice. As a game, it’s very playable, and I think that’s all it needs to be when clinically thought of as a video game.
But yeah, it was too short. Not for the money, though, but for the experience. I want episode 2, and I want it yesterday.
