Penny Arcade Adventures Episode One released 21 May, 2008 / Comments: 6

By Kroms


The first episode of Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness has been officially released for Xbox360 and PC, to really, really polarised reviews. This is a very, very you-love-it-or-hate-it game, but I think Wired's review sums-up public opinion quite nicely.

I should note that it'll be pretty hard for you to download the game right now (lots of traffic and Greenhouse isn't handling it all - hey, this is their first time). Wait a little then try to download it from the Greenhouse website.

UPDATE by Tingler: As Kroms said, the Greenhouse servers are really struggling at the moment. Here's an alternate place for the download. You still have to buy the game from the main site, though.

Update by Jason: Over at Grumpy Gamer you can read Ron's thoughts on the launch, and one blog entry down you can read about how Steve Spielberg likes Monkey Island!

    been playing it all morning, so far pretty cool. cant say im a fan of the sudden difficulty spike at hobo alley though, basically ive been killed 5 times in a row now and its getting very frustrating

    :( Lucky you. I won't have any time to play it for another 39 days.

    :( sorry to hear. Why the long wait?

    (BTW i managed to make it past the part i was stuck at, i definately wasnt expecting enemy hp to jump from about 25 to 90. Not a deal breaker though, i look forward to playing it through.)

    Well as long as you don't keep on spoiling. :P

    Just no time for anything. I literally have 30 minutes of free time on a daily basis. School, mostly, but some side work.

    Damn it, I won't be able to afford this until my next paycheck. I can dream, though. And I'll literally have to.
