Still this series appeals--it looks like a neat take on the RPG. It does seem pricy though, and I'd be more into it as a whole package once the entire game comes out. Somehow playing an RPG in installments just seems fractured to me.

Penny Arcade Adventures Episode Two dated for October 29th
I quite enjoyed the first installment in the Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness series, my only beef being that it wasn't long enough (but good episodic content never feels long enough). PSN owners finally can get their hands on Episode One tomorrow, but for Xbox Live and PC/Mac/Linux users, we have an even better surprise coming: Episode Two will be available this October 29th, just in time for Halloween! The music of Canadian rock band The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets will be featured in this episode, who you may remember from their past performance at this year's Penny Arcade Expo. It seems you will also be able to select difficulty settings in this chapter, allowing for a more challenging playthrough if you so desire. The game will be $14.95 for PC, Mac and Linux, and 1200 points for Xbox Live Arcade; it offers from 6-10 hours of gameplay. I can't wait to continue the story -- this title has been one of my favorite downloadables so far this year. New Arcadia, here I come!

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)im just shocked, i have no idea there was a game of Penny Arcade! This is surprising for me and i love it. Now im going to sit and wait for some Mega64 game :3 I never got around to buying the first (though I totally plan to), and now I'm hoping that the first one will drop to $15 as well. It would make sense, though I'm not expecting it, really. I neither hate nor love Penny Arcade. I find it largely dull, but occasionally funny.
Still this series appeals--it looks like a neat take on the RPG. It does seem pricy though, and I'd be more into it as a whole package once the entire game comes out. Somehow playing an RPG in installments just seems fractured to me. Damn it... I just got Fable II this week, next week I already am overdoing it by stacking Fallout 3 and LittleBigPlanet on top of that, now this, another personal "must have". Not to mention Gears 2 the week after that. I really hate Fall sometimes... The first one was fun. I've played it through a couple of times and it's a good laugh. I got the first one on Steam when it was half price. Might wait for a similar offer as I'm pretty skint right now. 7:30 PM on 03.28.2013 Kentucky Route Zero's future episodes datedIf I'm being honest, I want the Kentucky Route Zero developers, Cardboard Computer, to take as much time as they need perfecting each and every episode of the game.
