Penny Arcade game released this spring
Author: Joe MartinPublished: 21st February 2008
The Penny Arcade game will be released on Xbox 360 and PC this spring.
The game has been on show over the course of the conference and has attracted many fans who want to have a look at the Lovecraft-inspired title which has been developed with the aid of web-personalities Tycho and Gabe, as well as The Secret of Monkey Island creator Ron Gilbert.
On The Rain-Slick Precipice Of Darkness has divided fans of the Penny Arcade comic and, while some have seen the game as the logical extension of the Penny Arcade brand, others see it as classic sell-out strategy.
Either way, we'll get a chance to see for ourselves this summer when the game is released.
The game is currently being billed as a team-based action adventure hybrid presented in a cel-shaded style consistent with the cartoon.
On The Rain-Slick Precipice Of Darkness is currently confirmed for the Xbox 360 and PC and will be released episodically.
How do you think the game is shaping up? Will you be buying? Let us know what you think in the forums.

alrite, i'll give it the benefit of the doubt ;)
I'm not too sure about this. I know the Ron Gilbert connection will be giving Joe serious trouser tentage, but I can't help but think that Penny Arcade isn't too...I don't know...random?
I think ill get it since the comic nearly always amuses me and im starting to like their crazy rants on the podcast too.
heh listen to the podcast or check the recent spore comic, they quite often disagree with 'the masses' or indeed each other!
