More On: Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode Two
Gold Master has named its price for the second episode of Penny Arcade's hilarious serial adventure Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness. Later this Fall you can snag the PC version from Greenhouse digital distribution service (www.playgreenhouse.com) for $14.95 and from Xbox LIVE Arcade for 1200 MPl. As for all of you PS3 owners, hang in there. The PSN version of episode will follow shortly after.

Precipice of Darkness is a hysterical tongue-in-cheek romp with plenty of the dark satire and biting humor that keeps you coming back for more Penny Arcade webcomics. It's as fun to watch as it is to play. I can highly recommend it.
