[xtop]

After debuting on PC, XBLA and Mac earlier this year, many wondered why Penny Arcade Adventures was not coming out on PS3. Thankfully, developer Hothead Games has listened to your input and has announced a PS3 version will release on PSN later this year. "We keep getting emails asking why our Penny Arcade game is not on PSN," said Hothead's CEO, Vlad Ceraldi. "We have always said we wanted to have our games on as many platforms as possible to give choice to gamers. All good things take time and we are very excited to be debuting our first PS3 title and look forward to bringing more games to this platform in the future."

On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness is an RPG adventure game set in a 1920s pulp-horror universe, featuring many characters from the popular Penny Arcade webcomic series. The PS3 version of the game will be priced similarly to the release on XBLA and PC. See the very first images of the PS3 version in our new gallery.

sweeet!

That is pretty impressive for a game from such a small group! Wow!

[Terjyn]

I'd bet Microsoft paid at least 100 million dollars for this timed exclusive!

Those greedy bastards.

Now all we need is Rez HD, and then my life is set.

...

score!

Most definitely a win!
Now how about that Homestar Runner/Strong Bad game?

Yay! I tried the demo on PC and it was enjoyable...not exactly a perfectly designed game, but good laughs everywhere and decent gameplay.

Trophy hunters looking for an RPG fix will be able to get it this Thursday, when Penny Arcade Adventures' first episode goes live on the PlayStation Network. The PS3 version will also support custom soundtracks, score ranking and a new low price of $15 (the XBLA original cost $20). Other regions will get PAA "shortly thereafter."

Not just that, but episode 2 will apparently be a simultaneous release (or very shortly after XBL release) on PSN:

"We're so excited to finally be able to get this version into gamers' hands," said Hothead Games founder Vlad Ceraldi, "that we wanted to extend the same value and opportunity to anyone else who hasn't had a chance yet to play Episode One. Other platforms and digital distribution services can make their own decision regarding pricing, of course, but we're recommending under $15 for this and all episodes going forward. Episode Two will be coming to PLAYSTATION Network before Christmas and we are really happy how it turned out."

The PlayStation Store update will be pretty significant today, it seems. Not only will Crash Commando come out today, the next episode of the Penny Arcade Adventures will be available. Episode Two adds multiple difficulty settings and will offer Trophy support.

Check it out on the PlayStation Store for $14.99 later today.

It's a common bug and they say they have a bugfix for it coming. Hopefully it solves it and you can use the save again, but we'll see when it comes out. I got it too and I'm on the last stage, I refuse to play the game through from the beginning again, it wasn't THAT good.
