Episode 1, like the comic strip that spawned it, isn’t for little kids. It is rated M, and for good reason. Krahulik and Holkins have managed to transition their witty – although vulgar – humor from static images on the Internet to a moving, well-playing, and altogether funny game. Episode 1’s only real shortcoming is the price. Fans of Penny Arcade will most likely look at the 1600 point ($20 USD) price tag and purchase right away, but Rain-Slick Precipice is currently the most expensive offering on the arcade, and the adventure clocks in at only around eight hours which is fairly short by RPG standards.
