Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode One is one of my favorite videogames to write about. I don’t know if it’s all in the abnormally lengthy title, of if it’s because the game actually looks like it will be an enjoyable adventure/rpg. The game chronicles the adventures of comic duo Tycho Brahe and Gabe through a "robot-filled epic" that takes influence from Lovecraftian horror, among other things.

This video shows off some of the combat mechanics in the game, which resemble the sort of mid-attack button manipulation found in games like Paper Mario or Shadow Hearts. No official release date has been announced yet, but we do know that the game will be coming to both the PC and Xbox 360.
