360 - Pac-Man - Xbox Live Arcade - MS: '50 Live Arcade games by year end'

Last week Microsoft put some order into Live Arcade by announcing Xbox Live Arcade Wednesdays, a new promotion which - funnily enough - sees Live Arcade receiving new titles on Wednesdays. Things jumped into action with Frogger appearing on Arcade on July 12, and so far it's been announced that Frogger will be followed by Cloning Clyde, Galaga, Street Fighter II' Hyper Fighting and Pac-Man.

But naturally the Wednesday Live Arcade fun won't end there and according to Xbox Live Arcade group manager Greg Canessa Microsoft is targeting 30 Arcade titles "by the end of summer" and 50 "by the end of the calendar year."

360 - Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One - Penny Arcade Game Pimped With Flamebait

Kotaku reports: "When a movie's major, above-the-title testimonial comes from Access Hollywood, Rex Reed, or a television station in New Mexico, chances are it's going to be a real turd of an operation. Penny Arcade is trying that in reverse with On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode One. They're flacking it with the rantings of an anti-Penny Arcade troll.

'Penny arcade sucks and is unfunny. please murder penny arcade and then yourself if you disagree with me,' raves commenter ddf of Wired blog! He goes on to say, "this game sucks and anyone who likes it sucks. penny arcade sucks and is as funny as something that's not funny at all.'"

Kotaku: Penny Arcade Game Impressions

360 News from N4G | Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One

360 - Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One - Kotaku: Penny Arcade Game Impressions

Kotaku writes: " After finishing up playing a bit of Too Human coop yesterday, I noticed a demo station of Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness sitting all by itself, tucked away next to the Ninja Gaiden II stations.

Since the game wasn't getting official demos, I decided to take our 30 minute break between games to sit down with a game and take it for a test drive.

The game starts off by letting you customize your character's look and clothing. The selection isn't as robust as I would have liked to see (no luxuriously long hair guys? I'm hurt) but there's still more than enough to make the character feel like one of your own.

The game itself unwinds slowly through an amalgam of comic panel and full motion cut scenes that are both narrated by a... um... narrator. This voice is actually the only one you'll ever hear in the game. I'm told this is because fans of the web comic have their own and wildly varied ideas of how the characters should sound (For instance my Gabe and Tycho sound like Asterix and Obelix).

I was surprised at how much I enjoying playing what I did of the game. It felt very much like a blending of some of the best bits of different types of games. It has, for instance, a distinct role-playing flavor to it, but there's also a point-and-click adventure and action element to the game."
