Penny Arcade Episode One

Now 800 points on the Xbox Live Marketplace as part of deal of the week

http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-GB/ga...-d8025841090d/ is the direct link.

I've been interested in it since it came out but the price put me off so this is perfect

Started it yesterday

Not sure why I hadn't already picked it up (actually I do it was the price like you) and I'm loving it. I'm quite a way into it now and I'll definately be trying to get 200/200 and the 2nd episode straight after. The combat can take a little while to get used and some of the fights are a tad frantic and unforgiving (especially if you're after all the achievements) but for the most part with the right tactics and items they're not too bad.

I do the lovecraftian setting and well, you know I like me rpgs so I'm giving it a big thumbs up

Daz · 07-04-2009, 12:38

I'm 400/400 over the 2 episodes now, definitely recommend the first one at that price

Hmm. I have 800 points sat around doing nowt. Queued the demo for download because I don't know what it is. If it's a deal of the week does tnat mean it'll go to a higher price, and if so, when?

Next Monday morning it will go back to 1600 points.

Thanks and duly noted.

Psymonkee · 07-04-2009, 16:36

I'll give the demo a go & see from there.

Never really like PA

Pickers · 07-04-2009, 16:39

I only have 700 points... May try the demo out...

Aboobie · 07-04-2009, 20:07

Finished it. Excellent stuff and well worth the purchase.

And, bloody hell Daz, that last fight was tough, very impressed with the 200/200 now! Wasn't prepared for the automatic save after it so no chance to try again and not sure I'm really up for another playthrough.

Daz · 07-04-2009, 20:09

Yeah, took a few attempts that. Was tipped off about the save quirk so it didnt get me

If you got all the others another play through wouldn't take long I'd bet.
