Here's a review of a game I finished last weekend within 48 hours of obtaining it. I was that hooked, and it was that good. Let's talk about Penny Arcade's On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 4.

Full Synopses of Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness Episode 1 and Episode 2
I haven't written a review yet, but Penny Arcade's On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 4 is one of the best games I've played this year and one of the best RPGs in recent memory. It's excellent. But when I hear about it, one question always comes up:
Do I have to play the first three before I play this one?
The short answer is: probably not. Rain-Slick 4 briefly recaps the first three games and then drops you in the Underhell to get on with your adventure. But in case you're a gamer who prefers a thorough understanding of a series before you jump into a sequel (sometimes I'm that guy), Monsoon is here for you. I'll recap the events of the first TWO Penny Arcade Adventures games so you can get on with the third and fourth titles, which represent a change in direction and in presentation for the series. Sure, you could always check Wikipedia, but I'm doing this for me. Not just you.
