Penny Arcade: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness

I just started playing the Penny Arcade game on the xbox 360. It's a lot of fun. An RPG reminiscent of the Paper Mario Series stylistically. The story line is really good, from the very beginning it hooks you with the opening, which leads you into character creation. From there the story is silly and adult like the comic series. There is swearing from the outset, something my inexperience has never encountered in a game. The F bomb has been dropped numerous times in the opening sequences of the game.

Combat is tricky, but I'm starting to get the hang of it. Unlike many games it does not give a clear signal when your opponent will attack you, so I have to use items, attack and block all at the same time, and I'm a total spaz!

There are several "chapters" of the game, so I'm pretty sure I travel through time at some point because this one takes place in 1922 in New Arcadia. We're chasing after giant evil robots!
