News Escaping from the Darkness: Penny Arcade Game News!

"Hothead Games today punched its rambling epic, Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode One (phew!), with a $19.95 price tag. That's just over 30 cents a letter (colons not included), assuming cost is derived, as it is for all episodic games, by the title's length. Currently, that price applies to all versions of the game, which include PC, Mac, Linux and Xbox Live Arcade editions. 1600 Microsoft Points ($20) would be new territory for digital distribution on Xbox 360, but clearly, Hothead and its two stars have made it a point to be living on the edge."Joystiq...

But the most important question wasn't answered.  WHEN IS THIS GAME COMING OUT?  Also, I really love the look and philosophy of this game but if every episode is $20 this game could end up being a pretty hefty investment.  Forget Elder Scrolls microtransaction woes, at $20 a pop this game could easily hit $100 in no time.
