I played and enjoyed the first game from Penny Arcade shortly after it came out. I guess I was a bit surprised by its vulgarity, but I enjoyed it. Now, I’ve just finished the second game.

I suppose that it was a bit of a disappointment that the second one is also titled “On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness”. It’s such a beautifully over-the-top title that I’d hoped that they could have come out with a different over-the-top title for this one. You know, something like “Spelunking the Cavern to Underhell” or “Deathgrip on a Fistful of Zombie Throat”.

Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik’s second game is just as enjoyable as the first, and has some minor improvements to the engine – enemies now sometimes flee from battle, and at other times, enemies call in backup.

If you like the Penny Arcade style of humor, I’d definitely recommend this game. You get to coat a poodle in pure gold, torture Gabe, beat up young lovestruck couples, and inject yourself with urine. Fun times.
