If you've spent even the slightest bit of time online searching for something good to read, you may have heard of Penny Arcade's Gabe and Tycho. Well, they've got a video game in the works, and it's finally gone gold. Learn more about the game and how it'll be distributed after the jump!

 

You can't talk about web comics without mentioning Tycho and Gabe's Penny Arcade Adventures. With their off-beat, tongue-in-cheek style of comedy about the video gaming industry, gamers will finally get to experience this unique brand of humor in Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness (I personally blame Tycho and Gabe for such a mouthful of a title for their game) developed by Hothead Games.

Suffice to say, the developers are having a lot of fun making the game, probably as much as players will have playing it. Don't take my word for it - in an interview with Joel DeYoung, the producer of Hothead, he gives the team at QJ.net the low-down on the upcoming game based, of course, on the Penny Arcade Adventures web comic. He talks about many interesting points regarding the game's mechanics, as well as the active involvement of the web comic's creators.

The game was originally unveiled during last year's Penny Arcade Expo. There's been no official release date set, however, you can expect it to come out by years end. Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness is slated to come out on the PC, Mac, Linux, and Xbox 360 (Xbox Live Arcade) platforms. Either way, fans everywhere will be waiting with baited breath for the game's release. Don't worry, though, we'll be sure to give you up-to-date reports on the game as we get them.

Following the announcement of *takes a deep breath* Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness (boy, that's a mouthful) heading to the Xbox Live Arcade, Hothead Games and Penny Arcade just launched the official website for their upcoming episodic title.

The website will give the fans of Gabe and Tycho some game-related content and news. You can even view some trailers, screenshots, and fact sheets about the game. The website will also be used to launch the individual episodes in the series once they become available for purchased download.

On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode One is scheduled to roll out later this year for the PC, Mac OS X, Linux, and Xbox 360 platforms.

It's a bit hard to make the connection of a webcomic suddenly being transformed into a videogame, but Penny Arcade's proven that it's possible with this latest trailer video of Penny Arcade Adventures, On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness.

In this video, we see Tycho and Gabe in their cel-shaded 3D selves, showing off their skills with fisticuffs and firearms. We also see some of the opponents you'll be able to fight - namely the terrifying hobo, the dastardly mime and the dreaded clown. There's a bit of gameplay as well, and from the look of things, it's going to be a blast to play. We certainly hope so.

In any case, enjoy the video!
