Here's another quicky-review, this time about the new Penny Arcade RPG
Supershort Take-
How much do you like Penny Arcade? How much do you like Turn-Based Retro-style RPGs? If the answer to both questions is "I bark like a trained seal every time anything even resembling X is mentioned," congratulations- you should buy Penny Arcade 3: Electric Boogaloo. Otherwise, it's a "comedy" game with very limited humor potential, a million annoying little features (or missing features, to be precise) , and music that I'm sure was developed to torture detainees at Gitmo (BAM, political commentary). It is almost saved by a pretty neat combat system, but it pulls shitty from the jaws of "ok for ten bucks" by having too many same-y fights which you can (and should) play through on autopilot.
