Hothead Games has officially announced that the Penny Arcade episodic games will be coming to Xbox Live Arcade starting in early 2008 with Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness. While that means that the game won't be coming out at the same time as it's Windows/Linux/Macintosh counterparts, but at least we will be able to eventually play it from the comfort of our couches.

Why should you care? Well, if you're not a fan of the excellent online thrice weekly web comic Penny Arcade, Ron Gilbert is on board as a consultant for the game. If you aren't old enough to know of his work you should find some way of finding out about it because those are games that all who have played hold dearly near their hearts.
