From the get-go, Penny Arcade Adventures has been playing catch-up on the PlayStation 3. However, Hothead Games' webcomic-inspired adventure game series will soon achieve parity across consoles. The developer announced today that Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness - Episode Two will be available through the PlayStation Network this Thursday for $14.99.

Episode Two picks up where the well-received first installment left off, with franchise protagonists Tycho and Gabe further embarking on their Internet-culture-meets-Lovecraftian-horror adventure. Players can import characters created in the first episode or start from scratch, and Hothead has also added multiple difficulty levels to the formula. The episodic developer expects players to need up to 10 hours to complete the game.

As detailed in GameSpot's review of the Xbox 360 version, Episode Two offers a more fleshed-out storyline than the first, though its adventure elements remain lacking. The game also packs a wickedly perverse sense of humor; audiences, be warned.

Along with PAA: Episode Two, EPOS Game Studios' Crash Commando will mobilize on the PlayStation Network this Thursday. The side-scrolling 2D competitive shooter can be had for $9.99. For more on Crash Commando, check out GameSpot's comprehensive preview of the game from last week.

    I'm glad it didn't take so long this time, but I would be happier if they were simultaneous. This kind of thing is only making the PS3 look less bad, rather than good.

    It's nice to see the PS3 version out so soon. I wonder what exclusivity deal Microsoft has with PA or if there's even one at all? It'd be nice to have Episode release on both consoles at the same time. If not, at least the PS3 version isn't far off.

    This game is out so much sooner than expected, same with the Fallout update. Merry Christmas PS3 owners. This is great! Penny Arcade is the only thing filling my true RPG needs, it's a solid game.
