Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode One, the first in a series of episodic games from pseudonym-prone comic strip duo Gabe and Tycho, will break a lot of new ground when it is eventually released. Being the first episodic game available for not only Windows-based computers, but Mac, Linux, and Xbox Live Arcade, the developers have left practically no one out in the lurch. To that end, and what will hopefully prove to be a trend in the industry, the minimum requirements to run the game are - get this - actually reasonable.

The game, which will affectionately be referred to as PAA:ORSPD:EO from here on out, will also be the most costly game released on Xbox 360’s Live Arcade. While every version of the game will carry the same price of $20, this is effectively double the cost of the nearest Live Arcade competitor.

No release date has been given yet, but I’d imagine we’ll hear something within the next few months. Check the chart hidden behind the break (and lifted from Joystiq) to see if your system is up to scruff. I can already nearly assure you it will.
