You would be forgiven for calling Penny Arcade Adventures
a modern day Monkey Island.

penny-arcade-episode-2-lgeThis being the second in their graphical adventures which takes your own created hero and has them team up with both Gabe and Tycho after your half rebuilt home is destroyed (again!) by the duo.

Soon you join their Startling Developments Detective Agency on yet another adventure to learn the secrets of New Arcadia, solving smaller cases for the townsfolk to uncover a deeper and darker secret. Like the first in the series, the game has managed to capture the fun and adventure of these classic games and also tried to introduce other mechanics along the way to modernise and give the series its own style of play. The puzzles are there, the humorous storyline and comic style graphics are all present.
