5.0 out of 5 stars I laughed so hard I cried..., 24 Feb 2007
By 
This review is from: Penny Arcade Volume 1: Attack Of The Bacon Robots (Paperback)
This is a fantastic book which is a collection of the web comic strips which spans over about a year.

The stories revolve around two young men who are unhumanly obbessed with video games. The results are both side-splitting and nostalgic.

If you're a gaming fan then this is a must have!

3.0 out of 5 stars Genius, as always from Gabe and Tycho, 18 Jun 2006

This review is from: Penny Arcade Volume 1: Attack Of The Bacon Robots (Paperback)
It's somewhat incredible that even after 7 years Penny Arcade is still as fresh, witty and downright brilliant as it ever was. A quick look through this book not only gives you wave after wave of nostalgia (I'd forgotten how bad Daikatana was) but also shows how little the quality has dropped since day one. Perfect timing, word play, slapstick, artistic visions and one downright tear inducing strip make this a worthwhile purchase. If you are a fan then get this, if you are not then get it anyway and become a fan.

And in the style of Penny Arcade I must include the word wang in this review...wang.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok I suppose...., 23 Oct 2009

This review is from: Penny Arcade Volume 1: Attack Of The Bacon Robots (Paperback)
I'll keep this short and sweet, and remember, this is only my own personal opinion ! The book is okay. Nothing more.

I've been reading a glut of comics lately, and have been lucky enough to come across gems like KODT, PVP, Real Life, Bruno the Bandit, Order of the Stick, Starslip Crisis, and my own personal fave Dork Tower. And I prefer them all to this. I doubt I'll try Volume 2.

But, they must be doing something right at Penny Arcade, 'cos thousands love it ! Sorry guys.
