4.0 out of 5 stars Someone has missed the point here..., 25 Mar 2007
By Mr. Graham Layfield "lazygamer" (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Yes, this is not going to be for someone just browsing this site thinking, 'Ooh, this looks like something I'd read'. This is for hardcore fans only. But that's the point. They are not trying to sell this to people new to the Penny Arcade universe, this is for fans of the online comic who would like a hard copy of the Penny Arcade archives.

Yes, this is simply a compendium of strips from the site with commentary from the creators. It's not trying to be anything else. They're not trying to explain each comic because you might not know why it's funny, they're explaining each comic because of the time many of the strips were 'valid' for.

Some strips are funny whenever you look at them, but they openly admit some are not funny now, simply because the news/trivia the strip was based on is long forgotten not by many readers, but even by the authors themselves. Penny Arcade books are not just an archive of the Penny Arcade site, they're an archive of computer gaming history (and jokes about Duke Nukem Forever).

If I lost you at 'hardcore', then this isn't for you. But if you're looking for a collection of (mostly, currently funny) comic strips based on computer games, and insight and commentary from the creators, then this is for you.

1.0 out of 5 stars A fans only book, 13 Mar 2007
By Mr. Graham J. Ribchester "Ribbo" (Manchester, England.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What we have here, in essence, are a pair of mid twenty year olds, who make the same crude jokes you would find in an internet chatroom. The only difference is one of them can use the mighty power of Photoshop to enhance his otherwise average drawings so that they stand out to the artistically ignorant and easily amused gamer.
Don't get me wrong, Penny Arcade have been known to make funnies, you buy enough tickets, eventually you win the raffle. But neither the writing by itself, or the artwork, would get noticed or indeed hired by a company.
The book is outdated and often requires forewards by the author to explain why the joke in the comic strip is humorous. It's as if they make out that you are not educated enough to understand it without their help, when in fact the opposite is true. You're probably far too educated to enjoy the crude 'humour' and no degree of explaining will make it funny.
In summary, the writing is nothing your friend hasn't once said to you in a drunken musing and the artwork compliments the writing perfectly in that respect. If you read the comic strip and like it, then you already know what you are getting and you should buy it to support Penny Arcade so that they may release more pearls of wisdom. However if you are a browser looking for some cutting edge humour mixed in with gifted artwork, keep searching.
