According to VGAChartz, Penny Arcade Adventures, first installment in the episodic action-RPG series based on the cult comic broke the record for the highest-grossing debut, raking in around $ 330,000 (around Rs. 14,14,500)in over three days. The previous holder for a record 3 day opening, Worms HD was beaten by $50,000.
While some might bitch about that fact that the game costs 1600 points (Rs. 1070) a large chunk of Xbox Live users are actually laying down their points for this title.
However the news gets sweeter. Being one of the first games to break the 150mb limit set by Microsoft (now expanded to 350mb) shows that there definitely is a market for developers looking to pack more awesome-sauce into their digital delights. Along with this, it goes to show that in spite of recent events, the RPG genre isn’t going to hell. Just yet.
