If you like Penny Arcade comics this is an obvious buy for you. If you don't like them then...well this isn't going to change your mind. If you have no idea about Penny Arcade and are just looking for good RPGs, then this is a pretty fun one to pick up!

Interactive mix of ATB a la Final Fantasy 7 + Super Mario RPG leads to a game where not a single battle is a boring slog of simply waiting to defeat basic enemies who pose 0 threat. I personally returned to this game nearly 15 years after my first playthough on Xbox, and to my surprise the gameplay, humor, and comics-style visual language still holds up. Absolutely worth a play.
