Penny Arcade Adventures comes to Steam, gets new achievements

So,Penny Arcade Adventures?We liked it. Quite a bit, actually. However, the price and the game’s length (I finished in about 8 hours) were somewhat debated after people plunked down their hard-earned dollars for it. Luckily, that didn’t seem to stop further sales, and now Steam users can join in the fun too. The game can be downloaded directly from theSteam websiteas of now and will set you back $19.99. However, it seems that new achievements have been added to this version, although the details of those achievements were not shared....

None other than Wall-nut Hills As confirmed earlier this week,a newPlants vs. Zombiesgame is in development for “consoles and PC.” While there could one day be another classic-stylePvZtitle (and I’d be one-hundred percent down for that if it stayed away from microtransactions), most of us assume EA meansGarden Warfare 3. I’m a little concerned about what form it might take given the genre’s battle-royale-loving landscape, but we’ll see. A third installment that takes the best fromGW1andGW2would hit the spot this year....
