Even if you may not be familiar with the name Rokoban, chances are you've already played it, or even just a spin-off of the game. If you want to experience it in nice, juicy 3D, however, you can check out homebrew developer Zalo's take on Sokoban, Rokoban. Check it out in the full article.

Penny Arcade has recently published a three-frame comic strip in its site based on their experiences finding a copy of the seemingly rare Puzzle Quest. The comic features Tycho and Gabe talking about the game with a dialogue that pokes fun at killing and games. The character talks in a way similar to a certain public figure infamous in the gaming world.

Need a clue? He's been suing people left and right for violent content in video games which he sees inappropriately rated by electronic media regulatory boards.

On a side note, there's been some buzz with people saying that the game is a little hard to find the past few weeks. Although the game has a PSP version, some gamers prefer the one on the PC because of the display size. Apparently, some don't enjoy the game fully when all the text crowds up in the PSP's screen. Blending RPG and puzzle elements, the game has hit a significant niche in the crowded game market.

Puzzle Quest is also available for the DS and mobile platforms.

Throughout the month of August, we've been posting entries about the 3rd annual Penny Arcade Expo (PAX). And just to remind you guys, the 3-day consumer gaming extravaganza started today (and like they said, it's not exactly like E3)! It's a gaming culturefest that includes music shows, exhibits, seminars, lectures, and, of course, lots and lots of games - the expo floor is home to Microsoft, Nintendo, and other developers who are exhibiting some of their upcoming games.

So, if some of you fanboys and girls have nothing to do during this weekend... you might have missed the events today, but maybe you'd want to drop by and join in on the all the following activities:
