Maybe it’s the upcoming expo, or that we made the focus of this week’s wrapup on the comic series, or maybe (just maybe) it was the favored gaming comic. Whatever the reasons, Penny Arcade’s “A Life of Service” took top honors in the webcomic wrapup.
Second place was taken by 2P Start’s Level Up!, while Hijinks Ensue’s Scared Straight claimed a distant third. A special mention goes to Robot Martini’s two great tastes, which came in last place, although we actually quite enjoyed it. …

As promised, Sony and Incognito have rolled the latest Warhawk update out of its hanger, prompting a mandatory install once you begin the game. Major additions for version 1.5 of the game include much-anticipated PlayStation Trophies (57 of them, with a good mix of gold, silver, bronze, and “mystery offerings”) and support for custom music via the in-game XMB.
We’ve just installed the patch and are firing up a match with Hanson’s “MMMBop” on full blast! Sure, the update’s no new-map-and-rocket-packs gala …

Microsoft has released their partial game schedule for the upcoming Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle, and it’s chock full of Gears of War 2, Halo Wars, and the New Xbox Experience … experience. Sure there’s plenty of other stuff happening at their booth as well, but we’re drooling over these three right now, fetch the bibs.

Next week at the Penny Arcade Expo, we’ve been given a opportunity to sit down for an interview with PA creators Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik (i.e. Tycho and Gabe). While we’d love to brainstorm hard-hitting questions for the two, we suddenly realize we’re very lazy people.
