DeathSpank

Post by Siji »

"...in a life's journey paved in blood, and steel, and bacon..."

I don't do reviews as I'm too lazy.. but I highly recommend this game. It is to RPG's what Shrek was to Snow White. Crude, rude and unapologetic about it. There are so many laugh out loud moments in this game that I found myself stopping to have every option of a conversation with someone I could.

I believe it's available for 360, PS3 and PC and worth every minor penny they charge to get it.. I also love how every single achievement, avatar award (2!) and gamer picture reward is received just by playing through the game. No bullshit searching for hidden things off some completely unrelated path you normally wouldn't go on. Just play the game and be rewarded for it.. novel idea. Easy GS or Plat trophy either way.

My total played time was around 10 hrs I think.. for a $15 purchase. Compare that to Kane & Lynch 2 which was 5 hrs for $60, or Splinter Cell: Conviction which was around 6 hrs for $60. Neither of which were as much fun as DeathSpank.


Orphan: These aren't my teeth.
Deathspank: Whose are they?
Orphan: Your MOMMA'S! Hee hee!
Deathspank: Well played, parentless child.

Annie: "I love you daddy Deathspank!"
Deathspank: "And I love you, smelly, disgusting orphan... Now get in the bag."

Mayor; What do you know about orphans?
DeathSpank; They smell like rotten cabbage!

Just to clarify: As with most PSN titles there is no Platinum trophy in this game. But it does have lesser trophies that will add to your total trophy count.

It's not a penalty. You don't get 1000 Gamerscore from getting all the Achievements do you? Live games always have a reduced achievement count than retail games just like PSN games.

Just over $1 an hour for entertainment. Not bad!

Wish you could do screenshots in the game. There were so many things I wanted to capture..
