DeathSpank
A comedic action-RPG developed by Hothead Games, and headed by Ron Gilbert of Monkey Island fame.
The humor is top notch, but the game gets repetitive and dull
DeathSpank is a funny game – a really funny game. It is one of the most genuinely funny games to come out in a long time. It is really close to being a great game, but some design flaws bog it down an… Read more

This is a game from one of the minds that brought about Lucasarts golden age of adventure gaming with his crowning achievement being those Monkey Island games. It's pretty much a diablo type game wher… Read more
Despite It's Repetitiveness, Deathspank Is Still Quite a Fun Game

Greetings Jocular Downloadable Time Passer!!
So is it Diablo crossed with The Secret of Monkey Island? Not really, but it’s an action RPG with loot like Diablo, and it has humorous dialogue like in Secret of Monkey Island. Deathspank is the late… Read more
Quick, dirty, fun.
When I first saw this game, the giant man with a lightning rod and name Deathspank kind of pulled at me. I installed the game and was quickly taken into the world of Deathspank. Though not terribly di… Read more
Although brief, Deathspank's mindless adventure is worth it.
The sense of humor portrayed in Hothead Game’s Deathspank is the deciding factor of what makes the overall product so great. To it’s credit, Deathspank is not very revolutionary, nor does it strive to… Read more
It's like Diablo, but funny.

A very worthy downloadable title
DeathSpank is a game that I see getting a lot of mixed opinions about lately. Some like it for what it is, while others see what it isn't and wish it were more. I am of the former group. Growing up pl… Read more
Short and sweet. But mostly short.
From the moment I first heard of DeathSpank coming to PSN, I knew I had to get it. As an old Monkey Island fan I couldn't let anything Ron Gilbert slip past me - and besides, the premise looked intere… Read more

Entertaining Hack & Slash
It's a fun, goofy, hack & slash with some dry humor thrown in. It lost a lot of it's charm about half way through but I was invested enough by then to see it through to the finish. The block and c… Read more
Tries to hard and falls on its face

Worth every Oprhan...
There was a cut scene in the middle of DeathSpank that had me laughing out loud. People often use hyperbole in describing classic adventure games, particularly those of Ron Gilbert. I don't think I ha… Read more
Just Short of Epic
DeathSpank's his name, and he's not going to take any guff in his first game (unless it's from a belligerent quest giver, of course). DeathSpank is a lot of things; defender of the downtrodden, saviou… Read more

Will somebody think of the children? No? Okay.
Deathspank flows through the system like a combination of mixed drugs. It’s a video game speedball; the mixture of coke and heroine that killed your favorite actors and musicians. In my case, the inje… Read more
