The whole interface was very intuitive, as was the equipment menu, which clearly indicates which items and weapons are better than what you currently have equipped, and which require a higher level to use. I was able to map one weapon to each of the four face buttons on the Xbox 360 controller the D-pad works similarly, only for potions (insta-heal), drumsticks (flee danger while chomping on 'em) and support items. So, DeathSpank receives quests - some are "Important Things I Need to Do" in his quest journal, others simply "Unimportant" side quests - and sets out to complete them, using ranged and melee weapons. The NPCs respond in kind, with wonderfully odd answers and retorts to DeathSpank's over-dramatic questioning.

The NPCs respond with wonderfully odd answers and retorts to DeathSpank's over-dramatic questioning. This happens at a quick pace, and, in the case of a hammer and cleaver in the demo, can cause the ground to quake or send enemies flying. Not all of his weapons are special like these, but throughout his quest he'll happen upon or be rewarded with tools of mass dismemberment that behave a little differently when his Justice Meter is fully powered up. plaid.ĭeathSpank (the character) is a dispenser of justice and, as such, wields Weapons of Justice (WoJ). Also, it's about bacon and a hero who's favorite number is. His new downloadable game is a fast-paced, button-mashy loot-'em-up, as well as an adventure filled with interesting characters and diabolically funny dialog. I found this out for myself earlier this week when the 'Stiq had its first hands-on ( we'd seen it at PAX 2009) with DeathSpank, the latest game from Ron Gilbert, designer of The Secret of Monkey Island (but not Diablo).

In a move that will likely be music to the ears of those tired of suffering with a bad back or gardener's knee, a third of the gardens at the Chelsea Flower Show this year will feature plants traditionally regarded as weeds, including brambles, thistles and knapweed.
