There’s enough here for the game to be worth the low admission price, and what it lacks in ingenuity, it makes up for in personality. Luckily, if you get really stuck a friend can press start and get to slashing up baddies alongside DeathSpank. Early on DeathSpank makes fun of you for dying, suggesting maybe you should turn down the difficulty, but that he won’t respect you much. Even boss battles are surprisingly dull, not to mention difficult. Unfortunately, mission structure is quite repetitive: Go here, kill this, collect this, return, rinse, repeat. Luckily, when you get stuck, there are a plethora of fortune cookies to pick up in the game – each can be used to supply a hint if you get stuck.For the perfectionists out there, there are tons of missions to accomplish and most gamers will never have to touch a fortune cookie. But be warned, the game doesn’t waste time acquainting you with characters or game mechanics. After an impressive debut and a quick second release, DeathSpank can now stand on its own without riding unwarranted coattails.Those that liked the first will almost certainly like the second, but if you never got your spank on the first time around, you can skip the debut. But mostly, they’re completely different games, and comparing the two doesn’t give DeathSpank’s addicting armor-cum-costume changes and impressive 2.5 dimension graphics enough credit. Night joined Guns N’ Roses (Get it…? Hack and Slash?). both games have loot, micro-quests, and more hack and slash than if M. Experiencing every punch line twice ruins almost any joke.And then there’s that pesky Diablo comparison. On top of all that, you have to read Death Spank’s dialogue only to have to listen to him say it right after. Which means that nearly every line is spoken slow and with way too much emphasis. Sounds like Monkey Island.Part of the reason the jokes fall flat is that though the dialogue is usually funny, or at least humorous, the game’s emphasis is on the characters’ flamboyant accents and tones.

That’s why it’s no surprise the annoying loveable protagonist is back at work on Xbox Live Arcade and the PS3 Network, this time collecting six magical and evil thongs.Ron Gilbert dubbed the original DeathSpank as a mixture of “Tales of Monkey Island” and “Diablo.” The resemblance to ToMI’s writing style is apparent: the jokes are piled on hard and fast, layer after layer, so even when they fall flat (often) there’s always another one only a click away. When your name is DeathSpank, your work is never done. And there’s more! DeathSpank does not fight alone but with the amazingly cool Ninja Steve Greedy (a Ninja named Steve, I know, I know!

We say this along with other, less printable things, of course, but the jist is there. So filter it with 'Increased Value' scan only. And yes if the bar seems to decrease it doesn't mean XP has decreased. Keep on searching till you arrive upon 1 or 2 addresses. Internally we say it’s what would happen if you put those two games in a sack with a Mad Magazine joke collection and let them fight it out Thunderdome-style. What I recommend is using and 'Unknown Initial Value' scan with value type 'All (From Byte to Double)'. In press releases we say DeathSpank is Monkey Island meets Diablo, a hack and slash action RPG set on a massive, dangerous, world shaped like an Edison Gramaphone Cylinder.
But then again, we like to think a lot of things. We like to think DeathSpank is jam-packed of what is missing in video games - story, solid gameplay, and (intentional) humor.
