A silly, clever game available on PSN ($14.99), DeathSpank's a fun RPG whose job it is to provide me with comic relief when I can't keep the farkin horse going in the direction I want it to in Red Dead Redemption.
I looked at it when it was released in July, and thought I'd save my cash. The stillshots that passed for preview material didn't move me.
But when a friend told me he thought the game was off the wall, I waded around on the PSN Store until I found a playable demo. I was still laughing, hours after I finished the thing.
And then discovered PSN had the game on sale for half price. So I grabbed it.
It turned out to be a bargain (I'd have paid the full price but who am I to argue with a sale?)
In an era of $60 games, HotHead Games has come up with a little piece of magic.
