DeathSpank mixes comedy with challenging play
Dying in video games is easy; comedy is hard. DeathSpank has plenty of both. Its titular hero is a blockheaded slab of beef who stabs first and asks questions later. His search for a powerful artifact leads to a series of increasingly absurd missions, like rescuing a bunch of kidnapped orphans not for their own sake, but so the mayor can use them as political props.
