DeathSpank Enjoys Both Spankings and Death
I assume that if the guy who made the Monkey Island games makes a new game, you guys want to hear about it, right? I hope so, because otherwise I’ve wasted everyone’s time by posting this trailer for DeathSpank, Ron Gilbert’s upcoming Xbox Live/PSN hack-n’-slash. It’s very much like a medieval version of The Tick, which is by no means a bad thing, especially when swords and orphans are involved. I just hope there’s more spanking involved than this trailer shows.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
