Eurogamer: DeathSpank Review

Eurogamer: "I've counted three separate faecal inventory items, two other items that cause enemies to pinch off swirled, comedy loaves and innumerable references to bodily excretions."

Gonna download the demo on PSN nonetheless. IGN gave it an 8.5/10.

lol oh look another eurogamer review thats 2 points lower than the average(well so far)..I'm shocked

[GeoramA]

Yeah, it's like Edge reviewing a PS3 game.

I hate EG. Their so pretentious and uncomprimising in their reviews. They underate anything good and overate clear middling games like Singularity and CD2.

[Perjoss]

Are you saying they should not have given Uncharted 2 a 10 then? if you actually bother to read the EG reviews you will see that the reviews almost always read true to the final score, you cant get fairer than that. If you dont agree with the reviewer that's not his/her fault.

Reviews have to be taken with a pinch of salt, if the reviewer is not in the mood for that genre of game of course they will enjoy it a bit less and mark it down, there is a random element to it so stop looking at scores and start reading.

I read the review and didn't agree. I read most of EG's stuff and almost never agree. You brought up one example in UC2. It was GOTY obviously they would rate it high. That was a bad example. With everything there are exceptions.

I was looking forward to this game but I think I outgrew toilet humor 20 years ago. It's just sad that that's the best Ron Gilbert could come up with.

[Chuk5]

Don't abandon the game cuz EG gave it a 6. I would have never had my inner child cry happiness when I played transformers, if I listened to EG.

@Darkfiber

from a couple other reviews i read they said a few weapons are pulling from toilet humour(crap hammer etc.), but no mention of the game sporting this stale style for the story.

[DA_SHREDDER]

LOL! Video games are awesome!

[labwarrior]

I expected more from a 15$ game, though 8 hours is long enough

[Forbidden_Darkness]

Thats longer then some 60 dollars games :)

Thanks for the review Euro trash! What's up these guys snooty asses?!

[Skynetone]

why the hell is the camera so far away from the action, ohh ok i can move it with the right analogue, it all most ended before it started,

second impression

why the hell cant i jump, i dont think i can play a game where i cant jump, but the action is relentless, so ill play on

third impression

getting my ass kicked by my first encounter with the enemy wasnt very nice, and cant figure out how to kill them, without losing lives

overall it seems to have a lot of charm, and i sure hope death spank makes his quest, but its hard to justify spending money on it

PS. deathspank is fun
