Zero Punctuation: DeathSpank & Limbo

I've played Deathspank twice, first as Deathspank and then as Sparkles, the co-op partner. I love it, because funny games are my favorite. Seriously, if you liked Monkey Island, you will love this game. I recommend playing on co-op though. It's a different and more fun experience to have a buddy laughing along with you.
Played the PSN demo of Deathspank and I enjoyed it a lot. BUT Yahtzee is spot on with the criticism on the tiny text. I found myself squinting so damn much. This is apparently not I game I can play from bed, as I tried to do. So aside from the absurdly small text and some other details being kind of an eyestrain, the only other annoyance was the invisible walls. It's not always clear where you can or cannot walk. I found the parody/humor in it to be a bit too obvious, probably something I would get tired of pretty quick in the full thing.
Don't have xbox so no comment on the other game.

haha, same. So good.Sinclose said:
SC2 can suck it...hilarious. How many times has he been requested to review already? Is funny how the big marketing star games especially are yearned for a review by this amazing games jester, do we want our lording justified?
Massive truck tire-sized pizzas, 2-liter carbonated beverages, and DeathSpank... good times for all indeed. 
Wasn't all that cracked up about Limbo personally. Sure, the dreary atmosphere was haunting, but the fact that the kid drowns the second his head gets fully submerged underwater was one of a few reasons why the game didn't make me wanna put on my dress pants and crack open a bottle of expensive vodka.

Neither funny or clever.... He bitches about games looking & being generic, then bitches about something looking quirky & diffrent, think he's eaten too many cocks.
I really like when Yahtzee reviews smaller games like these...Maybe next time try out Deadliest Warrior eh?!
ok, first I will say that his comment about SC2 did tick me off.
does it matter to me, no, I still play the game and I accept his opinion and aversion to playing a genre he doesn't like, even though he's done so before
here's somethign odd, notice how almost everyone here is talking about a couple of one sentence comments at the end of the review(s) rather than the review(s) itself (themselves)
as to the reviews, feels more like an older ZP review and I like that, I might take a look at deathspank if I can ever find an XBOX points card (they sell fast in this city) but limbo just doesn't sound like a game for me, I'm not much for angstt stuff.
hopefully we'll be able to drop the unimportant stuff here soon, like non-stop discussion about a couple simple comments after hsi actual review had finished.
makes me wonder what he might review next week, maybe more indy stuff or one of those racing games?

Humor can only take you so far, whereas an invigorating story still has the somewhat redeeming factor of being like a book. Terrible gameplay can lessen the expierience but it can destroy the humor, especially if it isn't funny.
Deathspank was really funny, like laugh out loud funny, and the whole "you need a big TV to get the jokes" angle of the review was lame. If you're going to review a humorous game you better be fucking hilarious in your own right and I'm afraid Yahtzee didn't bring it this time.
i see i expected him to talk about limbo and i got deathspank as a extra.i do wonder how hes gonna keep making more reviews he has to run out of games sooner or latter.
I bought DeathSpank and played it on a 22" screen and had no problem with texts, but then again I have perfect vision . I enjoyed it a lot an now I find myself often thinking "Hero of the downtrodden. Vanquisher of evil. Dispenser of justice.". Also played it with a friend, but found the supporting character a bit bland. Also lack of explanation on how stuff works on the magician, but those are small complains. The game is totally worth it and I had some huge laughs, although some of the humor is flat. I'll end with a statement of Death Spank himself:
"Be a hero and buy this game!"
