The game can also be played cooperatively, with the first player controlling DeathSpank and the second having a choice to control one of four sidekicks.

It was released Augfor PlayStation 3 via the PlayStation Network and Augfor Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows via Steam and for the Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade. It was published by Valcon Games on the Xbox 360 and independently on all other platforms. The Baconing is an action role-playing video game developed by Hothead Games. a 4th one in a row just like this might possibly be pushing it, but that doesn't mean the first 3 are bad in the least.Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 it's just a hilarious change of pace that i definitely appreciate. and anyone who truly loves deathspank isn't playing it for the visceral combat or brutal violence or intensity.
the first two games scored in the high 70's on metacritic and this one is holding in the 60's range but the only reason i can think of is that it's simply the same formula. they are definitely among the funniest games on xbla and psn, the action won't blow your mind but the entire package is too charming and hilarious to completely dismiss.
i suppose at this point the critics are trying to mark it down simply for using the same formula 3 times in a row, but these are $10-15 games not 60 dollar cash grabs. I just wanted to throw in my two cents on a game that somehow only has one other user review but i just wanted to remind people that if i love I just wanted to throw in my two cents on a game that somehow only has one other user review but i just wanted to remind people that if i love deathspank (1 or 2) then they'll love this too.
