Things To Do: 1. Save orphans, 2. Save world, 3. Get tacos 02 May, 2010 / 9 comments

Ron Gilbert and EA Games have been going around the offices of various game websites that are not Mixnmojo and giving them forty minutes to goof around with Deathspank, which is being released this summer. Here is a preview from Gamepro; here is one from IGN; and finally, here is one from Joystiq.

Update: There's game footage, plus an interview with Ron, on Gamespot. Thanks to tenochtitlan and, indirectly, Death-spank.de, for the link.

Update II: Here are a couple of extra previews, courtesy of GamesRadar and A+E Interactive. As always, thanks to Death-Spank.de for the links. You can also look at this this interview, which shows a bit more of the game, but also has some spoilers. You get to see the main menu though.

It's probably worth mentioning that the game has multiplayer. Probably. Nah, forget it.

    :~ You're spoiling us.

    Death-spank.de: 5
    Mixnmojo: 1

    I'll stick those up in the next Deathspank update. Very good work. You're crazier than I am, and that's *not* an insult.

    One more from Destructoid (usual stuff + better items will be highlighted in the inventory) and 1UP posted a video of the "Vicious Chicken Lips" quest from the beginning of the game (slightly spoilerish...).

    Add two why-should-you-care previews to the list:
    GamesRadar
    A+E Interactive

    P.S.: And my site has a little "-" to seperate the death from the spanking, so right now your link points to Ron's old German domain which he apparently abandoned to some domain parking company (at least they're not doing context-sensitive ads...) ;)

    And Gabez probably was third in this news-a-thon, I sent him a mail which also had the GameSpot preview plus some new ingame video material ;)

    Ah great news - this game has always looked/sounded like something I'd like, it's good to see that it's apparently fun to play.

    @Kroms.

    I had a post submitted 3 minutes prior, forgot to click the company checkbox, and it didn't post (though it look like it has in the backend) and a browser back lost all my typing. I retyped it, and were then beaten by your post.

    I had the better headline, but your content is superior.

    At least old Mojo told you to fill out all the required fields (and the preview worked). Bah.

    Bwahaha. Your admittedly superior headline and newspost was no match for my mad fast typing and clicking skills, jp! I may have won by a second...but I came in first. Bwahaha.
