Diehard GameFAN: The Baconing
DHGF: The Baconing is a wonderful example of the old adage about squeezing blood from a stone. In roughly a year, Hothead Games has put out three Deathspank titles, all with the same engine, visuals and enemies. They all offer the same fetch quests and standard button mashing hack and slash bits. The only difference is that by now, the joke that was Deathspank has become worn out and dull. Is it really worth $14.99 to play what amounts to the same game for the third time? That ends up being $45 for a serious case of Déjà Vu. Yuck. Instead, look to something like Sam and Max (or anything by Telltale Games, really) if you want to experience mini episodic gaming done right.
