SquareGo: The Baconing Review

SquareGo writes:

"Reviewing games for a living essentially means playing ultra-violent video games all day whilst surrounded by a harem of women of ill repute. As such, reviewers often tend to be quite good at gaming. So, it comes as a bit of a shock to the ego when a reviewer fails miserably at a game – an Xbox Live one at that..."

I bought the first 2 Deathspank games, and liked them a lot. The second one recycled way too much material from the first one for my tastes though (characters and, more crucially, missions), and both suffered from an over-abundance of fetch-quests and repetitiveness. But the humor and art style made up for their shortcomings, and the gameplay was adequate.

But then they changed the gameplay for The Baconing--they tried to improve it. And, for me at least, they failed. My tried-and-true technique of attack-block-attack-block that could dispatch any enemy and group of enemies has been ruined by their "shield mechanics improvements". Now it's attack-block-attack-automatic shieldbash-getslaughtered. So, as a fan of the first two games, I'm not happy with this latest iteration which messed with the functional gameplay and yet again recycled too much past content.

... cause it's also enjoyable for my crappy playing girlfriend, although we aren't very far yet, and haven't unlucked new characters.

I might pick up Guardian Heroes once that goes down in price and if I like the demo.
