Hella dumb title. Kind of dumb game (You respawn at fucking outhouses FFS). Pretty damn fun, though. It's more or less a lite RPG/dungeon crawl sort of deal (sans any actual dungeons, so far).

Review from IGN:

It's fun, it's dumb, it's got some interesting style.

The game (and by extension, the demo) is a full gig. Which sucks.

I'm really gonna have to upgrade to the 250 gig hdd.

I have 38 GB free. Still, if games are gonna be this big....

Well, I have a few demos, but that's like 6 gigs max. This is all from Rock Band, XBLA titles, music (which I should really clean out) and DLC. Plus I still haven't even imported my Lego RB shit yet.

20GB or higher?

I only bought this up as precedent because it is an XBLA title. So when it's a gig, and it's a downloadable title, yeah. If more games end up this size, then fuuuuuuck I'm gonna need more space. This shit really does add up. I could remove the like 2 installs I have, but after that, almost all my stuff is DLC, arcade titles, etc.

Probably doesn't hurt that I have those massive Fallout 3 expansions....

Oh right, yeah. I have a bunch of installs for the games I play most. Street Fighter, Red Dead, etc.

I have a 120 gb drive now. Could really use that 250 one, but it'll have to wait.

Not breaking the law or being a pretentious fuck because you did :y:

I hardly doubt rigging up my own 360 250GB hard drive is breaking the law :o

I'll take the pretentious fuck part, though.

Pretty sure MS can detect those.

The process by which you hack it violates the law. Sorry, but some of us actually look instead of assuming.

And Funky, what you're talking about is ToU, and while they can ban you for violating ToU, it's not strictly illegal. I don't know (or frankly, care) if they can detect flashed HDDs, but that doesn't make it any less, you know, illegal.

I'm aware. I meant he should be careful when he goes online, not that I would or wouldn't do it myself (all my 360 stuff is legit, but I do have 34578932652785 emulators on my PC and a Cyclo DS).

Just checking. You'd be surprised how many people have really fucked up understandings of EULA and TOUs. or maybe not.

Deathspank 2 is coming out next month.

That didn't take long.

they were developed side by side. The second one is supposed to be 50% longer, but because they were developed in tandem, little customer feedback has been considered.

I was hoping for DLC, personally.

I'm not bothered or surprised, since Activision's been successfully doing the tandem development thing since Call of Duty 4. I just didn't think it would be done with the first game in the series. It's a lot of eggs in one basket.
