DeathSpank Preview

Gaming Nexus has cranked out their own DeathSpank preview after checking out the Xbox 360 version of the game during last weeekend's Penny Arcade Expo.
Combat is done using the facebuttons as you assign weapons and spells to each of the facebuttons on the Xbox 360. This makes it easy to combine attacks. For instance you can draw a group of enemies in and then launch a lightning attack which freezes them and then do a 360 degree melee attack to finish them off. Deathspank features the typical assortment of fantasy weapons but there are also a few Ron Gilbert touches like the spell which launches attack chickens on nearby enemies. Sure it's a fowl attack (see what I did there) but it really adds to the game.
