When Hothead Games announced thatMonkey Islanddesigner Ron Gilbert had joined their team as Creative Director, we were already sold on their new game,DeathSpank. Our ownChad Concelmo questionedwhether the game — described as “Monkey Islandmeets Diablo” — could be “the greatest thing in the history of things.”
Hothead were at Penny Arcade Expo last week, obviously pimping Penny Arcade Adventures, but also to tease the“coming soonerish”DeathSpank. As these new trailers indicate, the meshing ofMonkey IslandandDiablocould very well be the best thing ever. Humor and violence — does it ever get old, really?
Two more trailers after the jump, detailing armor (the Nippley Manglebrak!) and items (the Thong of Justice!).
