Voice actor Michael Dobson was born to be the voice of DeathSpank. Michael does that “full of himself douchebag” attitude perfectly, says DeathSpank creator Ron Gilbert, and easily nailed his audition session for the character. Gilbert told me duringmy preview time earlierthis week that Michael “was the first guy to walk in. I just heard him and went cancel everyone else!” Michael not only nailed the voice, but he really got into the character of DeathSpank....

While the idea of a T-shirt cannon that fires shaved ice is amazing, it’s sadly unavailable in the looter shooter. Instead, we’ll have to make do with the Bitter/Sweet heavy grenade launcher.

In all of the talk over the issues Nintendo has faced over the last two quarters in pushing product for their current devices, very little was said about their upcoming Wii U. A small note was made regarding the console at the tail end ofIwata’s presentationto investors, stating that the company would be demonstrating the “final format” of Wii U at next year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo. Presumably to allay any investor concerns over how the 3DS launch was handled, Iwata made no bones about it....

Just pump this game into my veins For a good while there,Cupheadexisted in my mind solely as a run-and-gun boss-rush game, and I would have been content with that approach given how gosh-darn gorgeous its art and animation are, but there are also platforming levels to break up the fights.
