XBLA is all about death this week. First up we have gruesome, deadly martial arts with Deadliest Warrior: The Game and then we have just, heroic, loot-driven murder with DeathSpank. Honestly, both causes of death have their appeal. Watch the latest XBLA in Brief and see just how fun death can be.

I bought DeathSpank and played for an hour or so, it's pretty awesome. Simple but fun gameplay, and I actually laughed out loud at some of the dialogue.
@edgore And pray tell what part of Diablo wasn't good? And are you referring to just Diablo 1 or the whole franchise, because if it's the latter, Diablo 2 was far more than just 2 players.
I hope Deadliest Warrior is good, I love the Bushido Blade concept. Either way I want to personally thank the dev for putting up some of the coolest avatar items to date.
For uncounted years the wanderer DeathSpank has been a Dispenser of Justice, a Vanquisher of Evil, and a Hero to the Downtrodden. Throughout his adventures DeathSpank has searched for a powerful artifact called ... The Artifact. Forged by unknown hands for unknown purposes some unknown time in the past, The Artifact is now within DeathSpank's reach, but what is The Artifact and what evil tyrant seeks to steal it?
