What with all the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, this one almost got by us.  The Playstation Network is having a "Stock Up for Winter" sale, extending through Monday, November 29.  The titles included in the sale are going for 50% off regular price.  Only two co-op games are on the list.  For the PS3, Deathspank is available for $7.49.  For those who prefer their co-op in the handheld fashion, Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker for the PSP is a mere $19.99.  Check out the non-co-op deals at the link below.

DeathSpank and Shank are coming to the PC.  "DeathSpank and Shank" also sounds like a fantastic rock opera, or maybe the name of the most kick-ass beauty pageant of all time.  These two downloadable games have already made an appearance on XBL and PSN.  They both offer fun but flawed co-op.

DeathSpank. Hero to the Downtrodden. Vanquisher of Evil. Includer of Co-op. Is the hack and slash title by Ron Gilbert complete with peril, orphans, loot, thongs, quirky characters, and lots of poop. Is the co-op part of the fertile yet evil demon poop, or does it shine like magical unicorn manure?

Laverne and Shirley.  Starsky and Hutch.  Mel Gibson and Danny Glover.  These people all of something in common - they are co-op buddies till the end.  And now Deathspank and Sparkles joins the long list of duos as the co-op pair is playable in the upcoming XBLA and PSN game called Deathspank.  Looks like Sparkles got the shaft on the title for that one.

Last year, Deathspank showed us a brilliant preview at PAX, complete with quirky characters, odd quests, and a lot of beautiful gameplay. Now that we're approaching release date, Deathspank has revealed its final ace: Co-op confirmed for both the PSN and XBLA release.
