Electronics Arts annonce aujourd'hui que DeathSpank, le jeu Action / RPG déjanté et très satirique est maintenant disponible sur Steam, et donc sur PC. Une bonne nouvelle pour les anti-consoles qui pourront apprécier ce RPG sans prétention mais qui assure grave, bien qu'il soit en Anglais. A l'heure où j'écris cette information, je n'ai pas encore eu le loisir de le voir concrètement sur Steam, mais cela ne devrait plus tarder... Wait &see!
