Default Shank and DeathSpank for PC on Steam

They were both released on Steam yesterday.
I was looking forward to play both and now I just can't decide which one to get first. Any opinions?

Shank looks more fun. Everyone'll tell you to get DeathSpank though cos they all bum Ron Gilbert

They are completely different games! Shank is quite short, but it's a basic action game done in a very nice style, DeathSpank is obviously longer and is more of a spoof style game.

I forgot I had pre-ordered DeathSpank on steam! Looks like I'll be downloading tonight.

I haven't had time because my computer is starting to act up, but I really wanted to spank my unicorns.

But today I hope I get the time, I have really been looking forward to playing DeathSpank.

I'm sorry, i once was very excited about Deathspank and would have bought it within a second but now i'm just not anymore. No OSX version, not even a Steam free PC download option. Kudos to Hothead Games for screwing it up.

Whoa boy, Shank is fun but has a very odd control scheme for the keyboard (0 mouse support). Good thing it's customizable.

Haven't tried Shank. Planning to get it as soon as I finish Deathspank and Fallout New Vegas.
