I played the trial for both of these and i love them both. But I want to know which one YOU think is better. I will probably get both of them but which one would you pick and why? Thanks!

I'd have to say Limbo on this one, simply because I love the art style and the death animations are great. I do plan on picking up DeathSpank as well, but I think I will wait until it goes on sale as part of a Deal of the Week somewhere down the line. Don't you just hate how the common price for arcade games has shot up to $15? It stands to reason that they would sell more games and hence make a lot more money if they kept the price at 800 MSP.

i played the trial for both these games and i thought both were great, but i also decided they werent really worth 1200msp will get them both eventually but waiting till they are on offer for 800msp

if they were just released at 800msp still then i would have bought them both already, they are costing themself sales by enforcing this new higher price

You'll want both eventually for sure. To choose one was too hard for me, so I just sucked it up and bought both.

Ditto,

i couldn't agree more. I really enjoyed the trial for Limbo and have been following it for awhile but i simply cant afford $20 in msp evertyime i want a new arcade game (even on that awesome!) that wont last more then a handful of hours, especially when you consider that you can purchase platinum hits titles for the same price.

I would love to be able to support the arcade/indy games more but when you barely have enough cash to eat its difficult justifying the expense.

I've only heard good things about Limbo and plan on downloading the trial, I'm not too familiar with DeathSpank but plan on looking into this game also. I just bought Gears of War for $5.00 at Gamestop with their big sale going on and have started playing it for the first time, and I certainly don't want to shell out $15 for an Arcade game that will get a fraction of the playtime.

Personally I think DeathSpank is better. The humor is top-notch including the voice for DeathSpank. If you like the dark yet mysterious artwork, go with Limbo. But both are great and worth picking up!

Not 100% sure of this, but I'm assuming you get more play time from Deathspank. Limbo looks nice, but it seems once you beat it....it's over. I'm looking forward to a LIMBO discount. I've gotten 5 hours out of DeathSpank and not even half way done. Also LIMBO looks like a one and done game to me.

How many of you played Limbo? How long is it? It LOOKS good...but who wants to pay 20 bucks for a 2 hour game?
