EA signs up to publish Ron Gilbert's DeathSpank and Klei's Shank

Monkey Island creator Ron Gilbert is behind the upcoming DeathSpank, an adventure game crammed full of loot, puzzle solving and action.

Indie developed Shank is a side-scrolling brawler with very eye catching visuals, which got it nominated for the Independent Games Festival.

Hothead Games’ DeathSpank will be releasing for Xbox 360 and PS3 this year, with a PC version seemingly dropped from the world. Shank from Klei Entertainment will hit Xbox 360, PS3 and PC this summer.

Shank will be at the Independent Games Festival next week, up for an award as they’ve been nominated for ”Excellence in Visual Art”. Check out both DeathSpank and Shank’s trailer below, because we’re just that nice to you.
