EA announced two new (old) ventures this morning -- DeathSpank for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network and a second Sims 3 expansion for PC and mobile devices. Which one will you be buying first?

DeathSpank is a joint venture between EA and developer Hothead Games to bring the long in-development game to consoles. Previously, designer Ron Gilbert said the "Monkey Island meets Diablo" title would be episodic; however he changed his statement around this time last year.

The Sims 3 Ambitions expansion, meanwhile, introduces playable jobs to the Sims 3. Those familiar with the series will be excited to hear that for the first time, you actually get to go to work with your Sim and continue your manipulations of them in new job paths like Firefighter and Inventor. The title is due out for PC in June and a separate version will hit iPhone/iPod Touch and other mobile phones in late 2010.
