I like hack and slashers I already ordered Bladestorm. I am a fan of the Dynasty Warrior games, the only problem I had was not enough enemies on screen. I like diving into a crowd of enemies and whipping some ass.
I'd go with Lair since we know it's from a good development team and the idea behind it sounds pretty interesting. I'm not sure who's making Heavenly Sword but I get the feeling that it'll become a repetitive hack and slash game (though we've only seen one level of the game thus far).

[quote name='Brian9824']Lair looks cool, i just wonder if those dragon's come with those radio stations i always listen to in GTA as i jack cars.
I like to listen to some nice tune's while I jack dragons.[/QUOTE]
I don't think you "jack" dragons in Lair. From all the game play videos I've seen, you jump on the other dragon, kill the guy and injure the dragon and then you jump back to yours.
You hop onto the dragon, throw the original rider off, and go flying for a bit on his dragon Granted it ends with you shoving a sword thru its head but you still jacked his ride. You just don't keep it very long.
Hmmm...well anyways, back to the OP's question. You're just going to have to get both. If you watch gameplay movies for them there is no way you can have one and not the other, they both look like badass games.
