Xbox Gaming in South Africa

EA aren't wasting any time when it comes to downloadable content for Dead Space 2, revealing a new single-player DLC add-on, entitled Severed, which introduces Xbox owners to the characters from the wii exclusive Dead Space: Extraction in two new chapters.

In Dead Space 2: Severed, the story of Weller and Lexine runs parallel to Isaac's blood-curdling adventure in Dead Space 2, but this time players will take on the role of Gabe Weller. Working as a Sprawl Security Guard, Weller has to fight against his own onslaught of Necromorphs, as he attempts to get both him and Lexine to safety.

No word on pricing or release dates yet, only that the Severed DLC is "coming soon."

Dead Space 2 will be out this Friday, 28 January, in South Africa, and according to first impressions, it looks like it's living up to the hype.
