More Dead Space in the pipeline

Monday, 27 July 2009 Henry Dowling

The original Dead Space game was a surprise hit in 2008, coming out of nowhere like some kind of mutant space freak thing. To capitalise on this success, EA will be bringing the fear to the silver screen with a Dead Space film, and have now confirmed that Daniel Caruso will be in the directors chair ...

Dead Space: Paving the way for System Shock 3?

Thursday, 30 April 2009 Willem Grobler

This article takes a look at Dead Space, one of 2008's most captivating titles, and draws parallels between it and titles such as Bioshock and System Shock 2, which serve as great companion pieces. Hindsight always offers a lot of perspective, and allows one to look at a game and truly admire its strengths and frown upon its weaknesses once the most of the hype has all but disappeared. Be aware though that this article is aimed at gamers who have completed Bioshock, System Shock 2 and of course Dead Space, and may contain (minor) spoilers. You have been warned ...

Dead Space Review

Monday, 16 March 2009 Aaron James

Those readers that follow the industry closely will know that a few years ago, EA Games were portrayed in the public eye as being the equivalent to the wicked witch of the west, if you could imagine the gaming industry being the equivalent of the wonderful land of Oz. Ok, well maybe I’m being a bit harsh but they did bare such a stigma due to their stance on incessant annualized sequels and shameless franchise cash-ins. As a result, they where mildly disliked (at the very best) amongst the hardcore of gamers. I’m glad to say that the EA of old is making an effort to turn itself around. Recently, they’ve been trying to prove that they’ve changed for the better and that this time, they have the gamer’s best interest at heart. You know what? It shows... it shows quite clearly with Dead Space. ...

Dead Space DLC is a coming

Monday, 10 November 2008 Steven De Klerk

If you're feeling a bit overwhelmed by the creatures in Dead Space, then you may need the "Necromorph-dismembering equipment" provided in the premium upgrade packs. A selection of new weapons and skins will be available through Xbox Live Marketplace for Isaac Clarke starting November 13th. It seems a bit gimmicky to me, but then again, there might be some real benefit to using some of these spruced up weapons. ...
