Dead Space (2008)

Dead Space Extraction Guiding Its Way To PS3, Xbox 360?Visceral Games' sci-fi horror experience Dead Space Extraction appears (again) to be making the leap from critically successful, commercially disappointing Wii game to high-definition do-over, thanks to EA Montreal.


Dead Space Extraction was outed as a PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade candidate earlier this year, when we reported on publisher EA's interest in bringing the game to a more welcoming audience. The "full HD" game was listed as a possible incentive for Dead Space 2 purchasers that could carry a $15 USD price tag.


Now it appears a lot more likely, as an Electronic Arts rendering engineer lists the following game experience, via NeoGAF, currently in the works at EA Montreal.


Dead Space Extraction XBLA/PSN port (Feb 2010 – Now):
- Currently porting the popular Wii title based on EuroCom's EngineX to XBLA and PSN.


Dead Space Extraction for PSN and XBLA feels like the right move, a way for fans of the original to experience the Wii-only title on the platforms they prefer. As a pre-order or original purchase incentive, it—and that other rumored Dead Space game, Planet Cracker—would fit in nicely with EA's Project Ten Dollar scheme. And as potential PlayStation Move or Project Natal games, Extraction might just be crazy enough to work.


Plus, the more Dead Space the better, we say.

Dead Skate: Code Unlocks Isaac and BoardSeen this screen on Skate 3's Facebook page? You might be wondering how to get Dead Space's Isaac Clark into the game. No, he's not DLC, there's a code for that, actually.


Go to the Cheats section of the Extras menu in Skate 3 and plug in "deadspacetoo" and he's yours. You also get a futuro-skateboard, but it's not transferable to other skaters, it's Ike's and Ike's alone.

Dead Space's Isaac Appears To Suffer From Post-Traumatic Stress SyndromeEA today released some new pieces of art for upcoming space thriller Dead Space 2. They're not screens, I know, but I love Dead Space's art style, so these are pretty to look at regardless.


One shows that Isaac, understandably, isn't in the best state of mental health at the moment. Another shows that his fancy suit has now gone digital. A third shows Isaac's shuttle from the first game being "rescued", while a fourth shows a memorial for the victims of the Ishimura disaster.


Dead Space 2 will be out later this year on PS3 and Xbox 360.

Ten New Titles Join PlayStation 3 Greatest Hits Library Confirming last night's Walmart ad, Sony has announced ten new titles joining the PlayStation 3's budget-priced Greatest Hits line, with inFAMOUS, God of War Collection, Killzone 2 and Resident Evil 5 and more now available for $29.99.


While the Walmart ad we linked to last night contained several new Greatest Hits entries, including Resistance 2, Killzone 2, UFC 2009 Undisputed, inFAMOUS, and the LittleBigPlanet Game of the Year Edition, it only covered half of the games Sony adds to the Greatest Hits library today.


Those five titles are joined by the God of War Collection, Dead Space, Fight Night Round 4, Resident Evil 5, and Soulcalibur IV, for a grand total of ten new titles at silly prices.


These latest additions bring the Greatest Hits grand total to nearly 40 titles. If that's not a strong argument for hopping on the PS3 bandwagon, I don't know what is.
