Dead Space Shipping Early



This is rare...EA has announced that the sci-fi, horror, action/adventure game Dead Space will be shipping a week ahead of it's previous October 21st launch date and blast its way into retail on October 14, 2008.

Developed by EA Redwood Shores, Dead Space delivers, among other things, the phrase "strategic dismemberment" to the gaming masses...Here's a bit of background from the press release:

"When an immense mining ship, the USG Ishimura, comes into contact with a mysterious alien artifact in a remote star system, its communications with Earth are mysteriously cut off. Engineer Isaac Clarke is sent to repair the Ishimura’s communications array, but he arrives to find a living nightmare—the ship is a floating bloodbath, the crew unspeakably mutilated and infected by an ancient alien scourge. Clarke’s repair mission becomes one of survival as he fights not just to save himself, but to return the artifact to the planet … at any cost."

Turn out the lights and head to the game's official site to simultaneously learn more about it and scare the crap out of yourself:)
