Celebrating the release of their survival/horror title, Dead Space, Electronic Arts has provided us FIVE copies of the hardcover Dead Space graphic novel to give away!
Here is some information on the story:
"The prequel to the all-new blockbuster sci-fi survival horror game from Electronic Arts! On the distant mining colony of Aegis VII, something strange and alien lurks beneath the surface... a mysterious artifact that brings nothing but trouble to the isolated workforce.
As the arrival of the famous planetcracker ship Ishimura fast approaches, security officer Bram Neumann finds himself caught between religious fervor, miners slowly going insane, and the machinations of the mining corporation itself as he races to discover the secrets of the Marker... before it destroys them all! Collecting Dead Space issues #1 to 6."

... that Dead Space is an awesome game!
-
Just finishing the last level, and this is a game to own, not just rent. It's a bit of Gears Or War, Resident Evil 4, and the movie Event Horizon. Playing at medium, want to replay immediately on hard.
-
What's up with the MK vs. DC game?
-
need answer soon, plz repli!!!

Great AICN Games this week. Absolutely no use whatsoever.
by colinjbooth
What exactly is the use of this barely-regular slot? Might as well have AICN daytime TV.
-
is absolutely amazing. I'm on the 9th level right now and it just keeps getting better and better. This blows away the sad crap that is Silent Hill: Homecoming.
-
... you thrust yourself forward! Science is amazing!
-
just what was the point of this article
-
I wish I could buy, but I'm probably going to have to rent since money is tight
-
...that Little Big Planet will never be released.
-
Just watched the animated feature that serves as a prequel to the game. It was beatiful presented with rich colours and great sound. Fans of the game should check it out. It was by the far, the most graphic, violent and grissly 'toon I've ever seen!!!!
-
Fucking AWESOME!!! Better than any sci-fi horror FILM in the last 10 years.
-
Excellent. This game is fun... I think it's a great homage to various sci fi horror movies. Stomping mutated and mutilated corpses into bloody pulp is nice.
-
Game looks cool though! I'll grab it down the road, hopefully on discount.
-
in among an explosion of high profile sequels (Saints Row, Fable, Far Cry, Fallout, Gears Of War) and is so damned impressive. Saints, Fable, and Far Cry have all gotten good reviews, and with Gears around the corner, its a good time to be a gamer. My Xmas list has expanded expotentially.
-
thinking about getting it soon....does it have the creepiness of F.E.A.R. or even more so.
-
Dead Space in a landslide. A little less shoot em up than F.E.A.R., but way more atmosphere and much better graphics and environments.
-
The minor graphic adjustment the programmers made is that they positioned the third person view of the main character, slightly left of center, which gives the game a great cinematic feel.
-
I'll be snagging this over the weekend. I'm a fan of Event Horizon, and I'm looking forward to this.
