Rumor: Dead Space banned in Japan

At this point, we really don't know what the truth is behind the alleged banning of EA's sci-fi horror title, Dead Space, in Germany, Japan and China. The prohibitions were originally reported on last week, after which GamePolitics called shenanigans. The latest crumb to the tale comes from Ars Technica and what is believed to be the developer's Twitter, which currently states the game is banned in Japan.

EA still hasn't made an official statement on the matter, though Ars reports we "should expect" an official announcement soon.
