EA steps into the survival horror arena with Dead Space

Electronic Arts might be making their most violent attempt to turn around their sloppy image in what Game Informer introduces as "the most chilling sci-fi horror experience the world has ever seen." Obviously, they want people to get interested in EA's new survival horror franchise, Dead Space. This is, of course, the opposite of Alive Space, which gives children candy and helps astronauts reach those bolts that float out into the vastness of itself. So we can expect something fairly evil for the dead version of space.

Details are coming soon, but as for now, we've got nothing on it. Our issue of Game Informer will roll around eventually, but we'd like something to tell you now. Game Informer's website tells us that if we loved the movie Event Horizon, or horror films, we'll love this game. We'll judge that statement later, but we're glad to see a new horror franchise enter. That way, we can choose between more than Silent Hill, Fatal Frame, Resident Evil, and Condemned. Well, maybe we'll get another Siren game in the future, but probably not.
