Fall Into Dead Space Tonight On Encore
If you've been excitedly playing Dead Space since its release last month - or you just want to get to the bottom of those space scientologist rumors - then you might want to tune into the Encore Action channel tonight at 10 for the broadcast premiere of Dead Space: Downfall, an animated prequel to the sci fi horror game. If, like me, you don't have the Encore Action channel, don't worry; the movie's already available on DVD.

Dead Space: Does It Walk The Space Walk, Or Just Talk The Space Talk?
We've skewered you with the Dead Space trailer cut by James Han, peppered you with details about the Community Event at Electronic Arts Redwood Shores, and slow-basted you in details about the game's forward-thinking dynamic lighting mesh. But apart from the briefest of mentions, we've held off on serving up our impressions of Dead Space as a video game...until now. Under the jump, our impressions of the gameplay of Dead Space (including what EA doesn't want you to know), how the game measures up against the knowledge and aspirations of its wicked-smart design team, and why it can be so hard to make the case for video games as art.

How Dead Space Blinded Us With Science, Hit Us With Technology
The developers of upcoming sci-fi survival horror game Dead Space are more than happy to show you the schematics they've worked up for protagonist Isaac Clarke's ore cutter, or how a handheld graviton accelerator might work in the far future, but it was the practicalities of the game's dynamic lighting system that blinded us with science. Under the jump, concepts that boggled the minds of people (me, mainly) used to getting their science served up with generous portions of fiction, such as the mysteries of ambient occlusion and how many milliseconds of the GPU Dead Space can allocate to bringing the awesome.

Planet-Mining And Giant Parasites In "Dead Space"
Dead Space, a new game from Electronic Arts, brings parasitic "we want to kill you, kill you, kill you" aliens back into fashion just in time for next Halloween. In the far future, humans have depleted all of the natural resources on Earth, so private corporations begin sending out enormous ships called "Planetcrackers" that carve off enormous chunks of planets, and then mine them down to their bare essentials. Of course, as often happens in these games, this pisses off an "ancient and malevolent force" who decides to start unleashing hell. In space. More »
