What is Game? - Dead Space

So instead of getting into King's Bounty or starting Broken Steel in Fallout 3 or restarting Silent Storm or polishing off the last survival challenge in Plants vs. Zombies or continuing to struggle through the problems I've been having with Call of Duty: World at War multiplayer (Which I may expand on later), I decided to play through Dead Space for the third time.

It's really good.

Curses, You Know My Weakness: Stupid Crap

Sort of hot on the heels of my stupid Fallout 3 purchase comes the news that EA's upcoming third-person sci-fi horror shooter Dead Space will be dropping an "ULTRA LIMITED EDITION" that is both ridiculously priced and includes tons of useless crap that I find hard to resist.

Goddamn it, video game companies, you can't space this shit out? Dead Space is releasing October 14th, then Far Cry 2 (Which also has a stupid limited edition in a wooden box) hits October 21st, then Fallout 3 hits October 28th, then the first half of November will see the release of both Mirror's Edge and Left 4 Dead. Please stop making limited/collector's editions of things, I'm going to spending enough money as it is.

In Space, No One Can Hear You Frag

It's an extremely slow day here at work and judging from the game sites, the ones that aren't blocked, a slow news day as well. So what I'm saying is boredom is really the only reason I'd bring this up. Apparently the country that brought you melting humans in Parasite Eve, the country that brought you over-the-top violence in The Killer and Hard Boiled, and the country that brought you the runaway smash-hit of human atrocities in the Holocaust, have banded together to say no to EA's upcoming Dead Space. No, they said vehemently, no we do not want your fictionalized destruction of aliens on our turf, not at all, and I say good day, sir! This just goes to show that whenever Japan and Germany decide to team up on any issue it does not produce anything good, and the inclusion of China is equally as startling.

Anyway, I haven't been enjoying too many free games lately, there are a couple on my radar and if any of them stick out I'll be sure to throw up a Play This Now for this week.
