I'm absolutely NOT one of the whiny crowd crapping on Visceral's decision to add OPTIONAL co-op play to this sequel. I'm a fan of all the Dead Space games (yes, even Dead Space Extraction on the Wii and PS3, which did an excellent job at making an on-rails game really compelling, thrilling and scary). Hell, it will make me a lot less freaked out If I know I can have someone else to hind under the damn couch with when things get a wee bit too frightening. Anyway, this one's on track to be a big smash, provided the dev team can overcome the hurdle of dealing with that pissy part of the fan base that just doesn't like anything changing in their favorite games. Granted, if multiplayer is shoved in and makes for a bad time for all, then yes, you can indeed bash both SA and Visceral all you want - I'll be one of the first to wave the flag if they blow it.

E3 2012: Dead Space 3 Trailer: Frozen Properly, Keeping It Fresh Works...
It's hard as hell to keep a franchise going after a second installment because there's a damn good chance you've used up ALL your best ideas in coming up with the sequel. That said, the team at Visceral Games seems to have done a decent job in mapping out a timeline for their sci-fi horror franchise, and here you go. Co-op play (drop in/drop out) is the deal this time out, as is a frozen planet (which means outdoor environments!) and more Necromorphs than you can shake a stick at. Not that shaking a stick will do any good, mind you... 2013 is going to be a killer year for gaming, so you better hope those Mayans were way off in their "prediction". Me, I don't believe in that stuff, so I'll be waiting patiently for the release date so I can jump in and enjoy the ride being cooked up by Visceral and EA.

Moms vs. Dead Space 2 Multiplayer... Guess Who Wins?
Ah, EA... starting trouble again. Funny as hell video, though. Just keep Fox News away from this footage or else they'll all keel over at the "shocking"-ness of ot all (and FAIL yet again at their attempts to demonize gaming).

Dead Space 2 "Questions With Steve" Episode 5 (+ BONUS!)
Once again, Steve Papoutsis sits for a spell to speak about the horrors unleashed onto gamers in Dead Space 2 while also dropping news about some cool DLC. Nice and double nice...
Speaking of Double Nice - "Questions With Steve 3" has been FOUND and is below the jump.

Dead Space 2 Developer Diaries
Here's a look at two dev diaries from Visceral's sci-fi/horror hit featuring nearly everything you wanted to know about DS2 that shouldn't scare you off from playing this spectacularly scary game. Of course, playing it and not dropping dead from fright or simply straining your neck from continuously looking behind you to check for Necromorphs popping up from behind the couch? Well, that's all on you...

Dead Space 2 "Questions With Steve" Episodes 1 - 4 (Minus 1 = 3)
Here's look at three of the four episodes featuring Dead Space 2's Executive Producer, Steve Papoutsis answering a bunch of Q's from the fans on the game's Facebook page. The other two videos are below the jump (of course) - somehow, Episode 3 has vanished, but I'm on the case (unless someone at EA mis-numbered these videos!)...

Dead Space 2/Dragon Age 2 "Sir Issac" Armor Bonus Trailer
Awesome way of getting interest in two entirely different EA titles, as BioWare and Visceral have teamed up to add this very cool Dead Space 2-themed armor unlock for Dragon Age 2. I'd already planned to snap up both, but this extra incentive should add a little more zing to Dragon Age's list of improvements. Now, if a few Necromorphs pop up in that game, that might be a little much, but it won't keep me from what looks like another 100-plus hours in yet another stellar BioWare RPG.

Dead Space 2 Multiplayer Trailer Update
Yummy, chunky goodness from Dead Space 2's multiplayer, plus an earlier MP trailer below the jump just so you're even MORE tantalized. EA is on a roll here, and it's ONLY January...

Trailer: Dead Space 2
Absolutely amazing footage here (and the game plays even better, folks) of Visceral's follow-up to perhaps the scariest sci-fi horror action game to date. It's not coming out until early next year, but DS2 is already at the top of my most wanted list.
