Dead Space box art a hands-off affair

by Ludwig Kietzmann { Jul 2nd 2008 at 10:30PM }

Boy, they're not kidding when they urge you to keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times, especially not when said vehicle happens to be the Ishimura, Dead Space's monster-infested milieu. Though some might view this trip down the carpal lane as a disturbing warning of what's to come (and bite your face off) in EA's outer space horror, we urge you to wrist assured and see this strategically severed hand beckoning you closer, luring you into a gripping and atmospheric adventure.

Excuse me, could you lend me a hand?

Once again, the cultural cesspool of videogames are treating wrist-related violence as a source of amusement and/or entertainment.

Don't succumb to this demeaning imagery. Learn more about the horrors of wrist violence and become a part of WristStrong today.

But how will they keep the rubber bracelets from falling off?

I found this information to be quite handy

While I do agree that violence against wrists is a tragic thing, violence against faces is much more abhorrent and just as common in video game imagery!

One small mutilated hand for man. One giant mutilated hand for mankind.

Nice. That's got to be one of the more interesting and artful box covers I've seen in awhile.

Isak? @ Jul 3rd 2008 3:44AM

I am completely with you on that man. What a sweet cover.

drun @ Jul 2nd 2008 11:05PM

very cool, more like a comic cover

Evan @ Jul 2nd 2008 11:05PM

Too bad the game isn't as inspired as the cover art and animated comic made to promote it.

Jhongerkong @ Jul 2nd 2008 11:14PM

cyrax @ Jul 2nd 2008 11:18PM

Bryan @ Jul 3rd 2008 1:05AM

That was definitely not what I was expecting, in terms of subject matter.

It will draw away the kiddies, though. :D

lee @ Jul 3rd 2008 1:08AM
