Dead Space, the space survivor horror game we've been gushing about these past few months, was originally scheduled to release to retailers on Halloween. What perfect marketing, right? Well, last month we learned that its release was mysteriously bumped up a week earlier to October 24th. Now, we've just been notified by EA that Dead Space's release has moved up on the release schedule yet again, this time to Tuesday, October 14th. What's the reason? EA doesn't have an official explanation other than the fact that the they say the game's development is ahead of schedule. But we have a hunch that they want to distance Dead Space from November's other huge 360 blockbusters. Makes sense, right?

Maybe they are trying to die and be crushed by Fable and Fallout rather than Gears... Who knows.

I am interested in this game but honestly the last year I've gone back and forth on it saying I'll get it for sure to I'll pass it by.
I am leaning more torwards a rental at this point. Is there a multiplayer to this at all?
It's kinda like saying only rent the force unleashed because it has no multiplayer right?
I'd consider getting the Force Unleashed before getting this game.

It's nice to see a release date pushing forward rather than back for once.
Rock Band 2, Fable 2, Fallout 3, Dead Space, Left 4 Dead, Call of Duty 5, Gears of War 2, Far Cry 2....
I'm so glad I get good money.
