"When Wii-exclusive Extraction first hit Nintendo's system back in 2009, much of Dead Space's mythology was still shrouded in mystery. Despite a straight-to-video prequel (showing Ishimura before the events of the original game), a comic mini-series (detailing the fall of Aegis VII), and Isaac Clarke's traumatizing journey through hell on board the ship itself, the narrative motivations of Unitology (and moreover why the church wanted the Marker in the first place) weren't revealed yet. Now it's 2011, Dead Space 2 has just come out and some details have been revealed—though not as many as you might think. Nevertheless, since Visceral has seen fit to re-release Extraction with Dead Space 2 and on PSN—complete with a slick new HD overhaul and Move compatibility—it's worth revisiting this early chapter in the series mythos, both from a technical standpoint as well as from a narrative one."

So it’s my duty to introduce you to the best Dead Space games, and one very, very bad one. It’s time to grab a plasma cutter, cut off the limbs of terrifying necromorphs, and decide once and for all (on this website) which of the Dead Space games reigns supreme!"
I played all three. Didn't find them fun, just had nothing to play. I don't think I beat third game though. Combat was super clunky, graphics and art design were ugly imo, story in first game wasn't too bad, rest were meh.
Over hyped series imo, also it doesn't help horror games don't scare me, so I guess that's a big reason for me too.
Just finished playing the first, enjoyed the fact Isaac was a silent alien crushing psycho doom-guy type. Just started the second yesterday and I'm annoyed he's a talker now and sounds like a regular guy who hasn't been through hell, but I suppose he couldn't remain silent.
Dead Space 2 is my favorite followed by 1 then 3. All are good to me though. Just beat all 3 on series X and they hold up.
This week the Link Cable Gaming crew gets all dressed up in their finest Halloween garb to discuss their favorite horror and even just spooky games in a special Halloween episode!
The decision to close the studio and shift the focus of the Star Wars game is not a statement about the future for single-player games, EA says.
"'This was just a single-player game [and it] needed to be a live service.'"
What kind of a stupid mindset is that? It didn't need to be a damn live service. Single player games can work and you have the damn Star Wars name attached to it so it will sell well regardless of it having MP or not.
How can you say this.
"We are seeing an evolution in the marketplace, and it became clear to us that to deliver an experience that players wanted to come back and enjoy for a long time, that we needed to pivot the design."
And then say this in the very next paragraph.
"It wasn't about, 'This was just a single-player game [and it] needed to be a live service."
I would say "do they really think people are this stupid?" But since people keep buying EA games after all the crap they have done over the years and decades that made gaming worse... I guess, yes, yes they are.
i would have to try this game out. im just to busy with dead space 2 right now to even jump to extraction lol
Just tried the demo with the Move controller and I really liked it. The voice acting is laughably bad but it's a lot of fun and still has that Dead space atmosphere.
I just completed the demo 1 min ago as of this writing and I must say I dont like it. I dont control the movement of the player while the combat isnt satisfying. I thought this game was more like House of The Dead?
