Riccitiello tells Fox Business that Dead Space is his favorite game
Fox Business had a chat with EA’s John Riccitiello this past week, during which he discussed all things EA.
One thing mentioned was the fact that The Beatles: Rock Band has sold 600,000 units so far and that it’s currently the number one App for iPhone on the App Store.
He also told the news outlet that while sales are not where he wished at the moment, the holiday season is just around the corner, and while EA has not seen a jump in sales for the Christmas season yet, he is confident a steady rise in sales will hit once Black Friday comes and goes.
There are loads of stuff in there, some chat about the online market in China, Bioware, and Riccitiello admitting that Dead Space was his favorite game to play this past year.
Good to know there, John. The video is embedded passed the break and also through the link.

Edit: Well… not right now, because I’m at work. But when I’m not at work I’m definit… you get my point.

Dead Space is indeed amazing… just not on the PC.

Dead Space looked great in previews and, for me, the final game really delivered. I hope they don’t bury it by diluting the franchise too much.

I’d say Dead Space is one of my favourite games of the past year too, maybe one of my favourite of this generation tbh. Just completed it again the other day on Impossible mode!

I think Dead Space is one of the few games this generation that has actually concentrated on making it enjoyable to play rather than a giant spectacle of effects and story. It has a lot of background story, but even if you ignore all of that, you still get 100% of the experience whilst playing the game. I mean, who gives a shit why these aliens are after you, lets just stomp their arms off.

Dead Space is fine on PC – As long as you use a pad.
