Your Mom’s Really Bad at Dead Space 2 Multiplayer trailer appears

Like all good gaming properties, Dead Space 2′s “Your Mom Hates Dead Space 2” campaign has a sequel – “Your Mom’s Really Bad at Dead Space 2 Multiplayer”.

It’s a bit of a misnomer, as after some of the usual ceiling-staring twin analogue controls almost always cause in beginners, the mothers quickly settle down to the action, with surprisingly enthusiastic results.

Watch the full thing below.

EA CEO John Riccitiello said yesterday that the sequel’s sell-through figures, sustained by continuing marketing, were double the original game’s – but that he doesn’t expect Dead Space 2 to break five million sales.

Thanks, EvilAvatar.

Honestly, EA – wasn’t one of these enough? Or, indeed, too many?

I can’t imagine what was going through the minds of their PR guys when they thought up this campaign, other than corporate espionage. :p

I mean, really, EA is supposed to have a policy for not targeting minors with advertising campaigns, they’d said as much before. And this… kind of flies in the face of that a tiny bit, doesn’t it?

They’re using black 360 controllers. It has the shape of a 360 controllers (chubby around the middle for the batteries) and the front buttons are coloured in the 360 fashion.
