Dead Space 2 Hardcore mode unlockable captured, amazing

ds2logo

Someone’s grabbed video of a weapon you get as a special unlock if you’re daft enough to brave Dead Space 2′s Hardcore mode. You only get access to the new level of difficulty after beating the game, and you’re then challenged to best single-player on ultra-hard with only three saves in total.

20110125deadspace2

Dead Space 2 looks great and all, but let’s face it: It’s not always easy to trust reviews that barge onto the Internet shouting “first!” like they took etiquette lessons from, well, the Internet.
