Analyst: Dead Space 2 “significantly outselling” original
If the hypsesplosion somehow didn’t tip you off to this, Dead Space 2 is pretty damn nifty. Apparently those of you with dollars in your pockets are expressing your opinion on the matter in the capitalist way, blowing the socks off the original game’s sales performance.

First Dead Space 2 iPhone trailer pops out, shouts “boo,” repeats
EA’s released a trailer of its iThing iteration of Dead Space, and we’d be lying if we said we weren’t impressed. Classic Dead Space dismemberment and visceral swipe-based melee attacks are at the top of the menu today, resulting in a tiny game that looks to pack a pretty big punch.
The trailer is, however, missing any real downtime, so it’s tough to judge how well Dead Space’s suffocating “outer space is trying to murder me” atmosphere holds up. See the full thing for yourself after the break.
