14 DAY TRIAL // Dead Space is one of the most popular games at the moment, largely due to the fact that it brought a wide range of innovations to the survival horror genre of games and gave players a pretty frightening experience on the Ishimura space ship.
As we already mentioned in our review of the game, Electronic Arts' recent title shows that you can be creative even in these troubled times, where developers and publishers are reviving franchises or releasing retro game packages. As an incentive to keep players interested in Dead Space, the team at EA Redwood Shores, the studio behind this very good title, has just announced that it will be offering a very wide range of DLC (Downloadable Content) packages.
These packs will be released worldwide on the Xbox 360 Live Marketplace and on the European PlayStation Store this Thursday, November 13, with PSN users who aren't located in Europe getting their hands on it on November 20. This DLC will consist of various skins for the suit of the main character, or for his weapons, which are customized for various purposes. These packs will also include the console specific content with which the game was shipped for the customers who pre-ordered Dead Space.
