EA Runs Contest to Dismember Fan Virtually in Dead Space 2
by Eric Bush
This has to be one of the coolest and most unique promotional contests I have ever seen: the crazy team over at Electronic Arts and Visceral Games are holding a contest where the grand prize is having the honor of being virtually dismembered in the upcoming survival horror video game Dead Space 2. To enter all you need to do is come up with a unique way that Isaac Clarke (good guy from the game) can rip apart a necromorph (bad guys from the game) and submit it via video, photo, or old-school text. One winner will be chosen to be placed into Dead Space 2 and nine-runner ups will get named in-game when it ships on the Xbox 360 later this year. The team even created a pretty awesome promotional video, which I have kindly embedded below for your viewing pleasure. The rest of the details, how to submit your entry, and all that gory stuff can be found at the highly-anticipated sequel's official Facebook page: http://www.deadspacegame.com/contest (click here)
There are still loads of Necromorphs that need killing. In Dead Space 2, not everything is exactly as it seems. Expect plot twists that will surprise you and a huge cast of twisted, disgusting monsters that are sure to scare the daylights out of you.
