Suda 51: A Fan Of Dead Space 2 (And The Smiths…)

Kotaku AU

Suda Goichi is interesting chap, mainly because he somehow manages to draw inspiration from a variety of different media, before integrating it into some of the most interesting video game designs around. His current inspirations? The Smiths (almost predictably quirky) and Dead Space 2 (strangely mainstream)!

You Know What Dead Space Needs?

A little stupid, perhaps, but a game as repetitive and oppressively dark as Dead Space 2 could have done with a few lighter moments. Like this one.

Scare Yourself To Sleep With This Dead Space Night Light

Dead Space 2 Isaac Clarke Lamp, by DeviantArt’s TeamLando. Sculpted for a contest and a friend, says the Lando bros. “Nothing fancy, just super sculpey, acrylic paint and LED-shoelaces, with 70 hours worth of batteries in the back,” say the creators.

‘Severed’ Means Multiple Things In Dead Space 2

I thought that next week’s downloadable two-chapter expansion to Dead Space 2 was called Severed because it involved a certain Dead Space character who chopped off his own hand.

The Scariest Place To Play Dead Space 2

Kotaku AU

I like being scared. I don’t know why. I’ve been taking ages to finish Dead Space 2 because I want to play only in a dark room when I’m the only person in the house. It got me to wondering just how much the ‘where’ and ‘when’ changes our video game experience. At G4 they hired horror Director Drew Daywalt to create the scariest place to play video games, and they filmed the results.

Does Anyone Want To Dress Like Isaac Clarke?

Isaac Clarke, hero of the Dead Space series of horror/shooters from Electronic Arts, isn’t the first man you’d turn to for fashion advice. I mean, he spends his days in an engineer suit. Covered in blood.

Reader Review: Dead Space 2

Kotaku AU

I’m really enjoying Dead Space 2, but finding it really difficult to find time to play through it. Mainly because I only want to play it at night, and I don’t want to play when people are talking to me, or dragging me kicking and screaming out of the experience. Regardless, Nick Droste has sent in an awesome Reader Review of the game, which actually sums up exactly how I feel about it. Great job Nick.
