Dead Space gets prequel novel in July

Just finished & its a great read. Quick paced with a "reluctant" ending. Praise Altman, willling or not.

Definitely gotta get the book now... I love to hear more back story about why the marker is so important.

After all those comics and animations before the actual game released, I'm more than ready for more goodies from the Dead Space world.

hopefully it will have electrolytes because electrolytes are good

I feel terrible for the person that doesn't read a word of Mark Twain's or any other classic author yet knows the complete backstory to Dead Space, Halo, or Star Wars. These authors are put on the spot to create a story, are heavily influenced by the producers/developers of the game, and therefore can't even write naturally, and are relatively inexperienced. How can you expect it to be good? At least the book is based on a game with a great story...

Because nothing gets video game nerds more excited than a book.

I'll definitely buy it. I was fascinated by the Dead Space story, and always wanted more.

is so so so so so Coool the best game for ever I wish the D.S 2 i see Dead space 2 is is is very cool new hero new earth every thing new I love it but i think they keep the story from D.S1 or make new story...^-^

interesting.... might need to pick it up

You know what? Thanks to excellent games like Dead Space I get most of my fiction from video games now. When I read books, and I do, I enjoy reading non-fiction more so these days.

@Nihonjinjanai: I'd buy that! Along with the Mass Effect encyclopedia. :)

I'd rather see a better prequel movie but whatever if its good I'll buy it.

Everybody that reads this must tell me theif favorite dead space gun,Which gun looks gruesome, And Whats the best gun to have if your surrounded.

Not saying I am going to buy it, but it is good that they are working on making the universe more and more compelling, I just hope they start woking on the characters like the wii tittle.

Soon enough they'll just make a unitology bible.

@brittoss Thanks for the memory. I remember the magical nature of the force when I first watched the movies back in '77, '80, and '83. To hear that midi-chlorians / immaculate conception talk in the new series was such a punch in the stomach. You make a great point with a example that I had wished to suppress from my memory.

A book doesn't interest me, it will go too indepth with the whole church of unitology thing, and I got a decent brief insight to it in Dead Space. I'm highly looking forward to Dead Space 2 though :)

The thing I hate about tie-in books is that they become cannon for like 3 seconds, and then they decide to make a movie or something that contradicts everything you read and that becomes the new cannon.

A book? Yeah, that;s wat gamers want. Anyways, I don't care, I'm still pissed they dropped the PC version of DS2...

looking forward to DS2 only.

I like Dead Space but this could be a bad idea. Sometimes the best thing is to allude to certain events rather than having them fleshed out completely. Its really one of those moments where people should ignore fans rather than giving them what they want. Keep some mystery and degree of imagination required rather than spoon feeding them a complete history of any universe. We don't want another Star Wars midi-chlorians moment do we?

A book would be good but i think they should make a real CGI movie.

i'm looking 4ward for DS2

We already have prequels. They are that anime movie and Extraction on Wii. Enough with the prequels already and just hurry up with Dead Space 2!

put it into a game screw reading!!!!!! i want some more gaming goodness of Dead Space lol

Hmm, ill have to pick it up

best game ever.

Whats a book? Is it a new kind of gaming system?

want games only .gotta go.

I don't see the point of expanding the franchise with books, the games are good enough to get followers.

I wonder if with the upcoming motion-style controls for 360 and PS3, they will bring Extraction across platforms. I think they are getting a little carried away with the book though. The movie has about a 5% chance of actually being good, no matter who makes it, simply based on previous game-to-movie attempts. The only way the movie would be good is maybe if Clive Barker (Hellraiser) or Ridley Scott (Alien) made it. It's basically a cross between those movies anyway.

A great game in xbox 360, also the wii game. The game has a good ideas about sci-fic, horror and suspence I would like to see at least one more game because the game's history deserves it.

I wanna know how that those bosses came to be so big.

Watching the review again made me remember how much I really enjoyed this game, it's a must play if anybody hasn't yet

Loved Dead Space, wish they'd quit acting like there is an awesome backstory here. Church stuff was lame. All the good stuff was in the mystery surrounding the Artifact, and the fact it was just a COPY (but it's been while since I played so I may be wrong there), and the gameplay itself. Saw the movie, it was terrible. Let's just get to the sequel already!

Neat, I like the Dead Space game. Reading a Dead Space book is the next best thing, besides a movie that is! lol

I've never heard of that author or them books...

second! lol. looking forward to Dead Space 2...

first! sure hope they reveal some news on dead space 2 and hopefully a port of extraction onto 360/ps3
