Built from the ground up and developed exclusively for the Nintendo WiiTM, Dead Space Extraction is a prequel that reveals the events leading up to Isaac Clarke’s mission on the USG Ishimura in Visceral Games’ award-winning Dead Space. Dead Space Extraction marries the innovative motion controls of the Wii Remote with a frenetic first person perspective to create a new action-packed horror experience.
Dead Space Extraction tells the story of a handful of space colonists desperately struggling to escape from a horrific infection on the Aegis VII mining colony deep in the furthest regions of space. The game introduces a new heroine, Lexine to the fiction and as the crew fall victim to a mysterious contagion aboard the ship, it becomes clear that protecting her may be their only hope for survival. Dead Space Extraction introduces all new characters, weapons, enemies, puzzles and co-operative multiplayer gameplay.

Watch out, Grand Theft Auto. A new game will be unveiled in the near future and IGN says the title is a “GTA competitor” for the DS. On the latest Nintendo Voice Chat podcast, IGN’s Matt Casamassina discussed the game and said that technology-wise, it rivals Chinatown Wars.
“So we’re calling it…It’s definitely a GTA competitor. Especially technology-wise, I think it actually is in many ways better than what Rockstar did with GTA on the DS…I don’t think there’s going to be anywhere near the depth that GTA has but I’m just talking about straight up, first glance at the technology, what’s going on. It’s pretty impressive…”
It’s a “neat open-world game,” you can go inside buildings, use cars, and explore the city streets – It has all of the features you would expect from a GTA title. IGN was supposed to announce the game last night, but that did not happen. So the game should be unveiled soon.
