EA launched the original Dead Space game on multiple platforms last year including the PS3, Xbox, and PC. The game had an interesting storyline, but when I played it on PC, the controls were horrible and made the game very difficult to enjoy.

Ea has announced a new title in the Dead Space franchise called Dead Space Extraction that will be a Nintendo Wii exclusive title. The game is a prequel to the original and goes through the events that took place prior to Isaac Clarke's mission.

The game is set for release in the fall of 2009 and doesn’t have an ESRB rating at this time. You can bet the game will carry a "M" rating if it follows in the originals footsteps at all and judging from a few of the screen I have seen, it does.
