The "Limited" PlayStation 3 Edition of Dead Space 2 comes with a pretty spiffy bundle - Wii title Dead Space: Extraction, ported over in a Move-friendly fashion. But the port process is fraught with peril. What changes has the Big Black Box wrought? Are hardcore fans perhaps obligated to pick up this new version for extra content and plot details?
"It just looks way better," said producer Zach Mumbach.

]]>In space, no one can hear you scream. At least, that's what we thought until we played Dead Space, which had us screeching in pitches so high that our beards threatened to leave us for better men.
Fortunately for our poor hearts, two Dead Space-themed games - Dead Space: Extraction and Planet Cracker - will hopefully offer a change of Dead Space pace when they arrive on XBLA and PSN.
]]>Vooks has posted up the first 15 minutes of Dead Space Extraction. You can get it after the break, courtesy of Kotaku.
For the Wii core, this is a no-brainer. It really does look great. Obviously, this is a massive spoiler, so only go ahead if you need convincing. It's out next week.
]]>Dead Space Extraction has more than 500 percent more dialogue in it than the original game, senior designer John Calhoun confirmed in the video you can see after the break.
"One of the things that fans may not know about this game is that we actually have over five times more dialogue than the original Dead Space," said the developer.
"This is a story-driven game, and the reason why it succeeds as a story-driven game is because of the calibre of the actors. This triple-A cast really delivers."
Please, please watch the movie below. The Wii shooter releases on October 2, and in terms of presentation and voice acting at least, it looks most definitely "not s**t".
]]>There's a video posted after the break for Dead Space Extraction showing how to use Will controls and the optional Wii Zapper.

The game is expected to land in September.
Thanks, D'toid.
]]>EA's just put out five new Dead Space: Extraction shots to celebrate the game being shown at E3 and it's looking as dark and as dreary as you'd expect.

September release for this one.
]]>In every shadow, terror hides.
That's what the E3 trailer for Dead Space: Extraction shows you after the break.
Looks as intense as the first one. No one likes a mutant alien/human hybrid bent on turning you to jelly hiding in the dark. Just waiting for you.
Blame D'Toid should you get nervous watching.
Wii users will get their hands on it in September.

]]>EA gave out some new shots and art from Dead Space: Extraction at its spring showcase in London last week.

It's nice, though. Look and see.
