Dead Space box art a hands-off affair
(via Joystiq) - Filed under: PC, Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, Action Boy, they're not kidding when they urge you to keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times, especially not when said vehicle happens to be the Ishimura, Dead Space's monster-infested milieu. Though some might view this trip down the carpal lane as a disturbing warning of what's to come (and bite your face off) in EA's outer space horror, we urge you to wrist assured and see this strategically severed hand beckoning you closer, luring you into a gripping and atmospheric adventure.

Why the Hell Does XBL Have Ads?
