Dead Space for the Wii? Approved

Dead Space was my "Game of the Year 2008" and was by far one of the most original horror games in years. It was ambitious in the fact that it tried so many new things in regards to it's mechanics and overall game design. Games like "Alone in the Dark" tried equally as hard to do something new but ultimately fell short. The game shined from a technical standpoint as well so you can imagine my surprise when EA announced "Dead Space" for the Wii. While I was orininally skeptical, I am now excited because it seems that I will have a chance to delve deeper into the Dead Space lore in a way that could tide me over until the inevitable, next gen sequel.

EA has officially announced "Dead Space: Extraction", a prequel to the original game that will be coming exclusively to the Wii this fall. Aside from new story elements and the inclusion of "Wii Motion Plus", there are few details worth mentioning. I anticipate picking this game up day and date with release. Until then, check out the trailer below:
