Grab ‘Dead Space 2’ on Xbox One for Free This Month

Published

on

A couple of months back, we got the superb Dead Space for free on PC. And now, for those Xbox One players with an Xbox Live Gold account, you can grab the awesome sequel, Dead Space 2, for free!

As part of Xbox’s Games With Gold service, from today until April 30th, Xbox One owners can grab Dead Space 2 and Assassin’s Creed Syndicate and The Witness for free. Unfortunately, the promotion doesn’t include the DLC (apart from the already-free Outbreak Maps), but you can grab those for $4.99 USD each.

As well know, this unfortunately is all obviously a very small consolation to the fact that the series’ developer, Visceral Games, is no more, and EA seems to have no real plans to revisit the series and redeem themselves over the lukewarm reception to Dead Space 3. And given EA’s past practices with beloved franchises, those developed by EA and those developers that established the franchises before EA took over, we might be left in the cold for a long while.

But at least we have one of the best launch trailers (in terms of the music choice) ever. And one of the most wince-inducing moments in videogame history.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
