Dead Space release bumped up to October 14th

Dead Space, the space survivor horror game we've been gushing about these past few months, was originally scheduled to release to retailers on Halloween. What perfect marketing, right? Well, last month we learned that its release was mysteriously bumped up a week earlier to October 24th. Now, we've just been notified by EA that Dead Space's release has moved up on the release schedule yet again, this time to Tuesday, October 14th. What's the reason? EA doesn't have an official explanation other than the fact that the they say the game's development is ahead of schedule. But we have a hunch that they want to distance Dead Space from November's other huge 360 blockbusters. Makes sense, right?

As long as it works and is fun when I play it, they can release it as early as they like.

Maybe they are trying to die and be crushed by Fable and Fallout rather than Gears... Who knows.

That's good, more time between Dead Space and Gears. Too many awesome games coming out.

I am interested in this game but honestly the last year I've gone back and forth on it saying I'll get it for sure to I'll pass it by.

I am leaning more torwards a rental at this point. Is there a multiplayer to this at all?

It's kinda like saying only rent the force unleashed because it has no multiplayer right?

I'd consider getting the Force Unleashed before getting this game.
