Look, we’ve all had some bad luck here and there. Well, not as much as Isaac Clarke has had… but we’ve had some.

 

Now, we’re looking to give one of you lucky people some better luck by giving away a FREE copy (yes, even in this economy) of DEAD SPACE 3! The best part about this contest? You don’t have to fight a necromorph, run to a save point with almost no ammo at all or use any credits to be eligible… because it’s free and easy to enter.

 

Check out the trailer for the game and the contest rules below.

 

 

Dead Space 3 brings Isaac Clarke and merciless soldier, John Carver, on a journey across space to discover the source of the Necromorph outbreak. Crash-landed on the frozen planet of Tau Volantis, the pair must comb the harsh environment for raw materials and scavenged parts. Isaac will then put his engineering skills to the ultimate test to create and customize weapons and survival tools. The ice planet holds the key to ending the Necromorph plague forever, but first the team must overcome avalanches, treacherous ice-climbs, and the violent wilderness. Facing deadlier evolved enemies and the brutal elements, the unlikely pair must work together to save mankind from the impending apocalypse.

 

So, here are the rules:

 

– Go to the Geekscape Facebook page: HERE

 

– Make sure you hit LIKE on the page (because that’s required to enter).

 

– Then find the DEAD SPACE image at the top of the page and SHARE IT with all of your friends.

 

– And one final step: COMMENT on the image with the scariest moment you’ve ever experienced in a video game (maybe one from the DEAD SPACE games, but you can use whatever game you want).

 

The deadline for the contest is Friday at Midnight PST. The contest is only open to residents of the United States. Hey, postage isn’t cheap!

 

Now get to it! You’re almost out of ammo and the other contestants are hot on your heels!

Dead Space is a fantastic series. I picked up the first title from a bargain bin not knowing much about it, but upon popping it into my PS3, I quickly learned that I was in for a huge treat.

The game is more action than survival horror (definitely not in the same style as the Silent Hill series). Even with the action heavy gameplay, it still manages to be creepy as hell.Dead Space has excellent visuals (even today) and great a soundtrack. The plot is also very strong, featuring a deep story revolving around religion and corruption.

Dead Space 2 also received much praise. I’ve had that one on my shelf since launch day, but have yet to open it up. I do plan to play the hell out of it, but that time simply hasn’t come. It also had a fantastic ad campaign with the extremely memorable “You Mom Hates Dead Space 2″ series of videos.

I hope to get to the second title soon, as the release of Dead Space 3 is fast approaching! The game is set to hit shelves in February 2013. Developer Visceral games teased us today with a long look at what to expect from the third game. Check it out below and let us know what you think!
