Though we still don't know much regarding Dead Space 2, it appears we'll know more relatively soon, as Reuters has pegged the horror sequel for a 2010 release.

While technically unannounced, the sequel has been mentioned by both job listings and staff members of series publisher Electronic Arts. Developed by Visceral Games (formerly EA Redwood Shores) the horror-action franchise premiered on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in October. A Wii prequel, Extraction, arrived earlier this year.

As many have already said, the first one was amazing. Everything from the visuals to the sound was top notch. I played it on my PC and I honestly didn't feel that it suffered from consolitis at all; the controls made perfect sense and fit the genre. Yeah, the mouse was a bit more sluggish than it should have been, but that was mostly due to a problem with vsync being enabled. I think the controls got such a negative response from the PC community because there really aren't any games like it for the PC. Maybe everyone was expecting your typical third person shooter, ultra responsive, action oriented controls. That's not what Dead Space was trying to be.

Really hope the sequel gets released on the PC or I won't be able to play it :-(

Dead Space 1 was one of my favorite games. Great atmosphere. I played it on PC with a Microsoft XBOX controller. Looking forward to this one.

I never played Dead Space, but my brother and I just finished Dead Space: Extraction for the Wii and loved it. I will never look at rail shooters the same way again. It's made me want to play the original now.

The first was a great game. I hope the second gets the same multi-medium story thing as the first, what with the animated graphic novels and the animated film and all. They weren't exactly good, but they fleshed out the story in interesting ways.

I'm expecting Isaac will dock on a Unitarian mausoleum ship in DS2, and bring a necromorph with him. Ship full of corpses!
