Game I've Never Heard Of Getting Straight-to-DVD Prequel (http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/13072/Game+Ive+Never+Heard+Of+Getting+StraighttoDVD+Preq uel/)

In a rare Blu-ray-videogame tie-in, Anchor Bay has announced an October Blu-ray bow for the animated direct-to-video game prequel 'Dead Space: Downfall'.

A full-length animated movie, 'Dead Space: Downfall' will debut on Blu-ray October 28 (day-and-date with the standard DVD), a week after the PlayStation 3 game it supports, 'Dead Space,' hits stores from Electronic Arts.
...
Exclusive to the Blu-ray will be a pair of cheat codes for the EA game, and a Digital Copy (standard def) on a second disc.

Suggested list price for the Blu-ray has been set at $34.95.

This is either really smart or really dumb, and I'm leaning towards the latter. I might be all nostalgic, though, about Diablo II having that included DVD of its movies. I didn't even <em>own</em> a DVD player at the time, I just had the movie.

It wasn't that great. That is, conveniently enough, also my prediction for Dead Space."

You can't simply kill doods in Dead Space - you have to strategically dismember them! I think it's gonna be a cheap, visceral thrill, if little else.
