Isaac Clarke, the hero of the Dead Space series, is set to return in Dead Space 3 early next year. The series is to feature a heavy emphasis on co-op play this time around, with Clarke being joined by John Carver as he takes on the necromorph threat once again.

EA and Visceral once again confirmed that the game will be released on February 8 on Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC (that's three days after release in North America).

Whilst we knew the date already, there are to be two pre-order editions available for early worms that have now been revealed. The two bundles, "First Contact" and "Witness the Truth" come with exclusive suits and weaponry to be used from the start. The official spiel reads as follows:

Dead Space 3

First Contact" Bundle

First Contact Suit: This unique EVA (Extra-Vehicular Activity) suit was built by the SCAF (Sovereign Colonies Armed Forces) for encounters with "foreign entities." It sports a flamboyant golden finish to provide protection from long-term space exposure and thick armor for... unspecified reasons. The suit was given the nickname "First Contact" by the scientists who made it.

Negotiator Weapon: While technically classified by the SCAF as a "scientific instrument," the gold-plated "Negotiator" is loaded with some surprisingly aggressive hardware. The overclocked, top-mounted Tesla Beam is capable of bursting a man-sized organism into several pieces with a single shot. The bottom-mounted Linegun appears to have been built with the sole purpose of cleanly dismembering organic tissue from a distance.

"Witness the Truth" Bundle

Witness Suit: These insulated suits were worn by a SCAF deep dig team assigned to exhume the darkest secrets of Tau Volantis. Whatever they found locked deep in the ice changed them forever. When they emerged weeks later, they were covered head to toe in strange graffiti and claimed to be "Witnesses to the Truth."

Evangelizer Weapon: A modification of the standard AL-2 used by the Sovereign Colonies Legionaries, this version sports a souped-up AL-2g assault rifle on the top with an Emerson 2100 "Big Boy" tactical shotgun on the bottom. The surviving "Witnesses" of the SCAF deep dig team dubbed it the Evangelizer and decorated them top to bottom with strange symbols.

REVIEW. Written by Rasmus Lund-Hansen

"Lacking the pacing to make for a successful horror, and with combat mechanics not built for straight action, the game doesn't impress in either."
