Remember the tag line “In Space no can hear you scream”? It looks like this Halloween EA is going to bring a twist to this saying with a new horror survival game called Dead Space. EA will release the game in North America and Europe on the same day and is promising a spine tingling single player thriller. The game is being developed at Redwood Shores and will hit both the Xbox 360 and PS3.

EA has been full of surprises lately they announced that NFL Head Coach 09 is coming to the Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles. They also announced Colts Coach Tony Dungy will grace the cover for the next-gen version. The game is being developed at Tiburon studios and will give NFL fans a chance to make every call and see if they have what it takes to take their team to the Superbowl. The news is a little unexpected since the Xbox version was received with mixed reviews. Leave it up to EA to do the unexpected and if they tweak a few things this could be the ultimate strategy game for NFL fans. No set release date but the game is heading for the Xbox 360 and the PS3 so watch for more news on this one.
