Strap in, kids, you’re about to engage in a terrifying high speed freefall thanks to a new video from EA and Visceral Games’ upcoming Dead Space 2 that includes an intense and dangerous HALO (High Altitude-Low Opening) jump.

Along with “The Jump” video, we have four new screenshots that came out of GamesCon in Cologne, Germany; and for those of you who might have forgotten to sign up for the exclusive gameplay video of Isaac battling a Tripod that was released today via email only, we’ve got you covered there as well.

Dead Space 2 pushes the limits of action, horror, and terror. After waking up in a sprawling, dark, and mysterious location, Dead Space 2 hero Isaac Clarke again finds himself thrust into the middle of a massive Necromorph invasion. Surrounded by the screeching cries of undead monsters and the haunting drum of echoing noises, Isaac plots a course through abandoned building after creepy abandoned building. New tools to gruesomely slice and dismember the Necromorphs complement Isaac’s signature Plasma Cutter, empowering him as he meets new characters, explores epic Zero-G environments, and fights against a relentless Necromorph onslaught. Survival isn’t the only thing on Isaac’s mind in Dead Space 2 – this time, he calls the shots.

Look for Dead Space 2 to deliver best-in-class sound design, visuals, and action sequences upon its release January 25, 2011, on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.
