Just because Dead Space 2 hit video store shelves last week, don’t think for a second that means the end of the cool extras EA Games has been pumping out in its honor. On tap for today we have the “Smoke and Mirrors” developer diary, which focuses on the User Interface and Visual Effects with behind-the-scenes footage and interviews from the team!

Game Synopsis:
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 on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.
