In the sequel to the 2008 hit Dead Space, the aptly named Dead Space 2 will continue the story of poor Isaac Clarke, as he continues to be the tastiest looking morsel on the Necromorph buffet. But a new multiplayer mode will ensure that you and your friends can go survival horroring together, thanks to the new online multiplayer.

EA has released a trailer showing off the multiplayer aspect of the game. The online game types will allow you to play against your best friends… and then murder them horribly as either a bloodthirsty necromorph, or an Isaac-ish engineer. Most of the mission types are still under wraps, but from what we have seen, the games will generally be cooperative based, in the sense that your team must work together to either survive and defeat the necromorphs, or team up on the puny humans.

Dead Space 2 will be released on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC on January 25, 2011.

Death Stranding 2: release date speculation, trailers, gameplay, and more

Sam Bridges walks on a ridge in front of the moon.

There were plenty of hints along the way, and even some leaks by the leading man himself, but it was only made official at the Game Awards 2022 that Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is on its way. Coming from the same influential and creative mind as the original, as well as the Metal Gear franchise before it, Hideo Kojima introduced the game himself. Of course, nothing about Kojima's games are straight forward, and what was revealed about Death Stranding 2 probably raised more questions than it answered. We're strapping on our boots, connecting to our BBs, and are ready to make the trek to find out everything there is about Death Stranding 2.
Release date speculation

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach only has the wide release window of 2025.

Silent Hill 2 remake: release date, trailers, gameplay, and more

Pyramid Head walking in the rain.

Rumors about the Silent Hill 2 remake have faded into the fog, and it has become a reality. The classic title is considered by most to be one of the best horror games of all time, and now it is getting a complete remake. Unlike the disappointment that was the HD Collection, the game will be fully recreated from the ground up for modern hardware. Still, with such a beloved game and Konami's troubling track record in recent years, fans may have more concern than excitement about this announcement.

Aside from a new graphical overhaul, remakes can mean many different things. For Silent Hill 2, the question of exactly what will be -- and more importantly, won't be -- changed is on the minds of the dedicated fan base that holds the original in such high esteem. While Konami didn't fully clear the fog on what Silent Hill 2 will be this time around, we turned on our radios, checked every locked door, and managed to come out alive with everything you need to know about the Silent Hill 2 remake.
