Dead Space by EA - Image 1Earlier today, we picked up a report from Destructoid saying that Electronic Arts' Dead Space (PS3, Xbox 360, PC) has been banned in three countries in Europe, namely Germany, Japan and China. However, the publisher would beg to differ.

According to Eurogamer.de, Electronic Arts has clarified to them that the report on the bannination in Germany is not true at all. Rather, it is still awaiting classification from the USK. That is by no means equivalent to being banned.

As for the two other countries, Japan and China, EA did not say anything about them so we could more or less hold that bit of the report true -- for now.

» Why Ban?

they banned it from China because some kid is probably gonna go around killing people or something stupid...they banned it from Japan because this game is probably gonna suck because its EA...and Germany is thinking maybe Japan is wrong and wait for an actual review



For the first time ever though Im proud to be an American because this game LOOKS great and I hope it actually is so that for the first time Japanese people actually want something they cant get but import and have to be subbed or else they wont understand it (hope this is pay back for Monster Hunter 2nd G which I had to patch)



Then again Japan could have a change of mind
