Discover the Terror in Dead Space with Dario
Argento, Italy’s Master of Thriller

Renowned Italian Director Plays the Role of
Doctor Kyne in Dead Space

Electronic Arts Inc., today announced that Dario
Argento will lend his voice as character Doctor Kyne in the Italian version of
Dead Space. EA’s new sci-fi survival horror videogame promises to deliver the
ultimate in psychological thrills and gruesome action. Dead Space is designed to
make sure that everyone from videogame experts to newcomers will truly enjoy a
terrifying game experience, as Dario Argento witnessed first hand.

Dario Argento and videogames would normally seem
like two very different and seemingly distant worlds in the eyes of many, but
when the master of thriller was given the chance to play a character in Dead
Space he didn’t think twice about it. The Italian director lent his decennial
experience and actively contributed in defining the character. He provided
precious and accurate suggestions about the overall tone and style of the voice
acting, and didn’t just read the script. Thanks to his advice and attention to
detail, the result is simply astounding, far beyond the usual
‘famous-voice-in-a-videogame’ cliché. The famous director had this to say about
the game, “Dead Space truly captures the essence of fear in an entertainment
medium. Not only is it the most terrifying game I’ve ever played, but it’s also
one that all fans of horror will appreciate.”

Set in the cold blackness of deep space, the
atmosphere in Dead Space is soaked with a feeling of tension, dread and sheer
terror. In Dead Space, players step into the role of mining engineer Isaac
Clarke, an ordinary man on a seemingly routine mission to fix the communications
systems aboard a deep space mining ship. It’s not long before Isaac awakes to a
living nightmare filled with vicious genetic mutations inside a dead,
claustrophobic silence. Now Isaac is cut off, trapped, and engaged in a
desperate fight for survival. . The PC version will ship on October 20, 2008.
