Giving away games is the cool thing these days, and alongside companies like Microsoft, Sony, and Ubisoft, Electronic Arts has gotten into the spirit with its On the House program. The latest giveaway is a good one. Now available: Dead Space. EA’s 2008 sci-fi space horror game is now available. Sign into EA’s Origin service, and you can grab the game for yourself.

Not only is Dead Space now backwards compatible on the Xbox One, it's also free in two ways: to subscribers of the EA Access program and through Games with Gold. First, if you subscribe to Xbox LIVE Gold, you can get the game for free until April 15. That's one way. Dead Space has also joined The Vault, a collection of aging games that a playable for free as part of the $4.99 per...
Microsoft continues the steady stream of Xbox 360 games available through backwards compatibility on the Xbox One, and the latest is a real treat: EA’s sci-fi horror hit Dead Space. As time goes on, I get the feeling that this franchise is becoming a little underrated. After Dark Souls and Mass Effect, I have no problem slipping this into the ranks of my favorite new franchises from...
The Xbox Games with Gold and PlayStation Plus’ game library are both great reasons to subscribe to each console’s respective services. Over the course of a year, you’ll get enough worthwhile games to make the subscription feel like a good investment. The services haven’t really ever delivered on the promise of big, impressive games appearing on our consoles in their full glory, though....
Electronic Arts is bringing the EA Access model to PC, giving gamers access to some excellent deals and making it that much harder to complain about their Origin service. Back in 2014, Electronic Arts announced EA Access, an Xbox One exclusive service that would give players access, for a subscription fee, to full Xbox One games and early access to new EA titles. Additionally, discounts...
The Deep End Games have announced a Kickstarter campaign for an interesting-looking indie title, Perception. The Deep End is made up of members of the BioShock Infinite and Dead Space teams, but don’t expect to be dismembering aliens or riding around on fantastical sky hooks. Perception is a first person narrative game that puts the player in the shoes of a blind girl named Cassie. “...
EA doesn't break from its trends very often, but when it does, against people's misconceptions, it can step up and deliver some wonderful games. It you need to be reminded of that, then maybe you should jump on over to the PlayStation Store where some of EA's best and brightest PlayStation 3 games are on sale for some of the lowest prices I've ever seen. What exactly do we have? Here...
Dead Space fans are in a bit of a fix these days. Dead Space 3's lackluster sales and lukewarm reception blockaded the franchise's forward momentum, and development studio Visceral Games has been put to work on far more lucrative franchises like Battlefield and Star Wars. Does this turn of events leave space for a new Dead Space in the future? "Absolutely," says EA Studios Executive...
Following in suit with Xbox Live's Games with Gold and the PlayStation Plus Instant Game Collection, EA's digital distribution channel, Origin, is now offering a new On The House promotion. "Full games, expansions, and more" will be available for free for a set period of time, and EA is getting the ball rolling with its hit survival-horror game, Dead Space. Typically $20, you can pick...
Xbox Live is having a major sale this week with a quite a few of my favorites games from the Xbox 360 seeing a slashed price of 50 to 67 percent off. The highlight of the sale is Crimson Dragon, the sole Xbox One game to be given a discount. A recent patch updated the difficulty level and added multiplayer, so the 25 percent discount will actually be met with more content than ever...
