EA has been well known for sports games and family friendly content but it looks like they want to try a shot at the M rated titles with Dead Space.

The move to M rated games is a big one for EA and came out of left field but how can you make a space horror game and not include violent and graphic content and still keep it interesting, well you cant so they have pushed the limit of the M rating.

executive producer of Dead Space Glen Schofield said “EA is always like: ‘We’re going to make T-rated games, sports games.’… The idea with this game was: ‘We are M. We’re clearly in the middle of M, if not M-plus.’”

I don't know about you guys but this is music to my ears and i cant wait to see the game in all its blood soaked glory.

Dead Space is set to release Halloween of 08 for 360, PS3 and PC.
