Wii gamers got the shaft the first time around on the DEAD SPACE franchise. The game hit hard for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC; it spawned a comic book, tie-in DVD, soundtrack, and more, yet anyone with a loyalty leaning toward Nintendo didn't get to play. This Fall that changes as the Wii get's a brand-new installment of DEAD SPACE, and everyone else gets left out. This one is a Wii-exclusive, and we've got the trailer and details after the break. |

As a privileged, Jewish Yale graduate who grew up as a dirt-poor black boy, I was very excited for this momentous occasion.
