What the miners don’t know, however, is that The Marker is known to cause delusions, induce psychosis and even mutate anyone into macabre creatures known as Necromorphs. Dead Space Extraction tells the story of a group of four miners who live and work in a colony on the planet Aegis VII, who have recently discovered what several religious fanatics (known in the game as Unitologists) know as “The Marker”, an artefact that has mysterious powers, and is apparently not a force to be toyed with.

My excitement was dwindling until, well, I played the game! Dead Space Extraction is now quite possibly one of my favourite games on the Wii, and one of the best examples of how a lightgun shooter can still convey an engaging story while still keeping the gameplay fresh and exciting.įor those not in the know, Dead Space Extraction is a prequel to the original Dead Space game, and, well, if you haven’t finished the original game and are looking to play it, there are spoilers ahead, so skip this paragraph. Then, they announced it was an on-rails shooter, similar to Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, and I was kind of disappointed. When EA first announced they were releasing a follow up to their 2008 title, Dead Space, exclusively on the Wii, I was excited.

It’s very easy for someone to dismiss a game simply because it’s a genre we’re not interested in, or at least one that hasn’t been perceived as having “depth”.
