Dead Space 2 Lullaby trailer

By Ryan Fleming November 12, 2010

It is rare that a video game can actually illicit a true emotional response from people. Sure, while playing a game you might feel the odd rush of excitement or enjoyment, even frustration, but to feel things like happiness or fear is something special. EA is hoping to jump on that fear train, when it releases the sci-fi survival horror game Dead Space 2 early next year.

The game finds protagonist Isaac Clarke suffering a mild case of going insane following his exposure to the marker at the end of the first game, plus the somewhat stressful circumstances of watching everyone he arrived with brutally murdered by monsters that kill people as a hobby.

In the second game Isaac awakens in a hospital to find himself in the space station/city known as the Sprawl. The Sprawl is facing a Necromorph infection, and once again Isaac is the prime rib at the end of their buffet. As he completes objectives in order to survive and escape, the station continues to fall to the Necromorphs, and things look bleak.

In the “Lullaby trailer” below that EA released last week, check out Isaac running for his life and fighting off waves of terrible, terrible things. Dead Space 2 is due out on January 25, 2011 for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.

Cities: Skylines 2: release date, trailers, gameplay, and more

A screenshot from Cities: Skylines 2's cinematic reveal trailer.

After the Sim City franchise faded away, gamers were left with few options when it came to city-building simulations. That changed when Cities: Skylines came out. The first game was a smash hit, filling the void left by the pioneer of the genre, and in many ways even surpassing it. However, that game came out in 2015, and even the numerous updates and DLC packs added to the game could only extend its life so long. Now, Cities: Skylines 2 has been officially revealed and fans have already built up their hopes as high as skyscrapers. Have the developers designed the perfect system for this sequel to thrive and grow? Let's take a bird's eye view and see what groundwork has been laid for Cities: Skylines 2.
Release date

Cities: Skylines 2 will be fully constructed and ready to play on October 24, 2023.

How to unlock the Invader in Remnant 2

Archetypes are what Remnant 2 designates their classes. Unlike the first game which had only three to pick from, the sequel has 10 total classes to pick and change between, however, the majority of them are not available when you begin. You will need to first pick one of the starting four Archetypes before going out into the world to unlock the rest. Some are easier to unlock than others, with the Invader being one that has stumped many players. If you want to try out one of the most unique classes in Remnant 2, here's how you can unlock it.

How to unlock the Engineer in Remnant 2

An overview highlighting the engineer class in Remnant 2.

Unlike the first game in the series Remnant 2 doesn't limit you to just the initial four starting Archetypes for the entire game. In fact, there are 10 in total you can play with, but not until you unlock them within the game itself. One such Archetype is the Engineer, which is a unique class that focuses on laying down turrets and wielding heavy weapons. If that sounds like a playstyle you'd like to try, finding this Archetype on your own may never happen since you need to do something rather counterintuitive. To cut down on your searching, here's exactly how to unlock the Engineer in Remnant 2.
