Dead Space was one of the finest iOS games we've ever played when it released back in January, and not a whole lot has changed since then. Few games have come along since then to challenge its throne. Today that just got even more difficult as EA announced a big new update to the game that will add several great additions.
The big addition is the all-new Survival mode which pits Isaac Clarke against incoming hordes of necromorphs. Anybody who is familiar with Gears of War 2's Horde Mode (or the similar mode in Halo Reach) will know a bit about what to expect. The second addition is an all-new difficulty level dubbed "Nightmare," a reference no doubt to the original Doom's ultra-high difficulty level.
There's also the requisite amount of bug fixes as well as a new gun called the Heavy Pulse Rifle which will be purchaseable with in-game currency. There are a lot of great games on iOS, and a lot of them get great updates, but if Dead Space keeps getting better it's going to be very tough to beat for Mac|Life iOS game of the year.
