Although Dead Space 2 is set for release on January 28th 2011, EA revealed the boxart for the title earlier this week. Although the actual image was revealed on the Official Facebook Fan page a while ago, this is the first image of the full PlayStation 3 cover.
The upcoming MMORPG from Square-Enix has been rated as “Teen” by the ESRB. The online game is said to contain up-skirt shots, suggestive references and swear words. All of which is pretty acceptable from your typical game. If you want to know more, the ESRB description of the game below is quite amusing.

If you have updated your PlayStation 3 to Firmware 3.41, you may have noticed that the download was much quicker than previous updates. Somewhere in the past, Sony enabled quick “patches” to be downloaded to the console, rather than downloading the full firmware update which is over 130MB.
