DateTime:7/8/2009 5:21:12 PM

Another week in gaming has passed, and with it came a hearty mix of stories, including: our review of Dead Space and subsequent angry reactions in the wake of more DRM controversy, the conclusion of our Warhammer Online play log coverage, and our projections for the holiday console war between Microsoft and Sony. Check it out:

A little pee came out: Ars reviews the scares of Dead Space. After days of slowly crawling through the scary emptiness of an abandoned mining vessel in deep space, Ben gives us the final verdict on EA's new survival-horror intellectual property.

EA's DRM, arrogance may cause gamers to skip good titles. As good as Dead Space was, though, EA's recent DRM impositions have gamers in a tizzy. We responded to the criticisms that followed the Dead Space review with an editorial on EA's DRM strategy.

Waging WAR: a two-month report on Warhammer Online. After two months of play testing and countless hours and sleepless nights spent toiling in the worlds of Warhammer, we've got a comprehensive two-month report on EA's new MMO that compiles eight weeks of coverage into one overall assessment.

Holiday wars: Sony counts on games, Microsoft on price. With the holiday war looming, we've taken a look at the platforms of both Sony and Microsoft to see how the two giants are going to duke it out this holiday season as they fight for second place behind the unstoppable Nintendo.
