Got a sick and twisted mind? Dead Space 2 needs you!

Do you fantasize about dissecting frogs in biology class? Have you ever found yourself staring a little too long at flattened animals on the side of the road? Are you, perchance, a budding serial killer?

If so, has the team working on Dead Space 2 got an opportunity for you!

Head herefor the full details. And, seriously, consider entering. If the screens and video below are any indication, these guys are desperate for ideas…
