Dead Space To Launch Early, Banned in Three Countries

EA Redwood Shores' Dead Space seems to be one of the few games that has its release constantly moved forward. Shortly after news that the game's European debut was moved up to Oct. 24th, the company announced that the US launch date would be moved up to October 14th. Unfortunately, EA's Ben Swanson also said the game has been banned in China, Germany, and Japan. (Announcement here, sound toggle to the upper right of the page.)

Why is this game being banned? I've seen far worse in games before. If they ban this, they may as well ban Resident Evil, because that game has much worse scenes in it.

weird.... banned? for what reason? I need answers... even worse, germany china and especially japan.. surprising isn't it? lol
