Dario Argento is considered one of the best horror film directors of all time. He's best know for his work on the 1977 film Susperia and also collaborated with George Romero on the original Dawn of the Dead film. Now the Italian director will be doing something new for him; a voice role in an upcoming game.

That game is Dead Space, the close-to-release sci-fi survival horror game from developer Electronic Arts. Argento will voice the role of Doctor Kyne in the game and while US audiences won't hear him speak Argento has already given his vote of approval for Dead Space. In the press release announcing his involvement he is quoted as saying, "Dead Space" truly captures the essence of fear in an entertainment medium. Not only is it the most terrifying game I've ever played, but it's also one that all fans of horror will appreciate." The game will be released for the PC on October 20.
