Dead Space composer scores Section 8
When you play Southpeak’s new squad-based strategic sci-fi themed shooter and hear the wonderful score in the background, be sure to say a little thank-you to BAFTA award-winning composer Jason Graves.

Section 8 is being released by SouthPeak Games for Xbox 360 and PC on September 1st, 2009.
