I think your giving the original game more credit then it deserves. It tried to be a lot of things but ultimately it was only the gore that they nailed. I found the game quite boring after a while.

As for the clips, they just seem like a group of workers at EA had a lot of time on their hands. What people just seem to forget is that games like Dead Space are aimed at kids. No matter what rating gets slapped on the box EA knows its the 13 year old crowd that'll want the game the most. Why not aim the advertising at them? Stupid not to.
