Visceral Games has launched the “Get Dismembered in Dead Space 2″ contest, which lets YOU think of the best way for Isaac to rip apart a necromorph. Want to enter? Go here! http://www.deadspacegame.com/contest After the entry period is over, the community gets to pick the very best method among ten finalists, and that move will be developed in-game!

The winner will be announced on April 20th. Check out this video for more instructions.
