EA doesn't seem to care about VPNs on Origin, no one has been banned for using them to purchase at US prices before.

It was free before, but some may have missed it.
Anyway, for some reason, in France, SimCity 2000 is too evil and violent so they get the child friendly Dead Space game instead.

But, isn't the version they are giving out, in French/German only?

German and French languages for me. You might be able to change the language in-game after installing. Game seems to be beyond my laptops capabilities though, so I won't be trying it.

Gracias! worked for me amigo. For some reason when i download it asks me if I want it in French of German -_- I'll see if I can change the language in game.
added: Tried contacting Origin/EA customer help to change to an English version before I download..and they were really useless. So if you are thinking of getting help from them, forget it, don't waste your time.
added again: I installed it in French (had French or German options only before installing it) and the game runs in French (I don't see anywhere in the options in game to change it), I tried some tweaks from online sites like changing the localetext file but I have yet to make it work (only managed to play the game with no text in the main menu or audio then i repaired and it was back to French). I also tried editing the regedit locale entry of deadspace but it didn't work. I tried to edit the C:-Users-[[username.pc name]]-AppData-Local-Electronic Arts-Dead Space-settings.txt file by adding a 'locale = en' because there was no locale before and the game starts up with a French+Canada flag & a German flag.
I'm still looking for a way to turn it to English.

All this methods for language change works fine, the problem is that there is no english files in this version. That's way game starts without text and audio when you change it to english. I manage to downlod russian file from internet and change language to russian and it's work. I guess that if you find english files from frend that have english version, copy them into game folder and change language will works, but I can't find english file on internet (my russan is not good), so frend seems to be only option...

Its easy to get the store page and download working using Hola or a VPN... is anyone that has a non region locked version of the game able to host a download for the English language files by chance? These don't seem to be included with this download from Origin.

While I'm on a role with these freebies I decided to tell you guys another one I found.
For SimCity 2000™:
Go to Origin's on the house page here
For Dead Space:
Requires French page so here's what you do:
Step 1: Get the hola chrome extension if you don't have it already
Step 2: Go to Origin's on the house page here
Step 3: Click the Hola extension icon while on the Origin's on the house page and select more on the bottom right, then select France
Step 4: If it redirects you back to the home screen try this link which should bring you back
Step 5: After selecting to get the game you need to have the Origin client installed and then have it direct you to the client where it should show in your account! Then you should be able to select your language and install
Enjoy Dead Space! :)
If the language is not English and you can't change it try this
