Dead Space

Feeling safe is the last thing that is conceded to the player. Run from the darkness of a cold, and, although, cruel place becomes the main goal. The disease of the story has the same core that groomes within the brutality of the gameplay. If you're not afraid of facing fear, this game will reveal how deep the pain of living a terror can be, in any aspect of experiencing the dread.

Taking the good parts from various different movies and games this survival horror/action game really managed to surprise me. I expected a game with gore and some cheap scares. I got that. But I also got a game so filled with atmosphere, I don't think there were many of last years games that can compare. The derelict ship, automated voices, flickering lights, the audio logs, the necromorphs and the few, crazed survivors really draws you in. And there is also the sense of despair, the sense that you are fighting with less and less chance of survival. All in all, the game doesn't do anything new, but it does it really well making it a pleasurable experience.

The best SCARY space game ever. This tops most of the horror titles in gaming. Not that I'm saying the other games are bad, I'm just saying this is different and unique. This game has horror, story, characters, and gore. I have not felt so attracted to a space game, but man...this is awesome! The characters are solid, Issac Clarke is just an engineer, just one man that just fixes freaking ships goes against a thousand aliens...(badass). I like the other characters too, the facial and mouth moving are great. The story is epic, I mean epic to the bone! Don't want to spoil anything. Graphics are superb, even in the void of space! The aliens were great, they did their job to scare the sh!t out of me. This is one of the games that you can describe with one word: Unforgettable! 10/10

The mark of a good game is that you can go back and play it again with the same or even more enjoyment. This is one of those games. My review is a little late as DS has been out for quite some time but I just played it again and found it better second time around. I do not think DS was made specifically for 3D but it plays OK except for some shadow effects that tend to make you go cross-eyed! Apart from that it is quite good with nice depth of field. In favour of DS is the fact that it is not short and you have a definite final objective in finding your girlfriend. I like a game that does not totally bamboozle you to the point where you are stuck and give up in frustration. Once you master various "Powers" the fights with the Necromorphs are very satisfying. I would really like to know how big the USG Ishimura is in height as the elevator rides suggest it could be over 40 stories!! you can take a Tram on this outer Space Behemoth believe it or not but then again it is set waaaaaay into the future, Great Game. Ratcat.

I haven't felt this level of stress and fear from playing a game since I played Resident Evil at 8 years old and this game captured that same feeling as an 18 year old.
