    Dead Space 2, and why it is amazing

    So back when the original was released it wasnt all that hyped, which was good I had low expectations and was consequently blown away, it was chilling and a refreshing addon to the horror genre. I was really excited when Dead Space 2 was announced, being a huge fan of the first, but the problem for me is that (being a fan of the Resident Evil series) these games feel like them (RE). I dont know if its just me or not, but I think the base shooter mechanics are roughly the same save for the ability to walk and shoot at the same time. Now that said, Dead Space 2's graphics are phenominal, and yes I have played Crysis and no the graphics are not better, the lighting is amazing, and then there's the sound... if one thing in the game can chill you to the bone, tis the sound.

      So it's been two years and something like 3 months since the first Dead Space hit the scene, and with a generally well received birth it was a absolute wonder to me how Dead Space 2 just seemed to come out of left field in the grand scheme of things. Baseball phrasing aside however, it was a very welcomed surprise regardless or at least I hoped it would be, especially considering the quality of its predecessor and yet it doesn...
