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. Beautiful ambiance mixed with an undertow of lurking fear, its easy to sink into the dark coridoors of Dead Space 2, and as much as I was disapointed at first, I have fallen 100% in love with this game.
