    Dead Space is fantastic, but after finishing both games, I have to say that Gears 2 has it beat.  It simply has some "wow" moments that DS lacks.

    Dead Space in a nutshell:

    Chapter 1 to 4: Fun and scary
    Chapter 4 to the Marines ship: Fun but samey
    The Marines ship to the end: Utter grinding.

    By just shooting elements and some of the weapons, its far better than gears, but being able to chainsaw people apart and the finishers it has, gears tops it in those regards. I would say one of the best though also, I enjoyed Dead Space a lot, and there weren't like a mass amount of shooters that came out this year, so it stands out to me.

    I like the way there was no roadie run. And you can run so nicely in any direction. Gave a lot more control to you as the player.

    It certainly wins my vote for best game that defied all expectations. It is an original EA game, that happens to be great. How often does that happen?

    I also completed both DS and GoW2, gow2 was some fun, serious fun but imo DS has gow2 beat.  Better visuals, better audio, better story, and it the shooting feels on par with gow itseflf being the best to 3rd person shooters.  DS ftw.

    Dead Space is not scary at ALL. Its just another shooter. Buts its a pretty damn good shooter. But its nothing more than that.
