    As Event Horizon is one of my favourite horror movies, I was very interessted in "Dead Space" when I first heard about it. I thought about buying it, before I realised the other games that came that season, even as it's gory art didn't really got me in the first place.

    Today I tried the Dismemberment Demo and I have to say, that I am happy to not have bought it. It looks fantastic and the sound is creepy like hell ... but that's definatly not a game for me. From shooting the limbs, to killing this small things that crawl at you, darkness not just surounding you but always creeping in, plus I didn't got the controls right... 
    I gave up on the demo after dieing 5 times in the first room, after just killing like 4, 5 aliens. 

    Obviously I need to shoot zombies in the head, not gun alien-limbs off :)

    Didn't get the controls down? That game has the tightest controls of any 3rd person shooter I've ever played...ever.

    with different functions when in Aim-mode or not, and me panicking, because the aliens were comming closer, while I  was trying to shoot their limbs off, and those little-crawly-things clawing on my face ... the controlls were not tight enough :)

    In the end I stood there, smashing my gun into some alien-face and stomping the ground desperatly ... which amazingly didn't work ;)

    FPS controls? What? I thought this was in third person?
