    So I'm on my second play through of Dead Space and once again it is blowing my mind out of the back of my skull. The visuals, the gameplay, the sound, everything is so amazingly perfect. Sorry to soil my shorts over a game via the forums, but I just had to share my love for this game. I have never been into survival horror games in my life, but I can still confidently say that this game goes in my top 10 games of all time. That's right, top 10 of all time. I'll leave it at that because I could probably go on for paragraphs which would lead me to thinking I should have just written a review. I can't remember the last time I loved a game this much.  
     
    This game makes me thank God for gaming. Can I get an Amen?

    Amen bro, did you just get the game recently? 
     
    I said this game rocked, even before it came out, why? Because it looked and sounded great!

    Normally, I would play devil's advocate and argue.  But Dead Space really is that good.  Amen!

    I liked this game too, my only complaint is it's a bit short, but that makes it a great rental for anyone who hasn't played it yet. Other survival horror/action horror games you should try are Silent hill 2, Resident Evil 2 and my personal favorite "The Suffering", goddamn that game was good, fantastic use of sound, definitely check it out!

    Have you played it with headphones on? If not, you haven't played it.

    Amen, brother. If it's any testament to my love of this game, every time there's a thread about Dead Space I feel compelled to give my $0.02 of ranting admiration for it. I don't think I've done that with any other game, with the possible exception of Portal.

    The best way to play Dead Space is with all the lights out and the volume turned up.  If you can get someone who is very jumpy it helps too.   
     
    BTW playing with a maxed out Force Gun is SICK!!

    Surround sound headphones with subs. Always best for that.

    I got it a semester or two ago but for some reason left off at chapter 11. I finally got around to finishing it a few days ago and am already almost done with my second playthrough. 
     
    I'm glad to see all the love for this game from everyone in this thread.

    @ep_driver:  It doesnt annoy you how vulnurable your health is, and if you fuck up just ONCE you get attacked and bitchslapped and almost die ?  and what about the way the camera is just hanging behind you, swaying left and right uncomfortably? how about the unsatisfying multiple-bullet guns ?

    I didn't seem to notice really any of those points Ahmad Metallic, apart from the multiple bullet guns. If they're was better customisation, it would be amazing. I'd also like to see co-op.

    I thought the game was good but not amazing.  Some stuff was pretty awesome, but the mission design (exit train, go push a button and kill a bunch of dudes, come back to train, rinse and repeat) was just lame. Also it was a bit too Japanese for me.

    No offense, but co-op would be a horrible idea.  It would have to be shoehorned in there so hard, I think it would take away from the game ala RE5.
