Dead Space

templetrio's Dead Space (Xbox 360) review

This game is absolutely fabulous.

I loved RE4 and this game has a lot in common with the playstyle.  I like the upgrade system, the graphics are good enough that nothing ever stood out, the atmosphere was great for keeping up the suspense\thriller mood of the game.  The game was very fun to play, the bosses were fun, the achievements are not hard to get if you don't mind multiple playthroughs (i will need 3 total for all achievements, 2 on normal and 1 on impossible).  With that said, I had fun both times I went through the game so far and still have enough gas left to finish my run on impossible.  I liked how the upgrades to the armor were visible each time, and I think the main character looked very cool, even more so as he progressed through the different armor levels.  This game took me 11 hours to beat it the first time (although that is because I have to search every last corner for all items) and 6 hours the second time, I am on par to beat it in 6 hours on impossible mode.  If you can find this game for $49.99 or less, consider it a sound purchase.

Well, thankfully, no, because Dead Space does enough on its own part for it to be set apart from almost every game of 2008 as one of the best games of the year, horror or not. Playing as Isaac Clarke, a silent engineer, the player will traverse...

EA has decided to buck the trend this year; a company so used to spewing out sequels is now concentrating on starting new franchises, and EA Redwood Shores latest, Dead Space, has all the ingredients to become another big hit. With an animated comic book and animated movie already released, the markers have been firmly set; now it’s time for the game to deliver. So far, it’s on the right track. So few survival horror games throw you into space to fight aliens, that’s normally action territory; a...
