Space, of the Dead variety
By hallwaygiant 2 Comments
So...I've been playing Dead Space interestingly enough. I don't have my Xbox down here at school, but some friends of mine got last Thursday and we've been working our way through the game. Right now we're on Chapter 7 or 8.
This game really caught me off guard. I consider myself to be on the up and up most of the time when it comes to games. Obviously I can't be on top of everything, but for the most part I like to think I am. Not so much with Dead Space. I had heard about it, but I guess I really think much of it. Even though I'm only a little over half way through with the game I can say it's a pretty damn solid game. The story hasn't really gone anywhere crazy, but it's certainly not boring or dull. It's also pretty long, I mean I'm not sure hour wise how long we've been playing, but I think 10+ hours would not be out of the question and again we're on chapter 7 out of 12 so...that's pretty impressive. Oh, and I thought I'd mention it's kind of funny because one of my friends who bought the game is also pretty stoked for BioShock on the PS3 (that's what I've been playing Dead Space on by the way) and while their very different games the similarities are almost comical. Distant human created environment overrun with monsters, the main character is communicating with other survivors, upgrading weapons, ammo, etc. But yeah, I'm obviously not done, so I'll be interested to see where it goes but like I keep saying it's just crazy how much this game just came out of the left field. I'll probably write more if I ever finish it.
p.s Has anyone taken a look at the Dead Space page? I mean, I love Giant Bomb, but man that page is all over the place.
