Unfortunately in real life many people say that line at the most unfunny of times.

I may have considered buying this if the writing was somewhat decent, which it clearly is not. This looks right on par with the horrendous Dead Space: Downfall movie...ugh that was bad.

This should be free DLC for Dead Space 1. Basic mini games wrapped around a NON interactive comic book story seems an odd one to say the least

Yeah I like the idea they are trying something new also. For me, this is probably the reason why I will buy this. Gotta support new ideas.

The minigame doesn't look that bad. It'll get repetitive pretty soon, but it's not that bad. Motion comics... argh. I hate them. And I live for comic books. But REAL comic books, not these awful hybrids.

There seems to be a theme developing.  
Both of the Dead Space spin-off games so far have opened with terrible, ham fisted sexual innuendo.

I lost all interest in this game  when I saw that it opened with the most lame/old joke in the history of time.

Why did this need to be made? Who came up with this? 
 
My guess is, someone made the mini game but in order to maximize profits they decided to shoehorn it in to Dead Space. The only thing about that video that even hinted at dead space was the back life bar. 
 
Dead Space Ignition will be in the running for the "Dude What?" Award for 2010.

The dev trying to get people riled over what's basically a mediocre flash game was a lot weirder than the shitty animation and the awful writing.

I mean, i could see the Wii Rail shooter, but what the fuck is this?

Just pretend this doesn't exist, like Final Fantasy X-2. We'll all be better for it.
 
With that said, I can't wait for Dead Space 2. You know, the actual game.

Starts too cute and the woman voice actor isn't really good. However, I really loved the pre-DS1 animated comic series, and this one is too clean in comparison. I still want to watch/play it, but the cost is prohibitive. 
 
In context, the game is incredibly silly.

I really liked the animated comic series for the first game, but then those were just short videos, not a "game".  The writing and voice acting seemed better in the old series as well.

I'll assume those graphics aren't finalised yet!? Everything very much looks like it's still in story board stage rather than actually having an interesting/unique style =|
