    I think my best death yet was a three-parter, and it was just amazing to watch, because it really shows off the extent of their limb dismemberment/clipping/physics engine.

    I was flung backwards by one of the explody-dood's arms, which made me land into a bunch of those little crawly things that come out of the big bloated slicer doods, and while I was mashing the shit out of A and X to try and kill them all, one of the mega-slicers (the ones that looks like they have oil all over there) just slices my fucking head off.  As if that wasn't enough, the other super bloated slicer, after I died, was crawling around with his claws, and ended up slamming both of them into my dead body, dismembering my leg and arm from me.  LOL

    Fucking epic.

    I had just cleared a room and there were several of the hole-in-head bodies on the ground...I walked over to the shop, I heard a noise and thought "just a slicer..I'll deal with him in a second."  I start hearing a lot of noise and kinda think.."what the..."  I turn around and see a bat thing has converted about 4 into durable slicers and was running over to another pile.  I just kinda sat there and said "wow, I'm so dead.."  It didn't end well.  After I respawned I went back and kinetic grabbed all the bodies and used the ripper to grind them into dust before I let the bats spawn.  I made those bastards pay.

    The bats single-handedly made me learn the value of stomping the FUCK out of dead bodies before continuing onward.  LOL

    The part where you have to go on the exterior of the ship and hide behind stuff so you dont get smashed by asteroid hunks. Well, if you get killed on that part you basically get blown up, but for some reason both of my legs were still attached to my waist and they went floating off into space twirling around. Looked hilarious.

    They don't have names, other than the "slicer" which was only called that by a dev and never in game.  In the game they are all called necromorphs..

    I'm not gonna lie.  I think it's AWESOME that you have to describe them.  It makes people see a type of image in their head, and then they go "man, I kinda wanna see that".
    Basically, everything in the game looks like it walked out of John Carpenter's The Thing...except for the Brutes.  Those are specifically named in the game, and those things are basically The Thing-meets-silverback gorilla!!!

    My best death came when I was fighting the final boss, the Hive Mind.

    I had reached the second part when it grabs you by the leg with its tentacles and hurls you into the air, flailing you around every which way while you hear certain parts of your body crack. It seems if you don't destroy all of its weak points fast enough, another tentacle comes over and wraps around your arm, and just rips it off. At first, I thought this was part of the fight, because it almost seemed to give me back control. But, then its...head lurched forward and drove the upper half of my body into its rings of teeth. Isaac screams horribly, and all that remains is the lifeless lower half of my Epic Tier 3 Engineer.

    Dead Space's death sequences are some of the most horrifying and visceral I've ever seen. I love it.

    no doubt the best death i experienced (they were few) was during the segment where you need to put the beacon on the asteroid. Those gyrator spikes of death turned me into a fucking stump. It cut off all my limbs and my head and hurled me back into the room
