Gamespot review for Dead Space 9.0
It was looking like a game well worth playing before this score turned up, but this score is reassuring.
I'm really glad to see it scoring well. I had high hopes for this game; I've been wanting a fun survival horror to play.
Game who?
even though they have been lenient with the scores lately, 9.0 is still pretty good. This is looking to be a pretty good year despite what others say.
I already had it preordered before the swell of awesome reviews came in. Now I don't know which game to put in my PS3 first, seeing as Dead Space and LBP arrive on the same day (here in the UK)! Choices!
Dead Space has always been on my radar and I seen it was getting good, but not flashy reviews from other sites. Interesting that gamespot gave it such a high score. This is encouraging though, and I will have a look at it. Since I was already nearly certainly probably going to get it anyway, it wont influence my decision.
""Close-quarters combat is troublesome"
Is that not supposed to be with such games.
"
I think this is a valid point. Horror games in which your character can easily dispatch all threats sort of removes the "horror," no?
However, that's not a free pass for developers to implement crap controls. I think the close-quarters issues are most likely attributed primarily to the lack of a quick-turn feature. Not having played the game myself, I can't say whether this will be a big source of contention personally, but I'm still pretty excited about getting the chance to play Dead Space. Gamespot's score isn't a deciding factor by any means, but there have been a slew of positive reviews from other respected publications.
It looks spectacular . I am a horror-survival Fan and I admit that my Jaws dropped when I saw that Game , I am gonna buy it ASAP .
"Do we really have to have threads like this?"I agree, "X game got review score of ___" There's so many of these threads it's ridiculous. If people must state review scores for a game, it should be contained all in one thread, not individual ones.
No offense Dual. <3

I think it's ok to have threads like these. Those who care check it out, those who don't care.. don't check it out.
yeah..from now on it would be better if you're going to make threads like this to begin with, just get a single one started that you can edit the title and show every review instead of having a new thread started everytime a single review gets put up. Anyway I definitely am getting the game( of course it didn't get in today even though its tuesday, cuz east coast gets fucked out of everything) so while I agree this game deserves the good scores from what I've seen, I'm never taking gamespots review to ever be credible, especially by that tool Lark Anderson.
What the hell was with that Lark Anderson guy?
A video review is supposed to be like having a friend recomend a game for you, not having each word so carefully pronounced or expanding your vocabulary in order to show how serious you are. That was an absolutely horrible video review.
This game seems to be getting more favorable reviews than the new Silent Hill, and I actually like that game quite a bit, so here's hoping I love Dead Space.
"still no ps3 review though."The PS3 was the lead platform so it will be the same, possibly better.
"shadows_kill said:more than likely the same. they may say something extra for it though. but why not release both at once?"still no ps3 review though."The PS3 was the lead platform so it will be the same, possibly better."
"AaronBelfast said:More people own a 360. It makes sense. They'll review in a few days, GS always go through that routine."shadows_kill said:more than likely the same. they may say something extra for it though. but why not release both at once?""still no ps3 review though."The PS3 was the lead platform so it will be the same, possibly better."
The minute I heard about this game, I was pumped, but this is definitely a positive sign. Definitely checking this out.
