If you read my previous  blogs you will know that I have recently been playing though the original Dead Space. Last night I realised that although I love the game I only seem to be able to play though one chapter at a time. Why is that? 
 
Now I have to say that I am not easily scared so I don't really find Dead Space scary in the least but I realised I do find it extremely exhilarating. Constantly while I am playing the game my heart is pounding and I am on the edge of my seat. Be it because I have 8 necromorphs chasing me with no ammo or even when nothing is happening and I am anticipating what the game will throw at me next. I only seem to be able to handle that much excitement and anticipation in short doses. 
 
That seems strange to me because I have always been able to binge on game and play them for a whole day straight and even though I love this game I am finding it hard to play for more than an hour. This left me wondering if other people are the same with this game or any other game they have played recently?  
 
Is it strange that I have to wind down after playing Dead Space when generally I use gaming to wind down from work or other stresses in my life?
