Scared the crap outta me
Dead Space is a legitimate scare fest. Whenever I think of scary or spooky games I think Fatal Frame, Resident Evil or Silent hill and some of the great scary movies made to games, (The Thing). Dead Space can be added to the treasure list for many reasons. After about two hours of playing I noticed myself feeling queasy and sitting near the edge of the couch to "see" better. I actually had to stop playing because I felt a bit too on edge! Around every corner I would stop and stare almost indefinitely at the collage of lights that seem to ruin one's sane perception of the situation. The music is absolutely, positively horrifying; Almost to the point that you want to just lower it or shut it off. It does such a good job of distracting the player from the true goal. Graphically, Dead Space is on par with Gears in terms of sheer detail and beauty. The absence of a traditional HUD is something that was a universe altering effect and I won't be surprised if EVERYONE did it this way from now on. The game menus are fairly easy to use and the kiosk purchasing system is eerily reminiscent of Bioshock. The story is pretty cliche as far as sci-fi goes; but, that is almost an afterthought next to the other achievements this game spills over with. Get ready to STOMP your way to the end and enjoy a pretty gory frightening feast.

AWSOME!
This game is GREAT!! It has all the thirills and chills of a GREAT suspence/horror game....but in space! Simply a MUST HAVE!!
