Dead Space


This would have been a much more compelling horror game if not for the bizarrely sluggish mouse movement, which feels strangely slow and floaty. You get used to it eventually, but it makes pinpoint-accuracy abnormally and unnecessarily difficult in a game that demands it more than the average shooter.

Dead Space is the first game that can truly be called post-BioShock. You’re an inexplicably mute character on a dark, claustrophobic spaceship dripping with spooky atmosphere, taking instructions from people who may or may not be playing you. But where BioShock was a psychological thriller, Dead Space is an action-horror game that prioritizes blood over brains. ...

We're happy to report, based on ...   » Read Full Dead Space preview

So, are you ready for a hands-on report based entirely on increasingly wavering comparisons? You are? Then let’s go!Dead Space is a bit like Event Horizon, placing you on a ship, the USG Ishimura, that’s ...   » Read Full Dead Space preview
