Dead Space

The original and terrifying new IP from EA cribs tricks from all the greats of survival horror's past, but manages to do it so well that it doesn't really matter. The action and controls are fantastic, and the atmosphere and monsters will get under your skin. We wish there was more of the original stuff, like the inventive Zero G sections, but we can live with this, since it might be the best game of this type since Resident Evil 4.

Dead Space - hands-on
Two new blood-basted areas have our full attention
May 17, 2008
The first Dead Space walkthrough we attended wowed us with grotesque monsters right out of The Thing and an oppressive atmosphere that screamed Alien, so the skeleton of a great game seemed intact. However, we couldn't go all-out crazy for the game until we sat down and blasted some otherworldly creatures for ourselves; now that we have, our pre-emptive excitement is one step closer to validation. We're happy to report, based on ...   » Read Full Dead Space preview

In your parent's basement, no one can hear you scream
Mar 3, 2008
EA have clearly been shamefully stealing furtive glances over the shoulders of their peers before furiously scribbling borrowed ideas into their code for Dead Space, but the end result is clever, engaging and wonderfully scary. 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
Dead Space
Filling the void with horror
Jan 11, 2008
Jan 11, 2008 No need to be very afraid with this one - at least, not as far as the games quality is concerned. Two of our correspondents have sat down for extensive run-throughs of Dead Space; both have come back from EA HQ with good words tumbling from their slack-jawed mouths. Its hard to believe that no one has thought to mine the ‘haunted house in space theme for a videogame project before this, given that theres an entire bloated genre of this stuff in ...   » Read Full Dead Space preview
Hands-on: Dead Space
World's first play of astro-shocker
Dec 4, 2007
Dec 4, 2007 A worrying clanging noise began building in volume aboard the Ishimura, the vessel serving as the setting for Event Horizon-ish galactic horrorfest Dead Space. We were warned. “Be careful, this is LOUD”, guffawed Glen Schofield, Executive Producer on the game. Even so, we werent quite prepared for the hurricane that came out of the speakers the first time we came up against the Necromorphs, and we nearly deposited the coffee wed been drinking directly onto EAs plush ...   » Read Full Dead Space preview
