Dead Space (PC)

Bringing the mutant hordes to the screamless depths of space, Dead Space breathes some needed life into the Survival Horror genre. The biggest surprise is this little gem actually comes from the overly ambitious sims-milking EA who have had much critiscism in the past but i think this is definitely on the right track to pushing them into a different light. Anyways back to the game, anyone who has played Resident Evil 4 will feel quite at home with this game. The camera angle is in the exact same spot sort of a locked third person "over the shoulder view", you have shops with multiple upgrades to your gear and a lot of customisability through power ...  Read the complete review

It's not often that a game will scare you senseless, but Dead Space is one of those rare gems which, if you allow it, will leave you with nightmarish visions, twitching in the corner! Dead Space takes a slightly different spin on the usual First Person Shooter genre by positioning the camera just behind your avatar's shoulder, in a similar vein to Gears of War.

I love/hate this game, how could you do this to me? running down a corridor being chased by vaguely human forms, leaving me low on ammo while forcing me to shoot any corpse I find I dont remember putting there, then I see the light at the end and slowly moving towards safety monsters pop out of vents and kill me. this game has me on the edge of my seat everytime I try to advance in it, wich isnt a lot because it doesnt actualy work on this computer ( it should) so I can only play it when I have acces to my lil brothers computer and even then I dont think this game is suitable for him. this game channels great space and zombie ...  Read the complete review

This is a classic survival horror game. Its got all the mechanics and atmosphere of the classic Resident Evil series but also adds in a few things that add to the gameplay, not take away from it. Set in the distant future you are an engineer sent on a repair mission to a deep space mining ship. Its also personal because Isaac the engineer has an ex-girlfriend aboard the ship whom he misses dearly. The mood is set immediatly as your small space vessal is destroyed and your confronted with a mess of broken machines and, the necromorphs. To seperate itself from other generic survival horror games Dead Space focuses on dismembering your enemies instead of just shooting them. ...  Read the complete review
