Dead Space

Just got this game. It's very Doom 3-ish but I still like it. I guess I'm a sucker for space horrors. lol

Dead Space has gotten some really good reviews, and I've been really looking forward to checking it out. GameFly finally sent it to me today so I guess on Monday or Tuesday I'll finally get to check it out for myself!

Is it one of those "30 minutes of running around, then something pops out at you and nearly kills you" kind of games?

Anyways...

There is quite a few "pops out moments", however it's not totally random. You can almost always hear them coming, and with a good surround sound system, locate where they will appear. But the game is pretty much completely indoors in small rooms and hallways, so you never have much time to get prepared.

I said reply now. Anyhow, is it fun? I assume yes, or at least it is until you get bored of the cramped environments.

I have a feeling of Been there done that with just looking at Dead Space.

Doom 1, Doom 2, Final Doom, Run Like Hell, Doom 3, Alien, Aliens 2, Aliens 3. Blah blah blah.. Like I said been there done that.

Dead Space is an outstanding, outstanding game. First good product that came out after a rather mediocre summer of video-games. It wasn't long -- about ten hours -- but it didn't try to be longer to squeeze any more out of the game. The plot was good, the voice-acting was awesome, and the gameplay never got old. It was a lot more than the usual space-horror games tried to be, with the inclusion of enemies that don't have measurable or predictable damage standards (which means you'll be blasting corpses long after they're dead, because even the ones you've decapitated have a habit of coming back to eat you), zero-gravity space exploration, and the use of time-stasis and telekinesis.

There's a lot more to this game than the ads and the reviews mention.

I can't wait for the sequel.

I was interested in this game when I read the review of it in Game Informer. I haven't bought a game for awhile though (and I haven't downloaded any either

).
