User Rating: 9.5 | Dead Space X360
Dead Space is an outstanding survival horror game from EA. Set in space on a spaceship called the USG Ishamura. Dead Space is one of the most atmospheric and satisfying games out there in the genre with amazing graphics, lighting effects and sound effects. While playing this game you will find yourself on the edge of your seat and fully immersed in its excellent storyline.

Your enemies in the game are a breed of alien called the 'necromorphs' these disturbing creatures are controlled in the game by excellent and intelligent AI and will do the best in their ability to tear you limb from limb. In this game to dispose of your enemies easier you will have to use a tactic called strategic dismemberment were you have to shoot off the necros limbs to dispose of them a lot quicker and conserve ammo. The gameplay in this game is very similar to that of Resident Evil 4 were an over the shoulder camera view is used and you shoot by holding down the LT button to hold up your weapon and the RT to fire it. A lot of people just dub this game 'resident evil 4 in space' because of this, but this game is very different and is a game in itself. The game does contain some mysteries like a survival horror and at points you will find yourself low on ammo so I think this game does fit into the survival horror genre as some people just try to dub this an action game.

This game is extremely atmospheric and is guaranteed to make you jump at points as the extremely smart necromorphs try to ambush you there are also boss fights and you can upgrade your weapons and buy new ones and upgrade your armour etc. This is an excellent quality game and one of the most atmospheric out there if you want a good on the edge of your seat horror sci-fi game then this is the one for you, for me this is a contender for game of the year and is flat out awesome, I could explain the game more for you but I won't ruin it for you, go buy it now!
