GamePro: Dead Space Review

GamePro writes: "Dead Space is a riveting survival horror game, unflinchingly violent from start to finish. Blindly unpredictable and incredibly intense, Dead Space keeps your heart pumping the entire game. It's got aliens, zero-g shootouts, blood, guts, and broken bones. It's unnervingly tense one moment and piss-your-pants terrifying the next. It's an exhilarating tale of aliens, claustrophobia, and isolation in a dark corner of outer space where no one can hear you scream.

Dead Space is a showcase piece of dark-side entertainment that rivals the marvelous designs of such games as BioShock, Gears of War, and Resident Evil 4. But be advised that it is definitely not for the queasy or the faint of heart. Still, if you can stomach its horrors, you will be rewarded with one of the best survival horror experiences ever created."

Deadspace is looking like this years sleeper hit. I've already got Fable 2 and Fallout 3 pre-ordered, then Gears 2 and Left 4 Dead in Nov. Probably won't get to play through Deadspace til early next year. Dammit, it snuck up on me.

1.3 - Excellent News....
I was wondering if to buy this as these types of games look great (like Alone in the Dark) and play like a piece of crap.

Excellent news that this isn't the case for Dead Space, which I will definatly be buying on Day one.

I am gonna be so broke within the next month.

Just within this past 30 days I have either bought or pre-ordered Crysis WarHead, Stalker:Clear Sky, Red Alert 3, Fallout 3, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, Call of Duty 5, Silent Hill: Homecoming, The Witcher: EH.

And those are just the PC games I ordered!

Don't get me started on the console games that cost at least an extra $10 on average compared to the PC games.

5 - Fat Wallet!!
All these games coming out in the next 3 months is going to kill my wallet...lol. Then it starts again in Feb. 2009. I have been watching Dead space since they first showed it, and I have been nothing less than blown away each time they presented something new. This is a definite buy on Tuesday for me. They were nice enough to move the release date up twice...the original release was the 28th, then they moved it up to the 21st...then to the 14th....awesomeness!!!!!

Too bad I have to choose Red Alert 3 over this. I wish I could actually get a job. I'm 16 years old and have no license because I didnt get my permit until after I was sixteen because my stupid guidance counselor put me in drivers ed 3rd quarter of school, in 2008 when this stupid law of driving with a permit for 9 months came into action and now I can't get a job because I have no way of getting to work since the nearest place to work(with good pay) is friggin 30 miles..

ahhhh Peow, i feel bad for you.

dont worry, one day you wont have to worry about useless things like school and can focus on your primary objective of spending your hard earned money on great games.

the day i graduated high school / college was the day i said "f*ck you" to worthless time wasters (i.e. classes / schoo work).

since everyone else has a list, i should add mine as well :)

(no order)
1. Dead Space 2. Fallout 3 3. Left 4 Dead 4. Silent Hill: Homecoming

GeoW is listed in the same category as RE4 and Bioshock? Doesn't it fall into a different genre?

My guess is they probably were comparing it to other Game of the Year award winners. Or maybe innovators? In any case, it should be viewed as receiving similar high achievements.

wow.... does anybody remember the days we would have written this game off just for being developed by EA.

Nobody has even mentioned it now. sounds like they are starting to get it right.

can't wait for this game. i have followed it since i first heard about it but was never sure about getting it due to it being EA. but it sounds like they really have made a great game and its good to hear everyone is getting it. this should encourage them to focus on more games like this of a hight quality.

can't wait !

EA have been trying to turn it around. We'll have to get used to the fact the shovelware sports games will never go away, but as long as they bring quality titles to the table, then they deserve as much as a chance as any other publisher.
