Dead Space.

[Nyanko]

It's a year old, but it can still make you jump after playing it a few times.

Hard mode is insane. I been trying to beat it for I don't know how long, a month maybe.

It's survival horror BTW. It reminds me of Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Bioshock, Gears of war [at times]

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The player takes the role of Isaac Clarke (named after science fiction writers Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke), an engineer who must fight his way through a stricken mining ship infested with hostile, grotesque monstrosities called Necromorphs, which are human corpses transformed and reanimated by an unknown alien organism. The game features an 'over the shoulder' third-person perspective, similar to the gameplay in Resident Evil 5 and Gears of War. Players can upgrade modules, including suit and weapons.

The interface of Dead Space does not feature a traditional head-up display. Instead, all information is relayed to the player via holographic projections and the features on the suit and the weapons themselves. For example, a small display on the weapon shows an ammo count; also, the 'health meter' that indicates Isaac's condition is integrated into the spine of Isaac's armor. Via floating holograms projected in front of Isaac, the player can check the current objectives and the 3D map, or access the inventory screen to manage items. Meanwhile, however, the game still progresses through time, and the player is always in danger of being attacked. The only menus in which the game is not still in progress are the pause and save menus. The player can still be attacked when using the store or upgrade bench, meaning there are effectively no "safe" points.

Combat in Dead Space becomes complicated when Necromorph do not simply "die" after receiving a certain number of gun rounds. In fact, depending on how they are wounded, Necromorph can adopt new stances and tactics, even sprouting new limbs or giving birth in the process. To defeat the Necromorph, Isaac must use "strategic dismemberment", the methodical severance of specific limbs or sections of the Necromorph.

In keeping with Isaac's profession as an engineer rather than a soldier, the weapons in Dead Space are mostly improvised from mining tools such as a plasma cutter, rotary saw, a hydrazine torch used as a flamethrower, and a force cannon emitting powerful shock waves. However, a triple-barreled automatic military rifle is also available. All weapons feature a unique secondary-fire mode; for example, the plasma cutter can be rotated 90 degrees for an optimal angle, and the flamethrower can set fire traps. Like in many survival-horror video games, the player must scavenge for ammunition and other various items, which are found throughout the ship or dropped by Necromorph when killed. Automated stores throughout the ship can be accessed to buy and sell items or store them for later use. Also, the player can use work benches and spend "power nodes" to upgrade Isaac's suit and weapons.

Other than weapons, Isaac is also equipped with other tools to help him survive, solve puzzles, and combat enemies more effectively. These are all contained in his suit, the RIG. Stasis can be used in the game to slow down enemies and objects temporarily, and a kinesis module allows Isaac to pick up and throw items. Dead Space also features zero gravity and decompressed environments, and Isaac can navigate through them using his pressurized suit and magnetic boots. Isaac will eventually suffocate while in a vacuum or a toxic environment as his suit can only contain a limited amount of air, so the player is forced to proceed quickly when in these situations. Also, Isaac can jump from platform to platform in weightless environments. Some levels even lead out onto the surface of the ship's hull. Floating debris presents a hazard, however, and Isaac can lose his footing and simply float off into space."

[Hygrouff73]

RE5 was a big let down. Dead Space was better in ever way. Loved it

[Adum*]

Lol, I still have to finish that game x.x

[Danny]

I have Dead Space : Extraction for the Wii Console. Finished it. It was freaking scary and crazy. Even forced myself to chop my own hand to save my own life o___o;;;;

[Nyanko]

Yeah, I wanna play extraction but I don't really like Wii.

Luckily, Dead space 2 is coming out...in 2011 :D

Oh and guiz, Isaac didn't die! WOOT.

[kuoch]

It's okay Desi, It'll all be okay. Shhhh..

[Nyanko]

Shush you bad dog.

[Danny]

LOL I am so going to buy Dead Space 2 when it comes out<3

[UglyDuckling]

oh man i was watching Pandorum last night, and it reminds me so much of this.

[Nyanko]

Me and Jose thought the same.

[UglyDuckling]

but yeah pandorum was so bad.

[Nyanko]

Yeah? Well the Dead Space movie that's going to come out is going to toss that movie in a trash can.

[kuoch]

Shhhh Desi, it'll all be okay. I'm here..

[UglyDuckling]

yeahhh ive seen the animation one. i found it funny when the blonde mutated lady like poked her head through the vent really quickly and then left haha.

[Nyanko]

I liked the red headed chicks bewbs.

But I liked the punker chick with the hawk the most. She was cool, until she got cut in half that is.

[Danny]

I watched Dead Space : Downfall. It was awesome and it was fairly gruesome. The punk rock chick was pretty hardcore till the that bastard cut her into half</3 I watched the Animated Movie first, then it made me want to play the game! I am still looking for Dead Space for the PC. It sucks so much here cause PC Games are very limited oppose to the console games.

[Nyanko]

I could send you a iso & crack for it.

[Danny]

That would be awesome if it weren't for my fail net :/ Ugh! I wish I had a better net like I used to.

[Nyanko]

Same.

It takes me 20-30 minutes to download a full game now and days when before it too only 10-15 minutes.
