Dead Space; an adventure through space hell. A alien parasitic life form has transformed the majority of crew members of the USG Ishimura into violent, monstrous mutations. Where the only hope of survival is one of the crew members, an engineer, Isaac Clarke. Conserve ammo and med-kits and attempt to repair crucial parts of the ship to find a way off it. Melee ability is limited, a weak human can only hope to knock these creatures back long enough to reload or run. They are highly resistant to normal organ damage, there weakness is dismemberment. Severing just their head isn't enough.
What is there to say? It's John Carpenter's "The Thing" in space! A surprise game from (hated) EA, a game with very good gameplay, atmosphere and storyline. I like when games make me look after things, search the web for answers etc. It was one of few games that I anxiously awaited for being released. And it sure payed off :) . Also, players of "System Shock 2" will surprisingly find a lot of similarities with that game. After all, rumors have it that this game was supposed to be "System Shock 3".
A must play for every sci-fi/horror in space/The Thing fan.
