Dead Space is Resident Evil 4.... In space.
Why!?
Cause everything is cooler in space

lol
No, but seriously this game is hands down amazing. Once i picked the controller up and the game started i was hooked in. The story pulls you in from the start and giving you a good scare in the first 10 minutes

. The reason i mention Resident Evil 4 is that, like resident evil 4, you rely on your weapons a lot. But other than that i feel the combat in dead space is much better and way more fun. The story is also the most engaging story in video game history(At Least IMO). I mean if you love Science Fiction, you will love this game. You can see the influences from Sci-Fi classics like Aliens and such. I just love it and it is defiantly in my top 10 favorite games of all time. Now for you survival horror freaks, this game has plenty of moments where you are scared as shit. Not only that, but the atmosphere really gets to you. If your a claustrophobic person, as i am, you will be freaking out in this game! The atmosphere is wonderful and it itself could make a great game. The Story will also take many twists and turns as you go, especially in the last two chapters of the game. I mean god damn! Once you think everything is good and nothing bad will happen. Boom! Everything that couldnt go wrong, goes wrong. Everything you think couldnt happen, happens! Its mind explosive. I probobly haven't mentioned the puzzle involvement in the game and such. Its just SO amazing. You have to get it! No excuses. You can't call yourself a science fiction fan 'till you've played this game!
