Sci-fi, horror and gaming, that’s a combination that really works… Dead Space combines all three of these to form an excellent and exciting game that will keep you enthralled for quite some time. Admittedly, the game can get scary at times. Dead Space is a blistering experience of lashing tentacles infused with a gory gash of a ripper blade. Aside from the string of alien guts and limbs you’ll be leaving behind you, little finishing touches are what really make this game shine.

I found DeadSpace to be one of the more fun titles this year. Up to this very moment, NVIDIA graphics cards dominate this game's performance. ATI is catching up fast though.
