yeah, i've watched those animated comics from xbl store. gotta love Ben Templesmith (30 days of night).

made me more curious about the game, really. but i dun think i'll buy it when it comes out. wait for 2nd hand.

so who ever is going to buy this game, if you are thinking of selling it later, try PM me.

This game would be nice if they concentrated on developing the story and gameplay of the game rather than inputting multiplayer perspectives into it.
Look at how BioShock turn out to be is proof.

Updated the 5th animated comic video.
Creepiness!!

Well, Warren Ellis had a bit of hand in the storyline. would be nice to see how that turns out.

Metacritic of 90 so far http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/deadspace

Definitely a sleeper hit , especially by EA .. !

I'm buying it from gh...tonite or tmrw when it's out Looks fawesome

Another game that imma get for mah pc

So is it as scary as they say?

My standards of scary are pretty much Eternal Darkness.

Eternal darkness... when you try to swat a virtual fly off the screen... you've been playing too much!

Awesome gruesome detail!! Thumbs up from me

Issit in at GH yet?

tomorrow

GameSpot review of Dead Space is out!
Kindly refer to here for the review.
For the lazy ones, the game scored a might 9.0

time to perform strategic dismemberment!!

Wow, didn't know EA makes horror games! Cool trailer especially the twinkle2 song....

From what i hear, one of the more refreshing parts is that beheading the baddies isnt what kills them. in the end, you have to take out the limbs.

Oh well, we'll see how this one turns out.

Not a game to be played
alone... at night... a dark and stormy night.. when your wife likes to scare you just because you told her NOT to!

there's this overall silence in the ship.. no sounds other than the enemies crawling around scraping metal.. knocking over stuff all over the ship, but you can't see them!

then there's the play of shadows, more than once I jumped when I thought I saw the shadow outline of an enemy behind me!

and then.. the cutting of limbs.. yes.. very important... shooting their heads just seem to piss them off but at least they can't bite you without a head. comparatively shooting their limbs might kill them quicker cause it seems to cause MASSIVE DAMAGE!! took out one before but just severing it's left arm.

right now ammo is scare, when i realized that the inventory shows how many BULLETS you have instead of clips.. then you go oh oh. and realize that you've only picked up 12 SHOTS instead of CLIPS. then you waste 10 of them on a guy shambling towards you. Then you see his 2 friends. Oh shit!

Luckily you have a melee attack, which does ok damage and is able to kill the enemies. But Isaac isn't a sup'ed up marine, his swing is wide and slow, so you have to time it properly. also.. if you swing meets the wall you'll hit hit and be thrown back a bit.

too bad i'm busy at work so I couldn't play too much.

Added on October 15, 2008, 11:24 amoh yeah.. as for movement and controls

- more devil may cry than resident evil tank like, BUT.. I guess the suit is heavy so issac turns a bit slow.

for aiming
- good : like RE4 there's a laser sight attached to the weapon so you can see what you're gonna chop off. for the default weapon you can also choose to fire the cutting shot vertically (for shooting enemy's arms off when they spread their arms and ask you for a hug) or horizantallly (for chopping their legs off, or when they wave hello at you)
- bad : like RE4 the darn enemies DUCK, so when you have a good shot TAKE it!
