Dead Space... which... well it suffers the same faults as many video games. It manages to deliver some solid design with it's clunky industry age like high tech world, quite horrifying monster design (especially the freakish infant mutants with strange tentacles...) and I suppose a passable setting. The story is however... bad, the shiny side of the disc actually inspires more emotional resonance then any of the games characters and the feeble attempts at twists are just embarassing to endure (coming from someone who almost never sees twists coming).
The actual combat is fun and satisfying, though I don't feel like an engineer I feel more like some sort of lethal unshakable special ops agent that was undercover as an engineer... I should look like Steven Seagal and also have a part time job as a cook.
I felt it was good enough to play through and on the harder difficulties pretty tense... as you slink around praying to whatever Sci-Fi gods there are to not throw anymore zombie like creatures at you until you can scrounge up some more ammo... and then inveitably running like hell when the aforementioned Sci-Fi gods totally stiff you ... the fuckers.
Default difficulty was a slight bit to easy, you can assail hordes of creepy looking monsters without enough threat to really scare you.
Definetly passable though.
