Dead Space
So, other than Davey has anyone bought this?
I almost caved today, but bought FarCry 2 instead because I know Davey has Dead Space and kindly offered a loan, so I thought I'd reciprocate the favour and offer FarCry 2 upon completion. From what I've seen of Dead Space it looks stunning, and I REALLY do fancy it. I've heard it's worse than Condemned, but oddly Condemned didn't really get me and I'm awful with the scaries, so don't understand why it never freaked me. Being alone in Space however... that sounds scary. So, has anyone else bought it and if so, what do you think?

It's fantastic, best game I've played for some time. The only downside is the length of the game, lots of people clocking in at around 10 hours and judging by my save file I'll probably be around that time when I get it done.
I don't have a bad thing to say about the game though, it's just quality right from the beginning. |

10 hours is a good length though. It stops a game from becoming repetative and essentially ruining the experience. Max Payne 2 was 6-8 hours but I loved it so much because it maintained it's original story path without repetition, all too often games start to become a grind.
However, I am now annoyed having bought 3 games out today and not having this. Not heard a bad thing yet... Bugger.

 I can really only echo what Wyrdo has said, it's just quality from the start. Graphically sublime, it creates a wonderful atmosphere in that you know something is about to jump out and try to eat your face, but you don't know when or where it'll happen. It keeps you on edge because it'll throw you by giving you obvious rooms for creatures to be, then have them not appear. Just when you think you're safe, out something pops. It's very much Resident Evil 4 in space though. There are a rather large number of similarities in the games, from the way you can upgrade your weapons, to making you upgrade your suit to give you more space to store things (like RE4 and the briefcase). In fact, if the game had herbs in it you could pass it off as Resident Evil: Space or something like that. Not that I'm complaining though, Resi 4 is in my top 10 games of all time so I won't complain about it being similar at all

Everything Dino Crisis 3 should have been then?
I saw on the PS3 front cover that PSW magazine said it's taken the mantle from Resident Evil 4, so it's obviously quite widely thought of for being like it, which is no bad thing as you say, but if it's better it could well be the surprise hit of the year.

Not that that is a bad thing, i liked doom 3 lol
