-Dead Space...A Game Review-

     So, I've never been compelled to give a game review before, but I think I will this time.
     I recently picked up "Dead Space" for the PS3. Now, I've haven't really played any first person shooters since Doom 3 (well...I guess you couldn't call Dead Space "first person" because it's a 3rd person, over the should perspective, but you get my drift). I was starting to find them boring, and was just concentrating on Wii games. But I had been reading some reviews about DS, and watched some cinematics of it on YouTube, and it looked pretty cool, so I picked it up.
     All I gotta say is, wow. The game graphics are just beautiful. You really get sucked into the environments. Just as equally beautiful are the sounds. This is definitely one of the most tension filled games I've played, and the sound effects really shine here. The creature designs are awesome. Some pretty twisted stuff. What's equally twisted, is that in order to kill these things, you have to dismember them limb by limb, which is extremely fun I must say. The story is pretty good also. Nothing really out of this world. And the voice over actors do a good job.
     All in all, this is one of the better games I've played in a quite some time. In a world filled with fps and survival horror games, this one definitely shines at the present moment.
