Dead Space is my horror game. The atmosphere is so visceral (harr) and suffocating that you are never allowed to feel comfortable. If the game let's up, you will be punished for taking a breath as soon as you step into the next room. Not by relentless action, but the atmosphere. God, I swear the sound design in this game series is by far my favorite of all time. The first game made whispers of the effects relentless terror can have on the mind, both the protagonist and player, but DS2 fucking hammers you with hallucinations, helpless paranoia and guilt ridden psychosis... And lots of screaming violins. I LOVE DEAD SPACE. For me, its everything RE was for me as a kid, but with a critical focus on doom.
... And then there is the art direction. Don't even get me started.
My only gripe with this game would be that there seems to be only two character models for the "agents". This was glaringly evident by the time I made it through the london underground, having fought through droves of the same guy with or without hair.
Also, the "grabbers" in co-op. PISS ME OFF.
This would have sold like gangbusters if it had Move support as it should have. I honestly bought it cause I've got PS+ and it was ten doll hairs. I don't know about anyone else, but I've dropped that much on worse ways to spend my time.

Legends or GTFO.
