About a year and a half ago ago I bought the first Dead Space used in the bargain bin, looking to kill some time. I wasn't expecting to, but I personally really enjoyed the first Dead Space. It wasn't very scary, nor did it have a very original plot, but it functioned very well with above average mechanics and fantastic graphics. I was very surprised by the first game in the series and I hope that developer Visceral Games, who's most recent release drew much of my ire, will take the burgeoning Dead Space franchise to the next level.
Regardless, the box art looks pretty friggin' cool.
