Dead Space

Looking for a fright this Halloween weekend? I know some of you will go watch a scary movie; some will dress as their favorite character and haunt the town; but some will just cower in their room and study Physic even on a friday night (you know who you are) ;p.

However, the best way to get scared for me is by playing an immersive horror game. And just in time for the Halloween came Dead Space. A new sci-fi/horror/survival game by EA. How good is it? Well, a couple of trusted reviewers gave it a 100% and some even dub it the best survival horror game of all time. I thought that that was a bold statement, until I played it myself and , boy, scary just doesn't cut it.

Dead Space takes place in an abandon space ship. When a repair ship was sent to investigate a distress signal from and old mining rig, they never expect they need more than a screwdriver to survive here. The creatures are intelligent and will use tricks to fool you into their traps; like playing dead among the corpses, and suddenly lunging at you. They are also hard to kill and the only effective method is to cut the feet and arm so they cant move.

Seriously, if you think your brave enough. Take on this game. I guarantee that you'll jump from you seats a couple of times during the game. And remember the motto:
In space, nobody can hear you scream

Here is one of those scary moment:
