Dead Space looks like a Monster of a Game
Dead Space is now out for the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360 and will also be released for the PC in less than a week. From watching the latest trailers and following the avalanche of promotion surrounding this well publicized game I must say I am impressed.
I’m really looking forward to playing this game in a couple days as it’s definitely in the running for game of the year from the few reviews i have read so far.
Story Outline
Set in the distant future, Dead Space revolves around Isaac Clarke, a space engineer who works for the Concordance Extraction Corporation (C.E.C), a company that operates “giant mining ships” throughout the galaxy. His company receives a distress call from the USG Ishimura, a “Planet Cracker” class ship that destroys planets in order to extract valuable ore. Assuming that a mechanical failure is the only problem, Isaac and two other C.E.C employees set out to rendezvous with the Ishimura. However, they discover that the ship has been overrun by Necromorphs, a hostile alien race dependent upon necrotic flesh. Separated from his party, Isaac must survive the Necromorph infestation and battle his way to safety through the Ishimura’s various environments.
