Dipswitch: On Edge

I'm really glad alien decided to pen this weeks comic having to do with Dead Space, as I have been literally steeped in the title for the past week.

I have played a lot of games in my time, so I'd put my judgment up against anyone's when it comes to whether a game is good or not. When it was still warm outside, and the sun was up until after 7 PM, I began to examine the coming holiday catalog, and plan out what I was going to be plunking my money down on. Dead Space was pretty far down on the list, mostly because the initial media I had viewed on the title was pretty underwhelming. I felt it would fall somewhere between decent, and totally over-hyped garbage, and pretty much forgot about it. I'd like to thank whatever force drove me to pick up the title when it arrived in mid-October, because I would be kicking myself at this point if I hadn't.

Dead Space is simply superb. I won't go too much into it, (review coming soon at Playitreviewit), but what I will say is, if you do not have a weak heart, and you are not absolutely opposed to third person shooters, you must play this game. There is a very good chance that I could crown this title my Game of the Year (although that probably would only happen if Gears 2 is a total turd). Everything about Dead Space exudes quality, intensity, and gore. It will leave you absolutely on edge until the last second, coupled with some of the best production values I've seen in a title before.

Buy the game, read the comic, enjoy it, you will not be disappointed.

For everyone who has doubted EA, and said that they make recycled crap, Dead Space is an enormous F U.

What are you waiting for?
