I really, really, really hope Dead Space 2 doesn't become too diluted of a sequel since Glen Schofield left for Activision. I know it's just one man gone from the team, but he played such an influential role in Dead Space's creation. #horror

Dead Space is pretty much the only game that has scared me in the past five years.

Doom 3 is pretty scary too in the beginning, but once you become a beefcake with tons of weapons the threat of danger kind of leaves the game.

Can't wait to play DS: Extraction, and can't wait for DS2 either. #horror

I am a huge fan of survival horror games because by their very nature they almost have to play with interesting issues like the incarnation of the characters (in the most etymological sense: their flesh), fantasies, psychosis, etc. Yet, where Pachter see a boom, I see a bust. The last survival horror game worthy of interest was Siren: Blood Curse / New Translation (more than a year ago) and it was probably the worst in the serie. Before that we need to go as far back as 2005 with the amazing Fatal Frame / Project Zero 3: The Tormented.

But - who knows? - maybe that Silent Hill remake will not completely shatter our memories and Alan Wake will manage to both get released and not blow...

It's sad to admit but I haven't played Dead Space. It's going for cheap at the moment but when I find a job, I might pick it up.

Is it any good? #horror

@Phaper: YES. I still consider it worth the $60 I shelled out for it the month it came out. #horror

@Phaper: One of the best games I played this generation, along with Arkham Asylum. The gameplay is very polished and immersive. Definitely recommended, and I don't even like horror games. #horror

@Showmeyomoves!: Another vote of `go buy it` for yout list Phaper. It was a great ride while it lasted, and of all the games in my collection it is still the one I look at and think `WHOA... that was wild...` Puts the other wanna-be survival horror franchises to shame really. #horror

There's nothing scary about Left 4 Dead or Resident Evil though. They just have zombies. They're action movie analogues. #horror

@orijimi:

Then you didn't play Left 4 Dead the first two weeks the game was out with three other people who were as clueless about where to go and what to do as you were.

Until we got it down to a science and made it routine, running and gunning through the levels, it was scary as FUCK and it was not uncommon to hear your friends scream like little girls into the headsets or panicked 'Save me save me save me save me!' as a hunter was eating you. #horror
