Dead Space vs Mass Effect
Dead Space
Dead Space may not supposed to be much of a horror game at first (it was touted as a thriller mainly), but it certainly ended up that way. Featuring a third-person shooter gameplay, the game casts you in the role of Isaac Clarke, an engineer in a massive spaceship stranded in space that's falling apart at the seams. That's not all, the ship is filled with hideous Necromorph monsters - alien-infected crew members - that just love to jump out at you at the most unconvenient moments, startling you at every chance it gets from seemingly every vent, collapsed ceiling, cracked floor etc... well, literally the full 360-degrees. The game can be a tad bit linear but that is exactly what enabled the developers to control almost every aspect of the game from start to finish even with you in it, giving you scares that will make you jump in your seat... and sometimes out of it.Dead Space made its name as one of the most thrilling shooter game that guarantees to slowly but surely drag you into its incredibly immerse and terrifying world. If you love a game that has both action and a generous dose of scariness, Dead Space is the game you'll want to play.
Mass Effect
Mass Effect is a science-fiction-themed where you play as the charismatic leader of an elite squad of three, Commander Shepard, as you set off on an epic adventure across the galaxy to save your civilization and to put an end to the traitorous Saren and his army, or if you're playing the free DLC, the Batarians. Ranging from the character customization to its incredibly-intriguing, open-ended storyline, Mass Effect offers a depth that hasn't been seen before at the time of its release in 2008. You can actually build or destroy relationships with your team members in the game by choosing a dialogue option during conversations as well. Being a space-themed game, you'll even get to explore the vast galaxy and search for crucial minerals on potentially mineral-rich planets.The gameplay in Mass Effect may not be as great as other games of its generation but it's good enough to help carry the game's amazing narrative forward. If you enjoy a good sci-fi story and RPG, Mass Effect is a game you simply mustn't miss out!
