Dead Space 2
Dead Space 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to Dead Space, a thrilling third person shooter that is guaranteed to give you a scare.

In fact, you could say that Dead Space 2 simply offers more of the same experience you'd get from the first game... with the exception of the storyline - the plot in this game is definitely different from the former.Many critics and fans of the game bemoaned this fact, and as much as they would like to love the sequel, Dead Space 2 had been quite a disappointment to many of them. However, if you'd like to enjoy an "extended version of the first original Dead Space game" a.k.a. this game, you'll be in for a treat. If not, you might want to skip this one altogether and get Dead Space 3 instead.
