Description
In the future, Earth's appetite for resources has become a major motivator for deep space exploration. Immense, privately-owned and operated mining ships called "planetcrackers" orbit planets and use sophisticated equipment to carve out entire city-sized chunks of rock, and reduce them to component elements and raw ore.
Communications with one of these planetcrackers, the USG Nishimura, have ceased while the ship is engaged in deep space mining operations. The company's top engineer, Isaac Clarke, is sent to discover the problem and fix it. Once onboard the vessel, Clarke discovers that a terrifying alien presence has taken over the ship, and has horribly killed the crew. Weaponless and terrified, this lone engineer is burdened with much more than simple survival-- he holds the fate of all mankind in his hands.

"Tense"
VERY good survival horror game.
For the first few levels you'll find you can only just kill an enemy, barely scraping by on ammo and health, but after a few hours of gaming you'll get access to some major equipment upgrades, leveling you from a scared little bot to a rambo style killer, although in saying that you aren't invincible, especially when stronger enemies like the Brute come in, a giant Slicer that just won't die. The game is quite scary to start with, but it gradually moves on to being very tense rather than frightening, although it still has some major scares. Definately a must buy, one of the best games available on the PS3 & Xbox360.

"Perfect"
This game Is amazing, I was a bit weary at first, but this game is a welcome addition to the very small thriller genre. The story is well played out, and the first play through will give you jumps. The graphics are top notch, the gore is so life like, and I like how they sort of based the game from the movie event horizon. I would recommend to anyone who has a PS3.

"Nappy-changingly good."
Yup, this game will have you fudging your huggies in no time. This game has crisp visuals that assault your senses as soon as the game begins.
A good survival horror game is made by sound and DS does well here. As you play, you can here monsters clanging around in vents and steel crashing as the ship you are on falls apart. The controls are very easy to use, and a function that lights up the correct path ahead of you is great in the maze of corridors you have to travel through. At the beginning of the game, ammo is scarce which will provide a challenge for more hardcore gamers. You will find yourself cycling through your empty weapons before you resort to pummeling the juice out of the alien in front of you. Buy this:)

"Spooky, Awesome, Love it!"
Recommended by my friend to play so I brought I Dead Space, I must say it is one of the best games I have played in a long time! The story line and the cut scenes are good, weapons are great and the Aliens are amazing. Very spooky in parts, enough to scare the pants off of you. Sound is awesome so play it loud with good surround speakers. If you are wanting a good horror/sci-fi/alien game get Dead Space now!
