I was planning on passing this game by, because I’m not a fan of first / third person shooters. With the way everyone was raving about it, however, I figured I wouldn’t be much of a reviewer if I didn’t check it out. Turns out it was a wise decision on my part. I’m still not planning on jumping up and down for joy the next time a big FPS gets released, but this particular outing has been well worth my while. Much like Half Life for the PC, Dead Space proves that an interesting story can turn an FPS into much more than a “run and blast” experience. The horror element of the whole thing doesn’t hurt, either.
