An 87 average from 1,257 ratings: not perfect, but the kind of game people keep recommending anyway. Horror that commits — science fiction atmosphere, real dread, and scares that aren't cheap. Best experienced alone, preferably with nowhere to be.

About this game

Dead Space is a 2008 science fiction survival horror video game developed by EA Redwood Shores (now Visceral Games) for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game was released on all platforms through October 2008. The game puts the player in control of an engineer named Isaac Clarke, who battles the Necromorphs, reanimated human corpses, aboard an interstellar mining ship, the USG Ishimura.

Engineer Isaac Clarke is dispatched on a repair mission to the USG Ishimura, a mining vessel suffering a communications blackout. Isaac, accompanied by Chief Security Officer Zach Hammond, and Computer Specialist Kendra Daniels, become stranded on a seemingly derelict ship, where a newborn horror awaits them.
