AVP or Dead Space?

I'm stuck between getting the first Dead Space or the upcoming AVP. I want to know which one is more likely to be scarier, have better graphics, more hours of gameplay(single player only), and is going to be overall just more fun. After looking back on dead space i thought it looked like a good game which is why im considering it now. Does anyone know if it has good replay value?

P.S.- Can anyone tell me if the AVP marine's weapons will have gun zoom.(Where you look down the sights like in COD4)

well avp is more so an online game were dead space is a single player only game,, i didnt really find dead space tobe that scary tho,, it is probably cheap now tho..

I'd wait for reviews on AVP as it could be hit or miss. However, dead space is a great game and is pretty cheap so it's worth checking out.

Also, for future reference check out the recommendations thread for any what game should I get questions.:)

I'd get AvP. Dead Space is an awesome game, but Im too scared to complete it:P

Get Dead Space. That game is phenomenal. You'd be doing yourself a favor by getting it as soon as possible.

You won't get much replay value out of Dead Space. I only played it 3 times until I unlocked all the achievements for the 360. If you can buy it used and cheap for around $20 then I'd say get it, but if you can't get it cheap then don't bother.

It's a great game, but at this point since you don't have it, it's really not worth the full price to buy it.

The last truly great game that had a lot of replay value with no online was RE4 IMO, a game so great that I bought it on both the GC and PS2 and beat it over 20 times combined on each system. I don't know what made me love RE4 so much considering I shared a lot of sympathies with hardcore RE fans who didn't like the new mechanics to the game, but I couldn't denounce RE4 based on my love of the old school RE games because I loved the game so much.

Dead Space is a great game. Its sort of where RE should go if Capcom wants it to be an action game. Not this in between limbo that RE5 was. wstfld

RE5 wasn't a bad game, but it was very disappointing compared to my experience I had with RE4. I have some hopes for the DLC though due out soon, unfortunately I'm a long time RE fan, have been for 12 years so I'll buy anything RE, even if I know it sucks. However I didn't buy Outbreak 2 after I realized Outbreak sucked too much for me too handle.

I even bought Dead Aim for God's sake, but my standards were high enough not to buy Survivor.

Well obviously, let's see where Dead Space 5 is 12 years from now, I doubt it will retain the same atmosphere as the first game.

AVP hasn't even came out yet so... yeah. Dead Space is a good game though.

Yeah, he should get it if he can get it that cheaply. There's no reason not too. If it's more $30 though, I'd pass on it. I bet the 360 version is cheaper than the PS3 version. So if you can get it for the 360, then I would. I'm not a fanboy and wouldn't want someone wasting their money, though I haven't played my 360 for probably 6 months now due to the fact the PS3 has been cranking out some great games lately.

Dead Space. If you've got a good home theater system, that game is awesome!Canvas_Of_Flesh
