Im just blown away by how good this game is, the atmosphere in the game is outstanding, the graphics are amazing, the gameplay is a blast to play and the use of the lighting effects are just unmatched.

Dead space >>>>>>>>> Bioshock, gears, uncharted and so on....

Bioshock would disagree? So many other great games have come out since the beginning of the gen

This year yes, this gen no.

Bioshock is better, though I did greatly enjoy Dead Space.

I want to get it but I think I am going to wait for a price drop. I am sick of dropping $60 on games that have no mulitplayer with only 10 hours of gameplay.

That's not a new IP..

I think Bioshock is better. I love Dead Space though.

Yes indeed it is.

I mean, they both have insanely bad gameplay... =/

I can probably name like 30 new IPs that came out these gen that were way better games than Gears of War, tbh.

Dead Space was actually fun to play, unlike Bioshock. I feel Bioshock out did Dead Space in atmosphere, level design, and many other things, but playing Bioshock was a chore.

Yes. I love Dead Space. It came out of nowhere and completely blew me away. I would go as far to say that Dead Space is the best thing to come out of this generation. Honorable mentions would go the The Witcher, Crysis, Gears of War and Stalker, amongst others.

Can't say for sure because I am only on chapter 5 .... but I love it so far. It is giving me a good feeling like Uncharted did.

I'm only on the fourth chapter right now, but the game is fantastic. I'm usually not a horror game fan, but this game is like RE4 with actual scares and a good storyline. The first time I fought monsters in zero gravity was absolutely amazing...and it has some excellent surprise moments that will make you jump or just shock you with how cool they are (the tentacle...EPIC). Can't wait to play more.

Yeh Dead Space has the best atmosphere and the action is way intense, it definitely beats out alot of single player ips. All except for that Bioshock and Mass Effect both beats it in offering a better story. Overall I would say that atmospher + action: Dead Space wins, Story; Bioshock/Mass Effect Wins.

I am also on chapter five, but right now I still would say that Bioshock, Gears, and Uncharted are better new IPs.

My picks would be BioShock, Mass Effect, and Dead Space, it's hard to single one out though.

I agree, had the same feeling. I think I liked it a tad bit more than you, as I do thing it was a good game. But I think Dead Space destroys it.

its one of the best but not the best, when u have Crysis, GeoW, Resistance, Bioshock in the field its pretty hard to make a case for it against those. But I'd say its top 5 with the aforementioned outranking it.

I liked Dead Space but... It was complete ripoff of one of my favorite games. Resident Evil 4. Except it did a crappy job ripping it off. It had the exact same structure, but on a space station. Same view, but with weaker gun control. A similar upgrade system, but again, worse. Same quick action moments. It even thew in a very similar regenerating enemy partway through. I liked the game, but I've been a big fan of Ridley Scott's Alien and Carpenter's The Thing my entire life. They were virtually the blueprint for Dead Space. Oh, and Dreamcast called. They want their copy of Blue Stinger back.

Off topic: Blue stinger was such a different game. If anything it was more like the old REs in the control schemes, monsters, and style of gameplay, but i must admit i enjoyed playing it even tho it wasnt that good of a game. it also seemed extremely long as well.

On topic: Dead space is nothing like blue stinger, and while it borrows heavily from other games and movies its great then the sum of its parts. Plus the whole setting is really spectacular and sets it self apart from other survival horror games because of its setting.

Ooh.. honestly, I'd forgotten about The Witcher, yeah. Crysis and Bioshock were both derivative enough from the previous 'spiritual ancestors' that I have a hard time considering them really new IPs.

Dead Space is pretty awesome so far, although Crysis is still top in my book.

Ooh.. honestly, I'd forgotten about The Witcher, yeah. Crysis and Bioshock were both derivative enough from the previous 'spiritual ancestors' that I have a hard time considering them really new IPs.

So, somehow a completely new cast of characters, new storyline, kind of same setting, but not, and new gameplay mechanics(Crysis at least) make it somehow connected to the first one enough to say it's not a new IP?

Gee, you could say that Bayonetta isn't a new IP because it has the same type of fighting as Devil May Cry with that logic.
