No problem, the game is really that good. I agree, Doom 3 was a really good game that had some real creepy parts. I can't say I like any other doom game but Doom 3 was awesome. Also, I do not know where the confusion came from but I do not have Far Cry 2 nor any other unreleased game. All I said was that we are all going to be dropping down some cash on all these new games coming out but I do not have them yet so I am not sure how people thought I meant I already have those games. Out of all the new games, I was surprised because I did't even know about Dead Space until 2 days before it came out and then i saw the video and was hooked. Last but not least, someone made a comment as to why it was scary. It isn't really the monsters (well maybe the bosses) but its more of the dark environments, sound, and music. There are some parts in the game where the lights go completely out and you are there in the dark, it's crazy but very cool. You can use the light from your weapon but it isn't all that bright so be prepared for something to jump out at you. I guarantee, if you play this game at night, turn up the sound and turn off the lights, you will get creeped out!

I never write reviews. I actually set up this account just to review this game. I am an older gamer (mid 30's). I can take you back to the old Tandy days and the orginal sega and nintendo platforms. I have seen them all when it comes to games and gaming. I grew up to horror games and I can only recall a few games that gave me the creeps while playing them. The orginal Resident Evil, Doom 3, the first Condemned, and now Dead Space. Yes, there were a few games along the way that had a few creepy parts but nothing like these four games. Silent Hill was ok but didn't creep me out that much.
Dead Space is amazing. I don't know why everyone is comparing this game to other games but the only game I can even come close to comparing it to is Doom 3. Doom 3 was creepy and very dark (you actually go to Hell in the game) but Dead Space takes the cake. The first day I bought it, I took it home and it was around 11pm. I popped it in and I had the lights off and turn the surround sound on. I knew and heard it may be creepy but I think with the dark lighting and the sounds and music really make this game stand out. You really become careful about going around a corner too fast. You even walk slower and listen carefully to noises. After about a hour of playing I actually cut my sound down and turned on the dim lighting in the room. I wasn't really scared that something was in my house or anything but it gives you the feeling that you are really there in that game. (Especially with no HUD) I didn't even plan on buying this game until 2 days before it came out. I also bought Saint's Row 2 and it sucks in my opinion. I don't even play it much. Dead Space is awesome. Yeah it has it's flaws. Some of the monsters seem repetative and look the same but it does't take away from the game at all. I know we are all going to go broke this Fall and Winter with all the games coming out but this is one you do not want to miss. Get it!
