Dead Space blatantly rips off some of this generation’s most popular action/sci-fi/horror movies, but that’s just part of its charm.

For all major movie releases, a video game has to be rushed out for it. Although these games are often rushed, underbudgeted and not worth playing, they do sell decently.

So having video games that are a more gripping cinematic experience (even if that means homaging the occasional few movies) isn’t really a bad thing.

Its about time for Hollywood to step out of the lime light. More games should be given hollywood treatment, big budgets, big star voice actors, big releases. The world would be a better (if not more out of shape) place.
