Visceral Games brand new flagship title, Dead Space 2 has finally been released to slice up the usually quiet January period.

Be prepared to watch every possible limb be torn, ripped, cut or shot off of the evil Necromorphs who have once again made their way back into the protagonist: Isaac Clarke‘s life.

Oh Isaac is insane and has a voice now, so expect to see some more Doom 3-esque horror sequences that don’t revolve around enemies jumping out from the dark to scare the pants off you.

With that being said, don’t expect to be losing your pants at all in this game (well maybe once or twice).

As Visceral said when Dead Space 2 was announced that the sequel would focus more on action and Uncharted 2 like action scenes. And they have done just that.

Gone are the incredibly eerie and dark confinements of the Ishimura from the original game, gone (mostly) are the unique set/scripted pieces that just made you scream and finally gone are the freak-you-out moments that turn out to be nothing, and you just laugh it off…

Turn those lights back on . . .

Dead Space Review – A gorefest for the ages

Dead Space Review

It’s amazing what you can do with some darkness,

outer-space, & crazy amounts of morphed humans

Dead Space: A review about Outer Space and Aliens, perhaps 2 of the most overused concepts in video game history. They are concepts that are almost always poorly executed, always cliched, and always over the top in every way. Yet somehow EA Redwood have managed to take these 2 concepts, mix them together and craft a truly unbelievable experience.

From the opening cutscene in where you first set eyes on the huge mining vessel the Planet Cracker: USG Ishimura, on-which just about all of the game takes place, you know that you are going to be in for one heck of a disturbing and gut wrenching ride. You play as Isaac Clarke, an engineer that works for a giant mining company with various mining ships stationed throughout the galaxy.

More Dead Space horror and suspense after the jump . . .
