I've seen some gory games before, but this is by far one of the goriest games I've ever seen in my entire life.

And it's fucking AWESOME.

I might consider getting it. Whether to get it for the 360 or PC is a whole different story entirely...

Not just that man...there's this thing they have implemented called "strategic dismemberment"...you have to shoot off certain limbs in order to kill it, otherwise it keeps coming to you.

Plus, throw in Zero G environments and you've got one hell of a game.

The players must fight their way through various levels of a stricken mining ship, which has been infested with an alien species known as the 'Necromorphs'. The game features an 'over the shoulder' third-person perspective, similar to games such as Resident Evil 4 and Gears of War. The interface does not feature a traditional 'heads up display'. Instead, information is relayed to the player via lights and translucent screens which hover over Isaac's weapons and armor.

The player will encounter weightless and decompressed environments, which Isaac can navigate using a pressurized suit equipped with magnetic boots. Some levels will even lead out onto the surface of the ship's hull. Floating debris will present a hazard, and Isaac can lose his footing and simply float off into space. In keeping with Isaac's profession as an engineer rather than a soldier, weapons in the game are mostly improvised, and consist of an array of bolt cutters, stasis guns and rudimentary energy weapons.

Combat in the game is complicated by the fact that Necromorphs are not simply rendered 'dead' after a certain number of rounds have been fired at them. Rather, they must be Dismembered a certain way to be dead, but they can adopt new stances and tactics, and even sprout new limbs, based upon where they have been wounded. The game's Executive Producer, Glen Schofield, has said that 'the primary theme of Dead Space is dismemberment', and early previews of the game have noted the high levels of gore.

Don't tell me that doesn't sound badass!

This takes gore to a whole new level. Looks good, but I never did like the over the shoulder camera angle. Found it kind of annoying when you're backed up in a corner.

qft - it looks a little boring tbh - same enemies, same weapons, same methods of killing the enemies etc.

And what do you mean by a new level of gore? I thought it was shit. @_@

Yep. Mods count be interesting for it as well, but I don't exactly know what to expect.

So...he has a gun that makes them stand there?

Looks actually alright, armor looks pretty odd, but an alright game none the less, third-person FPS FTW

A "stasis" gun, IIRC.

The reason his armor looks funny is because he's supposed to be an erngineer. It's also designed to allow him to walk in Zero G (Magnets in his boots) and walk OUTSIDE THE HULL OF THE SHIP. However, if he gets hit by debris floating by, he loses his balance and drifts into space.
