Dead Space - A Genuinely Scary Xbox 360 Game

There have been loads of horror style games out over the years, some really scary - like the Resident Evil Series. And some that I never really got into. Silent Hill, for example, is a pretty cool series of games but I always got bored opening and testing all those locked doors.

At the moment I'm playing through Dead Space, a sort of mix of Aliens, Resident Evil and The Thing. I didn't think that the idea of being in a ship with mutated human aliens sounded particularly frightening, and I'm a hardended horror film goer, but it really is an unnerving game.

I'd read a lot of reviews that said it had a great atmosphere but you really have to experience this for yourself. It's SUPER CREEPY. You're walking around this ship, with loads of eerie noises, and then something will jump out and start screaming at you. It's nerve-shredding but it's also a lot of fun.

You can get this game pretty cheap now at game and other stores, especially if you don't mind a used version. But definitely give it a try. It's one of the best Xbox 360 games I've played. And probably as good as Resident Evil 4 - which was brilliant.
