DaveOK, let´s start this review with a quick question: What is the first thing that comes to mind when you read the words 'Survival Horror'? I'm willing to bet it is either of these: Silent Hill or Resident Evil. The truth is, whilst a...

While it won’t win any prizes for originality, Dead Space sets a new standard for survival horror games. Although it borrows heavily from ‘Alien’ and ‘The Thing’, its intense gameplay, while not for the faint of heart or...
