The Art Of Fright

Patrick of GAMElitist.com - "As much as we might not like admitting to it, most of us love being scared. It’s the whole reason that there is a horror genre, but not a lot of people know why we get scared or at least have rarely questioned what differentiates a good scare from a great scare."

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis13h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

It's worth a play through today.

EA Shoots Down Dead Space 2 Remake Rumors: 'No Validity to This Story'

EA has shut down rumors that EA Motive considered a Dead Space 2 remake before shelving it due to low sales of the previous game, saying there's "no validity" to the reports.

XiNatsuDragnel14d ago

Sure.... right.... at least remake dead space 3 w/o microtransactions bs.

XiNatsuDragnel12d ago

I sometimes I wished I didn't Ngl lol

Knightofelemia13d ago

Why not remake DS2 whether shot down or not it's still my favorite game next to DS1. As much as I hate EA I would buy or would have bought DS2 day one.

MeteorPanda13d ago

No validity XD "Guys guys, we cant possible make a good game or cater to the gamers wants, stop"

I don't know if sales met their expectations or not. I just know that the high review scores received my attention so I was interested in buying it, but its price stayed high (50+ bucks) for so long that I simply never bothered picking it up.

Tacoboto13d ago

Doesn't pay full price
Doesn't pay *any* price
Ponders if sales met expectations regarding an allegedly canceled sequel.

Gee...

Yi-Long12d ago

Well, for starters, I'm sure there are plenty of games I never bought which did, somehow, still, meet their sales-expectations.

Concerning Dead Space; I never played and thus cared for the original. It's in multiple genres (shooter, sci-fi, horror) I don't particularly care about so it was barely on my radar pre-launch. I was never its target-audience.

When reviews hit, and it was scoring big, it gathered my interest, so while it wasn't in my field of interest, it mrans that I wanted to give it a fair shot and at least give it a try, as I do with many games across different genres; I tend to just cherry-pick the good stuff and see if it's for me or not.

But, I do wait for sales on those games I take a risk on.

Lol, you are a huge part of the problem. If a very high-quality game is not even worth 50 bucks to you, then what is?

13 Years Later, Dead Space 2 Is Still A Perfect Video Game

Nameer from eXputer: "Dead Space 2 is a sequel that delivers such a feast that by the time you're done, you're not only full but also satisfied."

Aaroncls733d ago

It was amazing. All 3 DS games game solid for me, but 2 was special.

hombreacabado33d ago

i can do without ds3 but the first two are solid.

mariopasta33d ago

Hope they remake this one too. Just like they did with number 1. The remake of Dead Space 1 was perfection

Terry_B33d ago

thanks to the digital pass for it it was not perfect..in fact its difficult to find a working copy since many years.
