Past games (actually the ONLY ones I could think of) range from the blaverage – Link's Crossbow Training, to the atmospheric – Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, to the whorey fun – House of the Dead: Overkill. Dead Space Extraction (DSE) steps forward, not trying to best 2008's Dead Space but rather showing a different side to the events on and around the USG Ishimura."

So it’s my duty to introduce you to the best Dead Space games, and one very, very bad one. It’s time to grab a plasma cutter, cut off the limbs of terrifying necromorphs, and decide once and for all (on this website) which of the Dead Space games reigns supreme!"
I played all three. Didn't find them fun, just had nothing to play. I don't think I beat third game though. Combat was super clunky, graphics and art design were ugly imo, story in first game wasn't too bad, rest were meh.
Over hyped series imo, also it doesn't help horror games don't scare me, so I guess that's a big reason for me too.
Just finished playing the first, enjoyed the fact Isaac was a silent alien crushing psycho doom-guy type. Just started the second yesterday and I'm annoyed he's a talker now and sounds like a regular guy who hasn't been through hell, but I suppose he couldn't remain silent.
Dead Space 2 is my favorite followed by 1 then 3. All are good to me though. Just beat all 3 on series X and they hold up.
This week the Link Cable Gaming crew gets all dressed up in their finest Halloween garb to discuss their favorite horror and even just spooky games in a special Halloween episode!
The decision to close the studio and shift the focus of the Star Wars game is not a statement about the future for single-player games, EA says.
"'This was just a single-player game [and it] needed to be a live service.'"
What kind of a stupid mindset is that? It didn't need to be a damn live service. Single player games can work and you have the damn Star Wars name attached to it so it will sell well regardless of it having MP or not.
How can you say this.
"We are seeing an evolution in the marketplace, and it became clear to us that to deliver an experience that players wanted to come back and enjoy for a long time, that we needed to pivot the design."
And then say this in the very next paragraph.
"It wasn't about, 'This was just a single-player game [and it] needed to be a live service."
I would say "do they really think people are this stupid?" But since people keep buying EA games after all the crap they have done over the years and decades that made gaming worse... I guess, yes, yes they are.
i think 9/10 is a bit high for this game. I've owned it for less than 10 hours and i'm already on chapter 7, i think there's 10 chapters in the game? It's pretty mindless to be honest. The story is intriguing but the game is so shaky and it's honestly not that much fun to play. Mainly because the original dead space is such a better game/experience. This game is alright. I'd give it a 7.5.
I still say umbrella chronicles is the best rails shooter on the wii, and i really don't see how extraction is very different from UC. Some people are making extraction out to be this genre bending game but it's just an on rails shooter, plain and simple. Sure it's story driven but so is UC and even House of the dead (even though the story is crap).
