Infected corpses – in classic zombie horror fashion – get to work making more corpses to infect. The Ishimura is a 'planet cracker', a massive space vessel that uses gravity warping technology to pull tectonically large sections of a planetoid free for resource processing.When you arrive, however, you find that the latest planet-crack has unleashed a nightmarish infection that transforms humans into Necromorphs, hideous monsters created from human corpses. Ishimura as part of a rescue and repair operation. You, Isaac Clarke – space engineer – are sent to the U.S.G. And the original Dead Space (developed by EA Redwood Shores in 2008) dropped the player into just such a situation. Zombies (or some setting-appropriate variant) tend to be the chief antagonists, and resources are limited - making combat not something to rush into headlong, but something to be planned for and even avoided.These two elements are united, of course, the danger augmenting the sense of dread, the sense of dread itself an appropriate response to, say, being trapped in a deep space mining vessel filled with the hungry dead.

Developed by Visceral Games, published by Electronic ArtsThis review is, in effect, the work of some two and a half years.It began when I received a copy of Visceral Games' Dead Space as payment for a playtest during my desperate, unemployed days in Austin, Texas.
