DEAD SPACE! Plenty more people voted this year than last years battle where BioShock destroyed. And now I wonder, if Dead Space were to take on BioShock, who would win in the best game of 2007 vs the best game of 2008….stay tuned….
Top 3 Games:
1. Dead Space: 85 votes, 37.95%
2. Left 4 Dead: 76 votes, 33.93%
3. Fallout 3: 27 votes, 12.05%
Dead Space had it the entire race, although Left 4 Dead caught up and came close, it never passed Dead Space. Fallout 3 was 3rd place and didn’t even come close.
The controls in Dead Space are one of the main things that really sold me on it. When I went to E.A. to play it, and people asked me how the controls were, I said, oh they’re just like Resident Evil 4. And that’s what I described them as until I went back and played Resident Evil 4 again. And they weren’t the same. Dead Space’s controls trumped Resident Evils. So much smoother, and being able to aim your gun, and shoot it while moving is incredible. Many may not recall in Resident Evil 4, and also in Resident Evil 5, you can’t move aim and shoot. Once you aim, you immediately stop moving, and you have to pivot around in the same spot to aim at your enemies. This becomes a huge problem when you are being attacked by several enemies, or they are coming towards you and you can’t shoot while backing up. The story was great and original, they had the movie and comics to back up and thicken up the story. And for E.A.’s 1st attempt at horror, they did a mind blowingly awesome job. I’m super excited for the next Dead Space, and to see the E.A. Redwood Shores Crews adaptation of Dante’s Inferno. You can check out the teaser video for it HERE!
