Occasionally a video game comes along that you can't ignore, and "Dead Space" is one. A game loaded with high production values, gripping story and the backing of publishing giant Electronic Arts, "Dead Space" is poised to be a blockbuster. "Dead Space" is a sci-fi survival tale combined with the horror of a Clive Barker film. When a mining space ship comes into contact with a mysterious alien artifact, its communications with Earth are mysteriously cut off. Engineer Isaac Clarke is sent to repair the communications array but finds himself in a living nightmare. (link)
