Much-Delayed Dead Space Mini-Review

Dead Space: (360, PS3; $59.99; Rated M; deadspace.ea.com)

Fans of sci-fi horror like "Aliens" or John Carpenter's "The Thing" will feel right at home with this survival horror game set within a desolate mining spaceship adrift in space.  Creepy-crawlys lurk within every ventilation shaft as you attempt to piece together what went horribly wrong and why everyone is either dead or transformed into a horrible-looking thing that wants to eat you.  Though gameplay is only mediocre, the presentation, graphics, and sound design is top-notch- making what you don't see a whole lot freakier than what you do see.
