Dead Space, especially this first entry, is not only a great game but also is genuinly scary. There is a constant feeling of dread during the entire game as well as some unexpected jump scares. I cannot recommend it enough to all gamers, especially horror fans. Will you be picking up this classic horror gem? It's totally free, so there's really no excuse not to!
