The game that Dead Space 2 most resembles, however, is BioShock. Take some Resident Evil and some of James Cameron's Aliens, add a dash of John Carpenter, and you've got Dead Space.

Picking up Dead Space 2, even if you haven't played the first Dead Space, you'll instantly understand the controls, and even the level structure. It's also an over-the-shoulder shooter that's atmospheric, deeply story-driven, and meticulously paced. For more on Dead Space 2, make sure to check out our live demo on last week's episode of preGame.ĭead Space 2, like many of the best games of this generation, is a sequel.
