Abstract: New franchises are about as tough to get off the ground as a pig on a pogo stick but in 2008, Electronic Arts did it. With Dead Space, EA's tension-filled, sci-fi third-person-survival-horror-shooter, (Whew, hyphen much?) we got a gripping, Aliens-l...
Abstract: Isaac Clarke is not a very lucky man. After spending a long time on the Ishimura trying to escape from the clutches of the Necromorphs and destroy the Aegis Marker that helped create them he almost didn't make it. He may have survived his time on the I...
