That isn’t to say the series has somehow gone downhill since the original. Maybe it was because I only played it at night around Halloween, or because that was almost five years ago and I was a much bigger wussbag back then reflecting back on it, I think Dead Space just managed its suspenseful moments better. When I first played the original Dead Space, I remember jumping out of my seat on more than one occasion. It initially struck me as odd that the series moved away from its original intentions in Dead Space 2, opting for a more action oriented game than one with the subtle build-up of suspense followed by a BOO, gotcha moment upon which so many horror titles rely. Dead Space 3 is, of course, the long awaited third iteration of a series that began life as a survival horror game and ended with something notably less fear inducing, but still thoroughly enjoyable.
