I bought Dead Space 2. Haven't played it yet.
I've been playing Monster Hunter Freedom Unite a lot. Like....a LOT.
Im on Chapter 8 of Dead Space 2. The game is scary, entertaining, exciting, interesting all at the same time. Its much more challenging than the first one. The sparsity of supplies and ammo makes Isaac sort of a scavenger, which means he has to dare to deviate from his course to look for supplies. The game keeps you on your toes and alert at all times and the monsters are ruthless.
Its good Sci Fi horror which I can tolerate. Though I love the scary games, I will never purchase or play Silent Hill 2. While it is the top rated creepy game for the moment, the concepts and logic of the creators are far too twisted for me.
