While I have been looking more for multiplayer oriented games as of late, something about fighting space-zombies in zero gravity is really bad ass.

I am keeping my eye on this one.

Looks like RE4 meets Event Horizon meets System Shock meets... something with zero grav parts?

Someone's cranky about having their epic script rejected by the studios.

Great, i had a feeling it was going to be a "real" survival horror type game. My only concern is pointed at the games re-play value, most games this gen have let me down with little to no replay value at all. But from what ive seen it looks to have as much as say resident evil 4, with the weapons and stat upgrades and dlc costumes and so on. GG Deadspace!

Actually, reviews don't generally have that much variance, so expect plenty more in the 85—95 range.

Maybe that's because EA has nothing to do with Fallout.

Mmmm I'd love it if they made MP a bit darker, like even more than Echoes. The first few hours had me jumpy. Not as "mature" as RE4 though, gotta keep it T for toddlers.

Hmm I've always found console specific reviews a little off, even if it's multi-platform. I'd say it's an 8.5, or maybe, but less likely, even better than 9.1.

Yeah I feel the same way. I'll be waiting on some more impartial reviews. The game does look great though. What's happening to EA?!? They're evolving!

Haven't we learned anything from the pseudo-Spore controversies? It's clearly intelligent design guiding EA forward.

Because if continues to get good scores the Ultra Edition will become in high demand but low supply because there is only 1,000 of them....So it will actually be a REAL special edition that is worth money to collectors in the future

Well Far Cry 2 has an early review of 94% (www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/pc/farcry2) so that has to be awarded World's Greatest Kajigger. Except LittleBigPlanet has an early review of 100% (www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps3/littlebigplanet) and I'm not sure that can be beaten.

I have a list of about 5-6 games that I will be buying. Dead Space has been on the outside looking in so far. But, if it is THAT GOOD I can't pass it up.

My Holiday 2008 List (In order of priority)

1. Little Big Planet
2. Gears Of War 2
3. Valkyria Chronicles
4. Left 4 Dead
5. Fallout 3
6. Rock Band 2 OR Guitar Hero World Tour
7. SOCOM:Confrontation (Bad beta may make me wait)
8. Far Cry 2
9. Dead Space
10. Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm
11. Resistance 2 (waiting to play the Beta could be +/-)
12. Motorstorm Pacific Rift
13. Fable 2
14. Saints Row 2
15. Mirrors Edge
16. Rock Revolution
17. Banjo-Kazooie Nuts And Bolts
18. Sonic Unleashed
19. Last Remnant
20. Prince Of Persia
21. Call Of Duty World At War
22. Midnight Club LA
23. Tomb Raider Underworld

This is my actual list ... I know it's sad

Way Way Way to many games being released that are off the chain ... It will probably change

Note to other fanboys - My list does not include Wii, DS or PSP because they are irrelevant this holiday season for me ..

I miscommented earlier...

I can't believe you would get 'Rock revolution' and either Rock bnad 2 or Guitar Hero IV.

You should be getting Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero IV and leaving that piece of shiat Rock revolution on the shelf.

Shag -

I'm not getting all of those games. I will probably get 6 games this holiday season. This is my overall list of where they all stand as of this moment.

Dead Space? Dead Space? Why, that's not even the best game with a severed hand on the box to be released this year! How much ad space did EA buy on Joystiq? Huh? Answer me that, Ludwig!

Oh, fuck it. I'm going to go preorder Dead Space.

I guess you know this because of your pre-release copies of Left 4 Dead & Dead Space.

Tough choices this holiday season!

I haven't played a beat both, but I have played both. It definitely goes Left 4 Dead > Dead Space, but not by a ton. They aren't really even the same genre in my opinion. Left 4 Dead is a balls to the wall fast paced Zombie Co-Op FPS game, while Dead Space is a slower Third Person Shooter/Survival Horror.

Hmmm...I'm looking forward to this, but the first review out the door is almost always pre-approved by the Publisher/Developer before hand, and this is a 91%. So good so far but I'm still on the fence for a rent.

NEVER trust first reviews (in most cases, no matter who gives the review) Lair and too human both scored very high in their first review. I'm not saying dead space will be the next lair; I'm saying that we should wait to form an opinion until at least 4 well known reviews come out for this game.

Lol at John's list...

As for this game I'm curious. If there's a demo released I'll definitely try it out...however I'm not convinced it will be great.

And for the record that boxart is fuck ugly...
