So i just finished my complete play through on dead space. I had been debating on trading the game in for a while, but with three achivements left, I felt the need to go all the way. After all is said and done, I love this game, I have literally played through six times, and the game still was able to make me feel worried. The last 2 achievements I had were, the impossible playthrough, and the one gun playthrough. Now unfortunately I decided to do these at the same time.....bad idea. This REALLY kicked up the dificulty of the game, but at the same time it took out the "oh crap no ammo" part of the game. It seemed to me that 95% percent of the ammo found in the game is based on the guns you have in your inventory. Not sure if thats a solid fact but there was never a point that I was "low". Now, with the stress of ammo off of my mind, I thought that the game would be a breeze especially with the dlc 'elite' suit. Literally, the first room I walked into I was dead in 45 seconds. On the impossible setting more 'elite' enimes pop up, and the lurkers that would jump on you if you got too close, now seem to become the clingy babies they once were and will run at you for a nasty hug. After I finished the final boss and the achivement notification popped up, I really felt a sense of acomplishment, and I then realized dead space didnt have alot of stupid achivements. Stupid achivements seem to be in every game nowadays, (ex.Fable 2 dress like a goth for 5 points), so it was nice to have a game that actually rewarded you for a difficult task. Anyway if anyone hasn't checked out Dead Space yet, DO IT! and crank it up to the hard difficulty if you really want to get the blood pumping.
I finally picked up fable 2 and im about halfway through the main quest so I should have my thoughts on that for the next show.
Also I would like to publicly welcome travis to the team, and thank him for the awesome posts he's done.
