I need to get back to Dead Space. I am in the 8th or 9th section and haven't picked it up in 6 months or more. I never hit that point where it wasn't scary anymore, but if I had, I probably would have finished it long ago. Scary games aren't exactly the first thing I grab when I want to sit down and relax with a game. Thanks for taking time to stop by and comment Aaron. I need to get back to Dead Space.

The beginning, where you watch the dude get sealed in that room, and they tell you to run... that was awesome. I ran my ass off. But later in the game, it was just a lot of creepy noises (the woman singing), dudes scampering across the screen, and not much else. I eventually learned that there wasn't much to be scared of, and went about my business killing guys while trying not to waste ammo.

I thought that Dead Space had one of the best atmospheres of any recent game - hell, that's the whole reason that their extension of their product line into other media wasn't such an outlandish idea. The Ishimura was incredibly detailed and the whole contextual menu system seemed to be the epitome of their stylistic push.

Rachel bashes Dead Space for having jump scares as if they don't count towards a games scary atmosphere. I'm a grown man and I played Dead Space in the dark by myself and I was constantly jumping out of my seat. Dead Space was an excellent game that deserve tons of recognition. I don't think people who weren't scared by it should trash talk it just because they're such bad asses. I know I might sound like I'm giving Rachel a hard time, but its nothing personal, she seems like an intelligent person, this is just a pet peeve of mine.
