zombie driver is quite fun for the money, not sure how long you can play it though...in short bursts.
Dead Space needs all the sales it can get as it only sold 36K copies @ retail in the USwhich means no Dante's Inferno for PC in 2010 as the same devs decided against it because of very low Dead Space sales on PC (PC was the lead platform as well).
I don't know what PC sales are usually like, but that sounds low
Anyone who enjoys it would probably enjoy Shadowgrounds and Shadowgrounds Survivor, and both are around the same price.

Had a quick go on torchlight last night, then realised it was 1am >.>
Very nice, reminds me kind of Zombies Ate My Neighbours on the SNES.
My only issue with the game is the mouse control, can''t see anywhere to enable WASD controls either
Not that much of an issue, control set works ok just would have preffered keyboard.

Most probably because it was a very average game not really worth buying. Not in my eyes anyways.
It's not a bad game I quite liked the first level, and there was nothing particularly wrong with it either, but, it wasn't anything that good that it kept you playing either... There are many other shooters which are simply better or better value. These types of shooters usually appeal more to casual console gamers.
Just my 2p.

I found Dead Space great fun, story was a bit questionable in parts.
Action and cutscenes belnded nicely from what I remember, some nice battles and jumpy sections too.
the low grav sections are good fun, I died a few times before I knew what was going on xD
Only played thru it once, the second time round you get extra goodies tho

5 quid for a game that uses atmosphere and tension (along with some rather nice visuals) rather than simply just throwing waves and waves of enemies at you all the time with no real thought? Give me more casual console games then please.

Was it really the lead platform? It was released first on the 360 and PS3, then the PC around 1-2 weeks later.
As for the low sales garbage, would they have even bothered with a Dead Space 2 if the first really sold that badly? Would they have bothered with extending the franchise via a Wii game and animated film? It all seems a bit much for such a small fanbase.
I felt like this at points during play but carried on due to the raving on certain OcUK members. I'm glad I did as it was an enjoyable game in the end, however I can see why gamers with no pre conceptions of the game can become disappointed and disillusioned with it.
I played it on the PS3 and have since played it on the PC at a friends and as bad as it sounds, I felt it worked better on the console. Why? Mouse and keyboard aiming takes the fear out of a game due to faster reactions. The flaws of a console controller actually help to enhance the stress of killing the enemies in some games and Dead Space is one of these.

What are you exactly referring to ? Yes I never said it didn't have nice visuals and no tension etc, I'm just saying, it doesn't ''make me'' want to play on like some other shooters do. But 95% of shooters these days are like this and I have to force myself to continue playing them.
Unlike, say, Bioshock ( though that wore off after about halfway through) or GTA IV where I wanted to play on by myself. Then again it might be me, now that I'm looking, aside from some short 3-5 hr shooters ( CoD, HL2, etc), I have barely finished any shooter aside from Fallout 3 ( which isn't a true fps)...

The low sales were for the PC version....They sold 1.4 million copys of dead space worldwide including the Console sales..

You have to turn Vsync off to fix mouse lag.
