A rather sub-standard TV show here in the UK just scored 9 out on 10 for Dead Space.
I did have a few concerns over this title, what with EA being behind it but after seeing loads of ingame footage with info on weapon upgrades, engineering, jump-out-of your-seat moments, sound quality and especially the graphics (stunning) I will definately be grabbing this one now. Playr itself can't be fully trusted in my eye, but the look of the game alone is Amazing.
Hope this puts a few peoples minds at rest.......... ;)
PS. Now the only dilemma is for the UK.....Far Cry 2 & Dead Space release on the same day..... :(
Dead Space
Game » consists of 13 releases. Released Oct 14, 2008
Engineer Isaac Clarke battles a polymorphic virus-like alien infestation that turns human corpses into grotesque undead alien monsters called "Necromorphs" while trying to survive on board an infested interstellar mining ship named the USG Ishimura.
DS Scores 9/10 on Playr
"I think the game has always looked good, but why would you feel like the game would be bad because EA is "behind it". I will never cease to be amazed by the hatred towards EA."EA don't have the right reputation behind them. It's not the hatred, there's just no reason to expect one of their games will be good.
"Playr is on Bravo in an hour, followed by Playr 2 and then Playr Guide, are I correct?"yes, thats the one, think it gets repeated on Sundays too.

But definately "Down" with there new direction. Eg. if Valve was behind Dead Space, Far more people would be Stellar for this title. ;)
"EA don't have the right reputation behind them. It's not the hatred, there's just no reason to expect one of their games will be good."I don't think there is any real justification for that bad reputation. I don't feel like they have made that many more "bad" games than other big publishers. Yes, they are looking to make money, but so are a lot of companies and they aren't just making shit every second to make a quick buck.
"I didn't say bad rep. Expectations are somewhat mediocre. Compare EA to Blizzard or Valve and you'll see why Dead Space could flop. Though I hope it doesn't."Well I'm not saying you should compare them to Blizzard or Valve, but I think that in comparison to Ubisoft or similar companies they get more hate than deserved. I think people forget about the good games they bring out because of their sports games and other similar stuff.
"Demilich said:it is the old story that the little man (me ;) ) doesn't like the Large Corporation (that has been in players eyes since day dot) that buys up everything.........it'll always be a hard image for EA to shake."I didn't say bad rep.

still, if they carry on in the vain of Dead Space, people will change their views on them.
"I'm interested in the game as well, but I understand if people are on the fence about paying $60 for an unknown quantity. In the States, Toys R Us is having a Buy 2 get 1 free deal from 10/12 to 10/18. So if you're hesitant, you could possibly get Dead Space for zero dollars."If only they were doing that the next week...That would have been so fantastic.

"If only they were doing that in Australia... I could save $120."Do they even have such a thing as Toys R Us in Australia...because that would make me laugh. Though I think that their deals are usually platform specific. ie. Buy 2 360 games, get 1 360 game free. Buy 2 PS3 games, get 2 PS3 game free etc...
"Yeah, there's Toys 'R' Us here, but not much else. We have EB Games, no GameStop, no Best Buy, no Wal-Mart."I am quite shocked to hear that you guys have Toys 'R' Us, but not Wal-Mart. They were closing a lot of stores and almost went out of business a few years back if I remember correctly.
"AaronBelfast said:Well thats good, it was a repeat today, so what the fuck are they going to do with Sundays show. Repeat it again?"Playr is on Bravo in an hour, followed by Playr 2 and then Playr Guide, are I correct?"yes, thats the one, think it gets repeated on Sundays too.

"RobDaFunk said:not sure, maybe they have the New shows on Sunday and the show I saw today was a repeat from last week, not sure??"AaronBelfast said:Well thats good, it was a repeat today, so what the fuck are they going to do with Sundays show.

all the shows on Virgin Media are on TV Catch On Demand tho..... :)
"Not that it really matters. The only place with a reliable selection of games is EB, and they are overpriced as fuck. Importing and Steam are the only ways to go if you don't want to pay $100 to $120 for a game."I didn't know prices were like that in Australia. I thought this kind of thing only happened here in Brazil.
