I'm playing lots of World at War and Smackdown Vs. Raw lately, haven't had time to get into the others.

Funny.

I find the (Horror) atmosphere lacking in Bioshock. Love the music score, but it doesn't at any time feel like a horror game. It's more like a fantasy shoot-em-up.

Love the tense atmosphere in Dead Space.


And for the record, i didn't bash Dark Knight. I just said it wasn't all that. Definitely not the top 3 movie 2008 for me.

I was kidding, saying TDK isn't the best movie in the past decade is considered bashing it now. Didn't you get the memo? As for the atmosphere, I'd say it was a dark sci-fi adventure with plenty of horror undertones but most of all I'd say it was fantastic. I don't know, I'm not a big sci-fi guy but the Ayn Rand influence was awesome and really set the mood. I'm (hopefully) going to start Dead Space tonight.

Well usually I play World at War or Left 4 Dead online if my cousins/brother/friends are on and I'm not sure what the wife wants to do tonight. Roads are crappy here so I'm sure she won't want to go out but who knows. How's Dead Space? I'm hoping for a story-lite game with plenty of jumps and lots of action.

Dead space is all about atmosphere. Think Alien/Aliens.

Also the weapons are pretty damn cool. ;)

It got pretty mixed reviews...any of you guys played it?
So, nobody's played this one?

I am too. The original game has actually aged well. It's still a blast.
