Your life but in 7 whole bits
//
Video games allow us to do things in a virtual world that we’re unable to do in real life. Whether it’s Slam dunking from the three point line or practicing for the eventual Zombie apocalypse, it’s an escapism. Every now and again though things can get a little close to home, but how close is too close? Here’s what I mean…

Quest for the Daisy Field Dwelling Cows
Oh cock.
A mere four chapters into the first Dead Space and I hear this horrific news. I have a whole other game to play. But its OK, EA haven’t finished yet. Just enough time to get my recommendations in. Lets have a look at that previous list I made and make some suggestions.

The inevitable occurred at approximately 11:23 on Friday the some date of December. My second, that’s right, second XBOX 360 decided to red ring. Not just any red ring, o no, it decided to whirr a little, then give me the false pretense that the red ring was some kind of sick practical joke and was going to work again, but then it decided to start smelling of electricity.
So I decided to set out and do some research to find out why the red ring of death actually occurs and to dismiss the old wives tale that it breaks due to ferrets in the operating system.

I hate Dead Space. I hate this game. I hate this game because it is too damn good. Now I’m no girly girl, I can handle the gore and the violence, in fact I quite enjoy it! But when it comes to ‘jumpiness’ I turn into a nervous wreck. This game stresses me out so much I think I’m going to have a nose bleed or a heart attack.
So admittedly I haven’t finished EA’s little monster yet so I can’t give it a fully informed review. In fact I’m only 3 out of 12 chapters in, so in the mean time heres 10 things I’m sure any player of the game can sympathise with:
I Hate:
1. Not being able to see both ways when entering a corridor.
2. When the blue line tells me to go into the dark room.
3. Anything that moves.
4. Walking around with no ammo and sweaty palms.
5. Vents.
6. Pressing the wrong button.
7. Corners.
8. When the music goes “Eeeeeeee”… then silence.
9. Decontamination.
10. Anything that moves.
Stay tuned for the full review folks. If it never comes look me up in the asylum.
