Description :

Dead Space is a third-person survival horror-action video game, developed by EA Redwood Shores for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows and released in October 2008, with a version for the Wii console expected for a Q3 2009 release. The player takes on the role of an engineer named Isaac Clarke, who battles a polymorphic, virus-like, alien infestation which turns humans into grotesque alien monsters called "Necromorphs", on board a stricken interstellar mining ship named the USG Ishimura.
The player takes the role of Isaac Clarke (named after science fiction writers Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke), an engineer who must fight his way through a stricken mining ship infested by the Corruption, a hostile, virus-like, free-roaming alien DNA with the ability to reanimate the bodies of the dead, turning them into grotesque monstrosities called Necromorphs. The game features an 'over the shoulder' third-person perspective, similar to games Resident Evil 4, Dark Sector and Gears of War. The interface does not feature a traditional head-up display. Instead, information is relayed to the player via holographic projections, which hover over or in front of Isaac's weapons and suit; his armor also plays as an indicator, the 'health meter' which is integrated into the spine of his armor indicates how much life he has left which ranges from red (indicating low/critical), yellow (half) and blue (full or near-full). An in-game store can be accessed where items can be bought and sold or stored for later use. The only menu in which the game is not still in progress is the pause menu and the save console menu (though the save console becomes inactive during cutscenes.)
