If I had to describe it in one word it'd be: Mental. Two words: Totally mental. Five words? Completely and utterly flipping mental. Well, I’ve played it for a while now.

Even though you've not exactly given this game a glowing testimonial, you've peaked my interest enough that I set it downloading last night before bed. At £3.19 it's well below my £5 "I'll just give it a punt" price level, anyway. Now I begin to understand why someone commented on my article about my great difficulties swapping a PS3 hard drive saying that they might do it! It’s weird.

Loved the absence of HUD in Dead Space. Allowed me to look through the screen rather than at it. Occasionally the rookie mechanic gets it absolutely spot on and deserves a chocolate Hob-Nob.

I mean, I say I'm dissapointed, but it was only about £3, so its all relative ;) Haha, thanks Kirsten. I mean, I say I’m dissapointed, but it was only about £3, so its all relative ;)

I'm really interested in this game. I'll get on it when I'm less busy. Of course sticking a cute baby in a blog is a cheap shot even when it is super appropriate because the entire rest of the blog could say blah, blah, blah and no one would mind because "awww cute"!
