Watch 17 Minutes of Gameplay From ‘Dead Space 3’

Dead Space is a fantastic series. I picked up the first title from a bargain bin not knowing much about it, but upon popping it into my PS3, I quickly learned that I was in for a huge treat.

The game is more action than survival horror (definitely not in the same style as the Silent Hill series). Even with the action heavy gameplay, it still manages to be creepy as hell.Dead Space has excellent visuals (even today) and great a soundtrack. The plot is also very strong, featuring a deep story revolving around religion and corruption.

Dead Space 2 also received much praise. I’ve had that one on my shelf since launch day, but have yet to open it up. I do plan to play the hell out of it, but that time simply hasn’t come. It also had a fantastic ad campaign with the extremely memorable “You Mom Hates Dead Space 2″ series of videos.

I hope to get to the second title soon, as the release of Dead Space 3 is fast approaching! The game is set to hit shelves in February 2013. Developer Visceral games teased us today with a long look at what to expect from the third game. Check it out below and let us know what you think!
