Review: Dead Space 2 (Xbox 360, PS3, PC)
The original Dead Space is one of my favorite games to be released this generation, for good reason. It was a unique IP with an the interesting concept. Strategic dismemberment. The best way to kill Dead Space’s grisly, blades-for-arms space monsters was to shoot their limbs off.
It was gory, violent, and a hell of a lot of fun. Coupled the dark, foreboding corridors of the Ishimura and deadly, upgradable arsenal of industrial tools, everything came together perfectly to form a spine-chilling, adrenaline-fueled ride like no other.
Dead Space 2 sets out to build on all of this and manages to improve just about everything in the process. On top of that adds online multiplayer.

Space… how many of these beta impression posts on various gaming blogs will start out with the “…the final frontier” line? While I don’t consider myself either a Trekkie or a Trekker, I do love science fiction and have seen my fair share of Star Trek related shows, movies, and games.
The full retail version of Star Trek Online launches February 2nd. Having pre-ordered the game, I have been in the beta for the past week. The game has had several patches in the meantime and a lot of downtime. This is not intended to serve as a review of the game, but as a quick write-up of my initial impressions of the Beta and what I’m looking forward to in the full game.
