INTRODUCTION

Welcome to my Dead Space Featured Guide, fellow horror fan.

The crew aboard the Kellion shuttle has just been dispatched to investigate a blackout and lack of communication aboard the USG Ishimura. After making a crash landing on the ship due to a guidance tether malfunction aboard the Ishimura, the crew, along with engineer Isaac Clarke, set out to investigate the vessel and seek repair for their damaged shuttle. What they find aboard the shuttle places them in a fight for survival against hordes of alien creatures known as "necromorphs". Before long, the crew becomes stranded aboard the USG Ishimura.

With an incredibly creepy atmosphere and RE4-style gameplay, EA has graced horror fans with a fantastic horror experience set in space. Dead Space emphasizes the removal of limbs through "strategic dismemberment" in order to defeat an enemy. Going directly for an enemy's head won't exactly finish it this time because it may continue to slash violently toward your direction. Dead Space wants you to completely strip your enemies down to the torso in order to finish them.

If you've read any of the my survival horror guides then you'll know that horror is my favorite genre in gaming and therefore it will receive as detailed of a coverage as I can deliver. In this guide, the basics section provides information that one will need to survive this nightmare, the walkthrough contains a full detailed guide that will take you through each room in the game and point out every item therein, and the list section provides a list of important collectibles found throughout the game along with a few of the game's unlockables.

There's most likely no help coming for Mr. Isaac Clarke and his team, so we'll have to grab the nearest plasma cutter and slaughter some alien lifeforms until someone notices us. Like bread crumbs to a destination, surely someone will see our fine trail of limbs out in space...
