Dead Space
This is a fantastic game, even for me and I'm not especially into horror games. In fact I'm usually rather put off by this genre but this game has a great story and some interesting mechanics like "strategic dismemberment" and zero gravity. Also the graphics are superb even three years later. The game is not nearly as scary as it is startling. If you have the sound turned up and some relatively decent output you will definitely jump a few times. It's not super long I think I beat it about 10-12 hours on medium difficulty. There are some minor annoyances here and there. It's a survival/horror game so you really need to conserve ammo, but the game can be particularity intense causing you to spray frantically. There is no HUD and all the menus have to be accessed in real time giving that you a sense of the constant threat of danger. There are a couple collision detection bugs here and there in zero gravity but other than that the game is pretty well polished. I'd definitely recommend this game to just about anyone who is a serious gamer.
