Ah, Dead Space... What can I say about it that I haven't already said? How about CoG's very first Editor's Choice Award?

I haven't been as excited for a game release since the days of 3D Ant Attack on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum back in 1983. That's 25 years – a long time to go without that incredibly intense sense of anticipation and longing. Sure, I've been excited for other games since then, with the likes of Gears of War, Shadow of the Colossus, and Metal Gear Solid 4 all ranking up there, but this was somehow different. I still to this day can't quite put my finger on why I felt this way about Dead Space. There was just some intangible 'something' about it that gripped me in a way that stunned me at first, only to manifest itself into the kind of geekish sense of 'oh-my-god-I-have-to-tell-everyone-about-this' that seems to be lacking in a lot of today's video game offerings.
