Howdy folks!
It's been a loooooong while since I've written a review (Since the new game well has started to run dry), so I decided to help you out with a little of an achievement boost.
With one of the easily scariest games in history, Dead Space!
1: Pack Rat
10 Gamerscore
This achievement is pretty simple to do. Store 25 items in the Safe. This can be anything from weapons to ammunition to tools. Remember though, you need a full stack of ammunition in order for the one item to count.
2: Merchant
10 Gamerscore
Again, quite simple. By playing the game, you will come across schematics. Find 8 of them and this achievement will be yours. Remember to check near by power nodes and areas beyond the direction point.
3: Armstrong
10 Gamerscore
Third time's the charm, this one is pretty simple. Shoot 50 items with Kinesis objects; this can be anything that maims or kills. With kinesis, everything around you is a weapon against both Necromorphs and tasks in-game.
4: Surgeon
20 Gamerscore
This time, this achievement isn't so easy. Dismember 500 limbs from Necromorphs. Now this seems like a bit of a task to fulfill, but this can be done in the first walkthrough of the game. Remember to hack off every single limb, including dead bodies, and this achievement can be unlocked.
5: One Gun
40 Gamerscore
This achievement is much more difficult; as it suggests, the game must be completed using only one weapon. That weapon must be the Plasma Cutter, the first weapon you receive. Switching to another weapon will count as a second weapon. There are much larger and more difficult enemies that you will face and many of them require different weapons for different moments. However, an easy way around this is to use rule #1 when it comes to Dead Space. "Hack off the limbs."
The quickest, and most efficient, way to do this is always aim for the legs; this will make nearly all Necromorphs drop and fall, giving you a few seconds to put the creature down. You can aim for the head, but this does not guarantee a kill.
Well, I wrote this entirely from my phone, so I think my typing with a touch pad is getting better, despite the fact this took nearly an hour to do!
Thanks for reading!

Review: Dead Space
G'day folks!
Finding joy in a game series from a sequel is something that doesn't happen a lot with this gamer, but with my love for Dead Space 2 ignited a love for horror games and with the final chapture on the way, its good to look back to the game that started it all; and Dead Space does not dissapoint, despite its growing age.
The horror genre in both gaming and film media has been slipping in the last 10 years, many of the classics being repeated over and over until the genre became nothing more than a cheap scare. One of the many titles to save the horror gaming genre was indeed Dead Space, made evident in the first few minutes of gameplay.
While now the game has been out for four years, the graphics still look reletively modern, still being believable and the gruesome scenes. But what really helps to push the fear in the game is the sound effects and musical score. Turning corners, waiting too long in one spot or even just standing in an elevator, Necromorphs will bleed out of the wall and can easily turn a man into a wimpering blubbering mess.
Despite having a silent protagonist, the game is filled with conversational types. From audio logs, to main plot lines and even alive crew members now gone insane, there is plenty to be creeped out about and fear.
One of the only things that lack in this game is the customisation. While the main point of Dead Space is to survive the attack and destroy the Red Marker, not much about Issac changes until the end of the game. Your Engineer suit, while can be upgraded and gain key things, does not change colour or design dramatically.
However, these things can be overlooked with the great amount of gameplay, plot twists and screaming as the unkillable necromorph chases you down over and over.
While many gamers may turn a blind eye to the classics of yesteryear, its always best to go back and discover the origins of any game series. Dead Space was a game that has brought hours of joy to millions of gamers and hopefully Dead Space 3 will live up to the reputation the series has made.
Out of 10, I gave Dead Space an 9/10
Good Points
+Freakishly scary
+Excellent and creative gameplay
+Honed controls and AI battle situations
+Defining storytelling
Bad Points
-Reloading mid battle is a hassle
-Customisation needed a bit of work
Dead Space is out now for the standard price of 1920 Microsoft Points
