Dead Space

This morning I had two and a half hours to kill while I waited for the cable guy to get my internet working so I turned on my Xbox in hopes of finishing up the last chapter of EA's Dead Space. After about an hour of play I did it. The credits rolled. The end of the game really suprised me. It was sad. That's something that doesn't typically happen in video games. The video game industry is trying more and more to make people respect games as an art form and a legitimate medium for story telling but nine times out of ten games tell the same old "overly masculine guy saves the damsel in distress" story. Dead Space doesnt tell that story and I respect it for that.
