Dead Space

I don't know much about the Dead Space setting so I thought I'd read it up a bit. I've played the game a bit, but given that I usually don't play and don't quite enjoy shooters in general, I couldn't make myself play even halfway through.

The artwork and the style (warning, contains some strong language, in case this irks you) is fitting to the dark and gory nature of the setting. I found myself reading it from cover to cover in one sitting, despite originally telling myself that I'll just read a bit and do something else.

If you want to get scared from reading this, you'd be disappointed. I found it more interesting and engrossing than scary; and considering my purpose is to find out more about Dead Space, I'd say it was splendid. I'll go play the game if I want to get scared (which is scary by the way). I'm gonna go look up more resources regarding Dead Space (or maybe just play the game).

Back story to a video game franchise. Story is well paced but you need to know some elements of the video games to full understand this prequel.
