I wasn't aware of THAT much hype about Dead Space.
You want a game that doesn't disappoint though, look no further than Left 4 Dead! It's OMGawesome!

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
