House of the Dead was in the arcades, it was there a long ass time ago, more than 10 years? I would say its a pretty well known game. Resident Evil has also been around ages, we all know this game. But Dead Space is new, and its really not that popular a game to begin with. They expected a miracle, they got reality, what can I say.

I watched some deadspace and extraction videos on you tube, Deadspace looked way cool, it had atmostphere and way cool interface popups, it just looks amazing (the monsters still looks lame though), now strip that all away in Extraction. They failed and blame everyone else but themselves, great ...
