Dead space games are about as scary as your mom sneaking in to your bedroom while you sleep and bashing pots and pans next to your head. Sure you'll get a jolt a few times, but it will get old, tired and FRUSTRATING really fast.
Also the fact you don't give a shit what happens to the characters in Dead Space, and you have save points and unlimited continues kills any scares or weight the game has.
If they were talking about Silent Hill 2 per say...there could be a good debate for this.
They can be... Amnesia: The Dark Descent.... chilling...


Half life. No I'm not joking, that game scared the shit out of me when I was little.
And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360... And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

No, you can smoke a spliff while watching a scary movie and get completely freaked out, for example event horizon. In a game you just get lost running around in circles in a straight corridor to find out the next day you saved with 2 health left and no ammo.

Dead space games are about as scary as your mom walking in on you while your back is turned to the door, penis through the boxer hole, head phones on, in front of the computer and you realize what's about to happen.
Scary the first 4 or 5 times, but starts to lose it's luster

I'm playing Dead Space 2 right now and I can tell you its FAR scarier than Silent Hill 2 ever was.
And don't give a shit what happens to the characters in Dead Space? Are you kidding me? Isaac Clark is a FAR more compelling character than pretty much any horror game I can think of.
Its funny you even bring Silent Hill up to be honest THOSE are games whose characters you don't give a shit about, talk about generic.
