I don’t instantly despise Dead Space’s new moms hate Dead Space campaign, it could actually be hillarious if they, y’know used moms and not stereotypical replicas and missed the point their 30 year-old demographic might be over that whole “I’m going outside without a sweater” rebellious stage. My mom I know would probably hate Dead Space, mainly because there are too many cheap scares leaving you annoyed rather than frightened and the plot is an abysmal mess of space horror clichés that makes the Doom movie seem innovative.

It seems I have a weak spot for this game, I find it to take every negative aspect of Resident Evil’s ammo management system, Doom’s predictable jump out and scare you horror, and Halo’s Flood levels and yet, with every iteration I am there, because this game just looks cool and I’ll admit it, it’s frickin fun to blow up crap in space. Now if you’ll excuse me I need to go register excitablegrandmothershatedeadspace3.com

Zero-lives is a weekly comic strip lampooning the world of video games from the 8bit predecessors to the current systems. If it’s video game related it’s fair game. Rated E for everyone.
