    It's not perfect, and the art style can be irksome with its intentionally marred characters, but for five bucks (or for free), Dead Space: Ignition delivers a good backstory and a few pieces of entertaining puzzle gameplay.

    A fairly basic and uneventful puzzler, Dead Space Ignition will probably be best enjoyed by hardcore fans of the Dead Space series only.

    Dead Space: Ignition isn't a great game or even a good one.

    Overall, as I have mentioned, Dead Space Ignition is just a very poor attempt to generate hype for Dead Space 2. The art is bad, the mini games are not fun, and the experience is short unless you go back for more endings.

The drawings for the storyline are nice, though it is only an excuse for inserting the mediocre mini games. Overall, it is not a worth paying game (which unfortunately I did).… Full Review »

    Interesting snippet of Dead Space backstory wrapped around 3 minigames. One minigame (lights and mirrors) is quite good, one is frustratingInteresting snippet of Dead Space backstory wrapped around 3 minigames. One minigame (lights and mirrors) is quite good, one is frustrating (racing lines through obstacles) and one is just confusing mess (firing spinney things through a maze). I bought it on sale just for the backstory, but I wish I could skip the minigames, or at least select a difficulty level.… Full Review »

The kind you step when you walk on the beach barefoot. Green moss-infested seagull scum. Getting it for free was too high of a price, I want the time I wasted back. Save your money. In all fairness though, it's challenging to get all the trophies for it. But it's just not worth it, even if you're a trophy hunter. It's not fun at all, it has nothing to do with Dead Space besides the tie-in with the story. And come to think of it, I feel bad for whoever had to write the story for it. Now their credited with it.

    I'm kind of burying this game, but honestly, who thought this would be a good idea? Find that guy and fire him. Give him a slap across the face too.
    Call his mother and ask her if he was dropped on his head, then email me to so I can rest in peace knowing what gave this project a green-light.    … Full Review »
