Finished Dead Space and I was actually quite satisfied with the ending (I knew about it beforehand even) in regards to how it complemented the set up. Spoiler:
In retrospect, I'm glad I completed the hard difficulty, though there were a couple of times where I thought I'd have to start over. The boss fights didn't distinguish themselves IMO (and the asteroid slug blaster was flimsy) but I'll allow Dead Space 2 to toy around with that. A fuck you goes out to these enemies: Twitchers, Dividers (well, okay actually, their friggin small parts), and the wall guardians (easily the most disturbing for me also). The rest are only as annoying as their frequency and pairing. The whole body horror based design freaked me out in general so the suspense came pretty naturally (similar I guess to The Thing, though not as effective). There were times when I would hate to advance because the surprise was too much. Other times I would get frustrated as hell from the constant trial and error clearings. Nonetheless Dead Space 2 is on my radar. I want to see this canon expand.
