I think Dead Space 2 is the superior title - the first's mission structure was a bit too mechanical; the sequel is more organic - but a lot of my appreciation for the second is because I experienced the same horrors as the protagonist in DS1. So if you have the option, I'd say get them both. Dead Space 1 is still a pretty good game, even if a bit rough around the edges, and you'll get more appreciation of the second for playing it. >> * X-COM Enforcer (replay) >Sounds fun to me, added to my wishlist too. I ages ago tried picking up >the original X-Com, but it was at least a decade after it had come out >and I couldn't get into it. It's not just you. The original "X-Com: UFO Defense" is an undeniable classic, but its clunky interface (and to some degree, its graphics) keep me from getting returning (I played it a good amount when it was new, however). It's also far less forgiving in the early game, where you could wipe out in the first month if you weren't careful. The reboot - "XCOM Enemy Unknown" - had faults of its own but it's far more accessible (it's also is more forgiving in the early game, but any mistakes you make there will almost certainly bite you in the ass in the end game ;-).
