Dead Space 2

Lavish presentation

Isaac Clarke carves through a Necromorph-infested space station with strategic dismemberment while battling his own haunting hallucinations. It is a faster, more cinematic sequel that keeps the original's oppressive sci-fi horror intact.

Dead Space

Dark, serious atmosphere

As engineer Isaac Clarke, you fight through the derelict mining ship USG Ishimura, strategically dismembering grotesque Necromorphs limb by limb. Its diegetic HUD-free interface, scarce ammo and oppressive sound design make it a landmark of sci-fi horror.

Alan Wake

Strong, story-driven narrative

A novelist hunts for his vanished wife in a misty Pacific Northwest town, fighting shadowy possessed foes with flashlight and gun while the pages of a manuscript he doesn't remember writing come true. Its TV-series-style episodic storytelling and eerie atmosphere are the main draw.
