These were the best moments in Dead Space 2

2011 was a pretty great year for gaming. Yeah, yeah, I know what you're buy tera gold thinking: everyone always says that every year. Sure, that might be true, but really, 2011 was a great year for gaming! Hell, just look at our Game of the Year nominees in 2011: Batman: Arkham City, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Portal 2, and Dead Space 2.
All great games, but my personal number one for that year was Dead Space 2. The original Dead Space was great, but then Visceral Games turned the dial up to 11 with the sequel, leaving an impression on me that was buried deeper than the nightmares left in Isaac Clarke's brain.
I've been long overdue for a replay of Dead Space 2, so on the eve of Dead Space 3's release, I felt like a full on replay was needed to remember what made the game so great.
The Suit
How many of you remember the shit storm people raised when Visceral revealed the new suit for Isaac? "It's too action-y looking, " the fans cried. "WHY ARE YOU RUINING THIS GAME, EA?! "
Yeah, the new suit was in sharp contrast to the bulkier piece of armor used in the first game, but people stopped bitching really quick once they saw how awesome it actually looked in action. And while there were other suits available in the game, including the DS1 armor itself, I just stuck with the main armor. Overall not the best compared to later armor you could get, but it just looked so freaking badass.
The first Five Minutes
Dead Space 2 set the tone for the entire game within the first five minutes. Sure, you knew going in it was going to be a horror title filled with all sorts of deranged stuff, but the last thing I was expecting to happen within the very first five minutes was see a guy get killed, infected, and witness his face break open right in front of me, all while trapped in a straightjacket.
This moment was even more intense thanks to the fact I was wearing surround sound headphones. I'm pretty sure I yelled out a giant "OH FUCK! " but I'm not really sure what came out of my mouth thanks to the Necromorph screams tearing up my eardrum.
The Marketing
Granted, this is a weird thing to highlight but as someone who's job it is to consume, process, and spit out all the media that's sent to Destructoid on a daily basis, I have to commend EA's efforts with Dead Space 2.
The very first trailer focusing on Isaac's dementia set the mood, the Lullaby trailer sent chills down my spin, but the best was EA's series of Your Mom Hates Dead Space campaign. It was very silly, but damn entertaining watching these sweet innocent ladies subjugated to pure gore.
