Dead Space: A review in an anecdote

[missroserose]

As an anniversary present, I got Brian a copy of Dead Space. Rather than extol the virtues of the game (of which there are many, although I have yet to make a final determination as to its value), I figure I'll just relate the following moment, and let you judge for yourselves:

The other night, while Brian was playing (notably, with all the lights on), I was keeping him company while playing on my computer. It was getting late, though, so I got up with the intention of moving to the bedroom. However, about halfway there, Brian looks up from the game and says in the most plaintive, pathetic, 6-year-old-about-to-be-left-in-the-dark voice you can imagine - "Please don't leave me alone!"

Reminds me of 4-6 hour "Alice" sessions back in college... my roommate & I both learned that when playing that game at night, LOCK THE DOOR - the door was really very quiet, and startling ("scaring the shit out of") the other person, while amusing, wasn't the best idea on the planet.

I have friends back home who will put you in the hospital if you startle them - usually without intending to do so. (I know them from a martial arts studio I attended for several years.)
