The first Silent Hill game was the best one, to me. After that I haven't cared as much.
The thing that really makes Dead Space what it is, is how Jason Graves handled the soundtrack. He did a good fucking job with it, and the music makes you feel uncomfortable. Without the atmosphere, the game would be completely different.

This article is much better and sees the "other side" of the story. Sounds like a bunch of bullshit but it's more detailed.

Sundance: Kevin Smith premiers new film, tells Hollywood to suck it
Writer/Director Kevin Smith premiered his new film Red State at Sundance today—he'd led everyone to believe that after the showing, he'd publicly auction the distribution rights to the highest-bidding studio. Instead, he bought it himself and used the attention generated to note how broken the studio distribution system is (why spend $20 million on a film that cost $4 million to make) and how he was convinced he could a better job handling things on his own.
Fans of Smith may be surprised, but shouldn't be too shocked by this move: Smith has long bemoaned the "business" of making and releasing movies, and has been particulary vocal about it on twitter of late.
Personally, I'm really excited about this. There is so much under-appreciated talent out there, and we all know that the web really does make it so much easier to get the word out. Someone as established as Smith deciding not to play the game anymore, and to instead explore new options, may have far-reaching effects on the rest of the industry. I can't wait to see what comes from this.
Smith also announced he'll be making one more movie (after Red State), but that he will then retire from the director's chair with plans to focus on the distribution side of the business, presumably to the benefit of others opting to work outside of the studio system. Go Kevin!

Yeah we'll see about that.
I've read he's doing "Hit Someone" and "Clerks 3", but I haven't heard anything about it past one article so I think the writer might have made up the Clerks thing. Either way he'll be working on the Smodcast network really hard, so at least he's not just disappearing... Plus that's years from now (I would assume) so who knows what can happen by then.

I never played the first Dead Space, but around the time of E3, I read up on all the games coming out, and everyone seemed to be talking about how good Dead Space 2 looked, and how great the first one was. Decided then that I would give that game a good look when it came out. Over Christmas, Steam had their holiday sale and I picked up the first Dead Space for $4.99. Still have to play it, but that will make me decide if im getting the second one or not. Crysis 2 however, I will be buying on release day... if i get a new graphics card before then.
