Keepers is a weekly segment in which I discuss games I’ve played that I’ve seen fit to keep after playing. I generally sell a game that I’ve finished, so the only reason I keep one is because I plan to replay the game some day. Classifying a game as a “keeper” is generally a badge of merit.<\/em><\/p>\n

Were you to ask me what my favorite Playstation 3 game is, it wouldn’t be Resident Evil 4. It wouldn’t be Uncharted. I’m not even sure it would be Pixeljunk Monsters. It would be Dead Space<\/a>. I’ve written more in depth about how Dead Space has taken up the mantle of survival horror once held by Resident Evil<\/a>, but beyond that, the game is just an excellent third-person shooter. The gravity mechanics, the pivoting plasma cutter, and the pure atmosphere afforded by the soundless vacuum environments make Dead Space the best shooter I’ve played in a long time. Certainly the best console shooter I’ve played since Resident Evil 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
