NYCC: Hands-On With Dead Space 2

I don’t even know where to begin with this.  It took me about 45 minutes of solid wait time to get hands-on with the title.  They came in droves out of nowhere thirsting for some play time.  Of course, I’m not complaining (I totally am) no other booth with the exception of maybe the Starcraft tourney was seeing nearly as much action.  I bitched, I moaned, I sighed, and then I smiled.

A booth employee directed me to a claustrophobic space in front of a shwank Samsung LCD, fitted me with equally sexy headphones ,and simply said “enjoy”.  You bet your ass I’m going to enjoy.  I start the game (PS3 version because its apparently sexier?) and it all comes back to me.  The controls feel familiar, secondary fire, stasis, d pad for weapon switch, etc.  As I’m becoming acclimated to the controls, it hits me.  The game is bigger, better, and stronger.
