Zombie Nation citizen Mike Van Vuuren a.k.a “The Zombiologist” was kind enough to take the time to write up a review of EA’s game “Dead Space” and send it to me. He had a lot to say about it both good and bad. You can read the full review here.

I thought it made for a pretty good read and since I have a copy of “Dead Space” that I’m just about to get into I was interested in what he had to say.
Thanks again, Mike for the review. That’s awesome.
I just finished reading the review of dead space
I found Mike “Mothman” Van Vuuren, way to opinionated and i believe he did not give the game a fair judgement, the reason i say that is because dead space has won 11 game awards and more the 70 critic awards
i felt that “Mike “Mothman” Van Vuuren” did not give EA and the game enough credit
it felt like he was just ranting on and on
Perhaps, but I can hardly criticize. Did you see my review of “Survival of the Dead?” I was pretty brutal with that review and I’m sure there are some people who think I’m off base about that as well. Probably George Romero (If he ever reads it) for one probably will think I suck. He’s welcome to think that, but it does make me sad.
I don’t think there is anything be it movies, games, celebrities, whatever that are going to achieve universal acclaim or universal derision. At the end of the review Mike did have some positive things to say about the game.
I was happy to have Mike’s review because I tend to really like everything (Survival was an exception) and I worry about coming off as a corporate shill sometimes.
If you’d like to do a counter review of that game your more than welcome too. I only ask that you address the game with the review and not Mike’s review of the game. I try to encourage those who come to my site to play nice with each other. 🙂
Dear Graverobberpb
What you just read is a review, mine to be exact. Hence MY opinions on the game. You may feel differently about it, and good for you, everybody is entitled to an opinion. I wrote this review to point out the pit falls that I felt should have clear road markings taped around them, and the manor in which I do so is admittedly harsh and opinionated, but thats what a review is about baby ( oh god I just heard Austin Powers’s voice in my head.)
If you disagree I ask you to look at one of the most well regarded game reviewer online. Ben “Yahtzee” Crawshaw.
So say what you will, I dont care. Feel how you will, I dont care. Do what thou shalt.

My comment was not to bash or mock the review that Mike did, I just feel that the review was opinionated therefore no longer making it a review but a personal opinion about the game
If i was to do a review of the game what e-mail address must i send it to
@The Zombiologist Good review. With the 20 years of experience I have with EA games under my belt I know where you are coming from. I’d love to see what you could do with a review of Fort Zombie…my favorite budget priced(cheap) zombie game that many others love to bash mercilessly.
