Heh. It does seem as if music has been terribly over used in horror games as of late. Would that I could compare DS2 to say, Amnesia but I could never play the latter for longer than 20 minutes. What can I say, I'm easily spookified ^^

Totally true. I hate those musical cues in survival horror. That's why fast zombies in HL2 were so scary, all you hear is the scream, and then they're on you. The tank in L4D gets a pass, but the music for the rest of the special infected gives it all away
Good one. I'll decipher the unitologist message at the bottom once I find the time. Or the need. For those who want to do it, there's a cipher in the Dead Space 2 promotional site.
Ha, so true. That always makes me laugh when you either have music or chest high walls to tell you when an ambush is going to happen.
Some of the letters are hard to make out properly, but the bottom line says www.escapistmagazine.com
EDIT: The most I've been able to make out is:
cory rydell and grey carter will __ry their __r_ens in _ood
the underscores are the ones I couldn't figure out.
It's probs wrong.

D2 or Enemy Zero?Dectilon said:
(if you're talking about the one I was thinking with this comic, say, the one in the space ship)
I think they meant Enemy Zero.teh_Canape said:
Wasn't it technically a sequel to the original 'D'?
Regardless, that was a scary game.
There was no warning.
You're walking down a hall, step into a room, and BAM! You're radio is going haywire because there's two beasties in the room.
There's no real use fighting them, so you back the fuck up and head for safety.
thought so, mostly because D2 takes place in a mountain8-Bit Grin said:
as for what you're saying, wasn't there some sort of sound warning?
and didn't you had a gun too?
don't really remember the details, I mean, it's been ages since I last played it =P

Hmmm... I think that we're thinking of two different games.
Enemy Zero was set in space.
You had a gun, but it was made practically useless for two big reasons:
1) The Monsters were invisible.
2) They ate your bullets like their tummy's were making the rumblies that only hot lead could satisfy.
It doesn't matter I suppose.
They kind of blur together for me, since I played both during my early years on the Saturn.
