If my learned colleague finds Dead Space boring, but, as he says at the end of his review, is "still hung up on Silent Hill," then this could mean one of two things. Either he's hung up on the original Silent Hill or the series as a whole.
In his review of Silent Hill: Homecoming, he stated that Silent Hill 2 was his favorite, which suggests he means the entire series -- otherwise, he'd have mentioned 2 in his review of Dead Space. Yet his reviews of Homecoming and Origins were largely negative, which suggests he doesn't favor the series at all.
The apparent contradiction makes more sense if seen as a case of poetic license: he pretends to despise games which annoy him slightly in order to emphasize the flaws for comic effect.
Or does he mean "hung up" in the romantic sense? Is he explaining to Dead Space itself that he can't offer his heart to more than one franchise at a time?
It's possible Yahtzee Croshaw is a boy who enjoys tossing invective at the girl on whom he has a secret crush. Perhaps his harshest appraisals of games are sometimes expressions of affection.
Short answer: He might have enjoyed Dead Space more than he lets on.
