BBQKITTY Personal Favorite

Dead Space 1 (Verified)

DeadSpace1

While it isn't on sale, this third-person horror game is the second game I was horrified by when I was younger. As Isaac Clarke, you are called in to help fix the USG Ishimura spaceship, but things quickly go awry as you discover the mutated aliens aboard. It is $19.99 and well worth your time! There is also a remake coming out next year, but I would still consider the original worth it.

And that is it for our list! What do you think? Any games you see here that you are going to try? Any that we missed? Let us know in the comments!
