Let me start this review out by saying that I am a huge Warhammer 40,000 geek and have been one for a long time. I’ve been waiting for this particular intellectual property to be mined for video games and with THQs release of the original Dawn of War, I was not disappointed. The original was a solid RTS with up to 10 or 11 completely unique races to choose from, depending on the expansions purchased. The game stayed true to the source material, adding lots of 40k-esque details and generally creating the right kind of atmosphere. Overall, it is an excellent game with lots of good replay value.

Let me start off by saying that the Street Fighter franchise has a special place in my heart. I didn’t really hop on the bandwagon when Street Fighter and Street Fighter 2 came out in the arcades, but when I did finally give it a try I loved it. Plus the game is the original fighting game that gave rise to so many others right now.
Now on to the matter at hand: Street Fighter IV. The game that took years in the making since Street Fighter 3: Third Strike, back in 1999. There were all the little variations before that like Alpha and Alpha 2 but nothing significant (we can just forget EX…please!)

I have never really played horror games all that much. For the most part most of them always seem to recycle the same stuff over and over again. There are a few household names that have held this genre of games down for a long time and new ones always pop up to try and contend with them but never really quite make it. Who’s to say that Dead Space would be any different?
Basically the game premise has a typical horror-esque feel to it. You are Isaac Clarke, an engineer that is sent to a mining ship, only to find out that something unexplainable has happened and all of the crew members are no where in sight.
