The dialog relationship between carver and clarke is great, but the plot needs to slow down and look at itself or the dead Space franchise is going to end up doing the same campy mistakes GOW and AC did-rely on the gospel of second rate books. There needs to more creative writing in gaming and after failures like gears of War 3, Assassin's Creed 3. To me, this is the development team grinning with satisfaction over how they canoodled their way into extending their employment.
