    Since the realease of NOVA I was thinking about buying it, but then Dead Space arrived to the App Store and now I don't know which to buy...

    I have the first NOVA, a great game, but dead space story line tents me a lot. hehehe

    They're both 6.99 so, which one would you grab?

    Having tried Dead Space myself, I can say with confidence that I'd go with NOVA over Dead Space, but that's my opinion. But hold up a little while; we'll have a review for Dead Space up on the front page within a week or two, so keep an eye out for it ;) maybe it'll help you better decide for yourself. The reason I'd choose NOVA is b/c of the multiplayer and replay value (which Dead Space doesn't have much of), but if you're a horror fanatic, Dead Space is the way to go for you!

    Hmmm... In NOVA 2 it has Gameloft's trademark overly-saturated low quality textures and low-poly 3D models....

    Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus is much better than NOVA 2 in my opinion, the graphics, voice acting, all of that are just major improvements and makes it Gameloft's best game...

    I have yet to try Dead Space, but I'd imagine it's pretty great on it's own, with apparently suspenseful scenes and well made music... And It's from EA, but even there it shows how lacking EA has become lately in terms of polish. Yes, lighting effects are great in Dead Space, but the monsters are extremely low-poly. At least the colors look better.

    IDK. Just basing Dead Space on looks and what I've heard, so I can't really suggest yes or no for it...

    NOVA graphics are in no way amazing; they're definitely good, though. Just not kingly/mind-blowing. Same goes for Dead Space after the first opening scene and level
