Fresh out of an extended Resident Evil 4 binge, I was sure no other survival-horror game would ever compare in quality. Then I played Dead Space, which was basically RE4 in space. Fantastic score and atmosphere, very solid gameplay, and the most important part, it really made you feel like a survivor, not Rambo blasting through zombies like a hot knife through butter.

I think my main complaint about Dead Space was the lack of boss battles. IIRC, there were two real boss fights (maybe three), including the final boss. Killing the same necromorphs over and over does get tedious, even when the situation is changing. One thing RE4 did exceptionally well was pushing the intense, difficult, and interesting boss battles onto you at the perfect pace.
