Dead Space 2 is a survival horror third-person shooter. The player controls Isaac Clarke from a third-person point of view, looking over the character’s right shoulder. The game features no HUD elements, relying on holograms projected from the player character and his weapons to show information such as messages and ammunition count, respectively. Player health and stasis is shown by a visual indicators located on Isaac’s back. Isaac must fight an alien organism that infects and takes control of human corpses, turning them into “Necromorphs”, mutating their bodies.
Necromorphs must be dismembered as the alien organism controls host bodies via tentacles extending into their limbs. Other, larger types of Necromorphs that cannot be dismembered will often have yellow, glowing pustules, indicating weak spots. Occasionally, when an enemy gets close enough to Isaac, they will grab a hold of him, and the player must repeatedly press a key to fend off the enemy, with failure to do so leading to death of the player character.
CPU limiting is a problem with this test, even with an overclocked Core i7. Still it is hardly a concern as the frame rate results are incredible, even from the single HD6970.
I saw this last week online, its a rather hefty price. almost £300.
I always have bought GIgabyte mobos, never let me down.
I like it, very nice colour scheme and board layout. I think if I was spending £300 on a mobo, this would be it. I just bought a new laptop so any desktop system upgrades are for later in the year.
oohh pretty … GIGabyte mobo have left me down in the past, But I dont hold it against them. For £300 it wants to be real gold on there
