Can't decide Dead space 1 or Limbo?

If you seen too many horror movies, Dead Space isn't at all scary. If you're a fan of the genre, you will still get some good laughs before dropping the game if you're an idiot that cannot figure out what to do next.... like me. Never played Limbo. Personally, I would pick Limbo just because of my experience with Dead Space. It wasn't a BAD experience, but I am kinda picky and nit pick with everything.

I love the Dead Space series, only lack the mobile game at this point (no compatible device). I say give that a try.

I've never played Dead Space but I loved Limbo. However, it is rather short.

Limbo is pretty short (<2 hours), I'd choose DS.

Limbo IMO is a story not a game. Because the control is basic and simple, the process is very linear. What you can do is only what you are allowed to do and it is the only way that you can push forward. However consider it as a story, it is awesome. It has unique art style, great atmosphere, and a story that makes plenty space for you to think of. Dead space is a good game as well. That depends on which way you like, more action or story telling.

Dead Space all the way man. Its not scary if u r used to scary stuff but there are some jump-scare moments that did get me. AND if u are gonna play DS 2, u will be really glad that u played the 1st one.

Get DS!

I don't think there can be a valid comparison, unless your next question is: Bananas or Chicken livers

p.s. I say Dead space O;

If you're OK with Origin I can give you a free copy of Dead Space :) Then you're free to buy Limbo!

Both are great so this way you can play both!

This is only for OP, I don't want everyone reading this to add me...

Go with Dead Space

Dead Space! Definitely! I mean it's such an awesome game! -

and the 2nd game is cool too but never played the 3rd tho..

Limbo is a very short game. It'll only take a few hours to beat.

They're both good, both worth it, both found cheap... but two ENTIRELY different games. Are you in the mood for a 2D Platformer or 3rd person shooter?

Dead Space, I'm currently playing it, you'll be in for lots of surprises.

Limbo, hands down.

Limbo is quite simply one of the best (puzzle) platformers in recent times. It's terribly polished, the puzzles consistently hit an almost perfect balance between cleverness and difficutly, and it's food for thought.

It's also quite short, if you don't go completist on it, you can beat it in less than 4 hours.

Unless the indie game in question is Cave Story, there are few circumstances in which you should go with an indie game over a great AAA game.

Both are very atmospheric, but if you aren't that into horror, get LIMBO. If you aren't that into puzzles, get Dead Space. If you don't like either, get Fortix, as it is the best game on steam.
(Also, why didn't you just get the Humble Origin Bundle and the Humble Bundle 9 not too long ago?)

LIMBO!
