Dead Space 1: 9.1
Very solid first entry into a new IP, great atmosphere, good controls.  A few issues that are relatively minor, such as lack of much emotional connection to Isaac Clarke.

Dead Space 2: 9.7
Builds upon the infrastructure of the first, makes a compelling story, builds the character, fleshes out and varies the enemies.  Atmosphere is palpable and terrifying.

Dead Space 3: 7.8
Pretty good action shooter, with virtually none of the survival horror aspects that defined its predecessors aside from the enemies sharing names.  Story is much more convoluted, emotion is not nearly as present or important it seems.  Weapon customization is great, and Co-op is fun, but it doesn’t make up for everything taken away that defined the series.
A good game, pales in comparison to the first two, and suffers because of the connection.
