dead space for pc may need some work

In a generous and loving show of good will, my boyfriend decided to pick up Dead Space for the PC instead of the Xbox so that I could occasionally play my Oblivion character. Nice boys are so hard to find! Unfortunately it seems that this game was pretty clearly designed with a gamepad in mind and the keyboard controls make it insanely difficult to get around. Also when you first start the game the mouse is crazy sluggish and weird and we had to spend a lot of time Googling issues with the game. We finally lowered the resolution, which was the only thing that fixed the mouse in his game, even though concensus seems to be that turning off Vsync in the game is the way to fix the mouse. Weird. Anyhoo after much swearing and sarcastic admonishing of his new game the boy finally started getting the hang of the controls and actually advanced further into the game then the first objective of hitting a switch, shooting a thing and then running and hitting another switch. The Necromorphs are pretty damn scary and the soundtrack makes you really jumpy (even if you're playing another game and just overhearing it, as I was). The PC version is getting the same high reviews that the console releases are getting so with any luck the control issues can be overcome, or at the very least we may have to invest in a PC gamepad for this one.
