“Dead Space” is the tablet version of the popular PC and console game—and, yes, it’s fantastic on a big touchscreen. Aliens are taking over the space station, and it’s up to you to stop them. The visuals of the game are impressive, and the storyline is utterly absorbing. Play with your headphones for full immersion. Disconcerting noises resound from all corners, and horror music cues during gruesome scenes. Your enemies (the aliens) will close in on you quickly as you jab at your screen, trying to retaliate. If you’re interested in how a “real game” can look on a portable slate, download “Dead Space.”
